With the slew of astrakhan and shearling ambling down the catwalks at Paris, Milan and now London, James Long too turned to texture for Autumn/Winter. His Boiler Room boys, inspired by the work of Bruce Labruce and Guy Maddin came decked in ultra heavy corduroy pile trousers in the richest of navy and extending to a softer, more tactile play on the boiler suit. Mohair and piled and matted fur were played off against leather and ribbed wool when utilized for an update on the moto jacket and flight jackets and gillets too saw an ammalgamation of ultra tactility with corduroy, quilted leather raw wool and fur played off against one another.
The juxtaposition of hard and soft continued through to James' trademark knits. In navy and layered over black, chunky cables were deconstructed and unravelling, their ultra soft contrasted against slim cut biker style leather trousers.
