Made by humans. Read by kindred spirits.
More than six months of work, brought together in 196 pages.
Behind this issue are journalists researching, interviewing, and writing;
a graphic designer and an art director shaping every spread; an artist creating an original painting commissioned for the cover; and a printer bringing it all to life on premium paper.
Every conversation, photograph, and page is there to share something worth discovering. To deepen your knowledge, delight your eyes, and open your mind to the people and stories behind the clothes.
We made An Anthology of Outerwear to be held, read, and returned to. And, somewhere along the way, to make you fall in love with outerwear.
Pre-orders will receive priority shipping and will be dispatched in early December.
From Everest expeditions to city streets, discover the stories behind the clothes made for life outdoors.
For our seventh anthology, we turn to mountain parkas, hunting coats, down jackets, and the people behind them. Clothes designed to solve a practical problem: how to keep going when the weather turns against you.
Across 196 pages, we follow their stories from Everest expeditions to Colorado workshops, from historic outdoor catalogs to some of the world’s finest private collections. Along the way, we meet the collectors, designers, and vintage dealers who keep finding reasons to buy another jacket.
A few things you’ll find inside:
From Tweed to Gore-Tex: a century of dressing for Everest.
The Grizzly’s Comeback Season: the story behind an American vintage obsession.
Life and Work of Leon Leonwood Bean: the man behind L.L.Bean.

Around the World in Winter Hats: the many ways people have kept their heads warm.
Duxbak to the Future: hunting and camping gear that still feels remarkably modern.
When Pop Culture Layered Up: five functional garments that became lasting style icons.
More than any issue before it, this one belongs beside a fire, in a cabin somewhere in the mountains or deep in the woods. We hope you’ll take it there.
