Buying clothing might feel like an arduous experience in the modern age — a minefield of impersonal brands who over-produce their products and sell clothes that may (or, most likely, may not) fit correctly when they finally arrive on your doorstep. Onsloe, a brand based in New York City, aims to shift the paradigm around men’s style, building a curatorial approach to the way it sources, produces and sells each and every one of its garments. Case in point? Its Abner Crombie Coat. As is the case with all Onsloe products, fabrics are sourced from the best locations around the world; in the case of this Crombie style, this lined overcoat is crafted from 100 per Shetland Wool from renowned Scottish mill, Lovat. Tapping into the legacy of the Crombie silhouette (for the record, Crombie coats date as far back as the 1960s and count The Beatles and Sir Winston Churchill as fans), Onsloe’s version clocks in at a three-quarter length with a contrasting collar in plush velvet. Best of all, each Onsloe piece is custom and literally made-to-order, so you can add anything from an extra pocket and a few inches on the sleeves, to a subtle embroidered detail. This doesn’t simply represent a more sustainable way to produce clothing, it’s also a reminder that Onsloe celebrates the deeply personal nature of how men build their wardrobes. Well-sourced, thoughtfully hand-constructed and designed to minimize waste? We can’t think of a better way to build our wardrobes.
