Having just returned from partaking in the daily SchoolRunOneupmanship* and winning clearly (there is only one contestant usually; me) I was astounded by how many other dads had foregone a jacket.
It’s April, lads. Get a grip. A prime time to be jacketed up, what with the prospect of April Showers (best meteorological porn name going that) coming to visit.
You need a jacket. Preferably with a hood. We at Proper ALWAYS need jackets. Preferably with hoods. So here’s a jacket perfect for now, with a hood, and it just happens to be Daiki designed.
Available from our Southern Coastal Brighton Buddies, Peggs & Son we have the aptly named Beach Parka from Engineered Garments.
Yes; hood. Yes; pockets (standard for EG obvs). Yes; fetching check lining. Yes; navy twill, outer. Yes; drawstring hood and waist. Yes; relaxed fit and ace length for spring.
No; to being pissed on by April Showers *turns and winks to camera in Robin Askwith way*.
Just don’t show up on my school run wearing it. I’m the undefeated champion of SchoolRunOneupmanship and I’m not about to lose my standing to you: “Go find a beach Punk.”
Available now for £317 at Peggs & Son
