80s CASUALS CAGOULES

'STORM' CAGOULE from a few years back.




A simple, functional and easily packable Cagoule has always been a staple of 80s Casuals from our first foray into the clothing market 4 years ago. Our very first designed piece was the 'Storm' and then the 'Awayday' Cagoules and this Autumn/Winter we re-interpret the design again to sit alongside a Smock as part of a new collection. The jacket will have two front pockets and a full length zip. It will be waterproof and be a 2 coloured piece.
We should have the design print available in a week or so with a manufactured sample in the next month and as usual they will appear here first.
A 'Storm Cagoule' [pictured above] appeared on ebay recently and there is another on there at the moment. The jacket zip has the original 80s Casuals multi-coloured logo and the badge on the arm is an embroidered version only ever used the once. The run was limited to just 100 pieces x 2 colourways. The design was based on the Patrick Cagoule that appeared in the early 80s and became a must have item with its two front pockets and two hidden velcro fastening breast pockets.
