As ever, Cabourn takes the original clothing, fabrics and accessories and recreates them in a way that makes them almost reproductions of the originals; robust, fit-for-purpose and designed for a serious utilitarian role in a harsh, life-threatening environment.
And, of course, they're made in the UK from materials the same as (such as Ventile) or similar to the originals. No Gore-Tex here, these are natural materials, cotton or wool, manufactured to protect against cold and moisture.
