Oi Polloi and Henri Lloyd unveil their new range of collaborative coats
The two brands have reworked the iconic Consort Jacket, coming in four vibrant colourways
Oi Polloi and Henri Lloyd have teamed up to release a 2019 version of the latter’s iconic Consort Jacket, in an array of vibrant, winter-ready colourways.
Initially designed to protect sailors and explorers against harsh weather conditions, the Consort Jacket always held a certain style that made it as suitable for the streets as it were for exploring.

Made from nylon, the original coat was fully waterproof, had taped seams, a neat nylon zip and Velcro fastening. Since the original design in 1965, the jacket has had a handful of iterations and changes made to it.
Most notably Olmes Carretti (former Best Company designer) joined the team and added a raglan sleeve, cord collar and a Round the World Race badge - much to the joy of the Paniniaro - a Milan-based group of lads who wore the Consort Jacket as a sort of uniform.
