What to know about Haversack
Military archetypes, loosened and softened
Vintage army, workwear and uniform patterns are rebuilt as relaxed garments — duffle and reefer coats, denim anoraks, washed cotton shirting — rather than reproduced faithfully.
Tailoring construction under casual clothes
Norihide applies men's tailoring methods to natural fibres like cotton, linen and wool, which is where the high price sits relative to plainer workwear labels.
Made in Japan, split into lines
Design and production have stayed in Japan since 1997, across Haversack Attire, HS Equipment and a women's collection; UK shoppers can find it at Clutch Cafe in London.
