On the coldest and most frost-covered English mornings it can be time to bring out the heavier artillery. The Bowerbridge puffer jacket is an icon, pulled straight from the archives and is built for those chillier days.

This puffer is the perfect coat for those who have prioritised comfort, cosiness and warmth this year. Wear yours with some Edwin jeans, a Far Afield knit polo and some Playboy Chukka boots for an easy casual fit for your next winter outing.
