 The Outerwear Collection, made by Goldenbear | Kith NYC x Harris Tweed

Beautifully stitched from swaths of Scottish highlands & sections of city streets, Kith NYC‘s collaboration outerwear with Harris Tweed Fabrics & Goldenbear is a handsome solution to the conundrum of dressing for Thanksgiving bar-hopping. The collection is minute, with just three pieces, but each is damn-near perfect, with quilted, poly-filled linings, wool-banded waist hems, and cuffs sewn with leather patches to minimize fraying with wear. And all three pieces are made to order in the US by Goldenbear, a company that got its start outfitting longshoremen, and later, WWII dogfighting aces. Take a closer look:

The Harringbone Letterman Jacket ($460 USD) would be team-issue on Wes Anderson’s football roster. It’s a classic varsity with a torso of brown, handmade-in-Scotland tweed with running strands of rich orange & sky blue. The shawl collar and hem are banded wool/acrylic and match the tweed’s orange; sleeves are black leather.

The Plaid Baseball Jacket ($460) cuts a similar profile, but it eschews gridiron for diamond, with classic baseball stripes cut from snow-white leathers. The tweed is a double-windowpane of maroon & royal blue on a forest background.

A limited-edition vest ($350), with black banding and red leather details framing a rough tweed almost pinkish in hue, resembles something you might see in Harrison Ford’s closet in his American Graffiti days.

Grab this stuff up at 11a today at Kith NYC stores and its webstore.
