“An unlined Hebrides took me through spring to summer and now that cooler weather's prevailed, I've upgraded to it's fleecy counterpart. I really couldn't be more pleased
Got a couple of Axemans in my wardrobe, and this jacket strikes me as its little brother, with many of the features you might expect; snap buttons (cuffs, pockets & placket) fleece lining and contrasting colored collar
Fit's expectedly a little looser than the unlined version and the shell itself's a blend rather than 100% cotton
And what a blend it is! Cotton, polyester and a touch of nylon specifically; a soft, brushed hand feel with a luxurious glow to the color. Yet the cloth seems as tough as regular canvas. Hope it'll turn out to have the longevity of my ancient sherpa lined denim jacket. Looking forward to finding out over the years
And that's another thing about the Hebrides. It's got a classic, timeless look - lots of practical pockets (including one hidden inside at the left breast!) and beautiful colorways. Choosing was really the only tough part. Shoulda got the Pecan instead”
