When asked how we define the aesthetic of the store, there really is one garment that pretty much sums it up: the Ridgeline Supply Jacket from Rogue Territory.
The ethos of the store is to showcase quality goods from around the globe – independent clothing brands and artisanal makers that you can’t find anywhere else. We want to bring to Wellington, and New Zealand, men’s clothing that is both utilitarian and classic in style – workwear that will transcend any quick fad or seasonal fashion.
The Ridgeline supply jacket epitomises this. Made by the independent LA based husband and wife company: Rogue Territory (RGT) and produced in small quantities for selected stockists that love and appreciate all these slow qualities getting lost in the world of fast fashion. What started out as a custom denim workshop by designer Karl Thoennessen has evolved into a full scale ready to wear brand for people who enjoy subtle design details, impeccable fit and modern interpretations of classic garments. And the ridgeline supply jacket does just that – it has such a modern classic feel, it has fit that suits every wearer and instantly feels timeless as well as showcasing ultimate quality!
It was one of the first garments we knew we needed to have in the store and has stuck with us from Day 1. As far as men’s clothing in wellington or in NZ goes, we firmly believe this jacket will fit into anyone’s wardrobe with ease. Currently in store we have a limited release 8.25oz black waxed canvas ridgeline, and 2 blanket lined versions for the ultimate in cosiness and comfort as well as style. Alongside these sits the classic 10oz waxed cotton canvas ridgeline in tan. It has become a bit of a celebrity in its’ own right – being worn by both James Bond (Daniel Craig) and by Ryan Reynolds on the silver screen.
If you love workwear, utilitarian style and enjoy adding timeless, classic garments that will last into your wardrobe, then you really can’t go past this beautiful piece of quality mens clothing!
