Urban Industry x Penfield ’10th Anniversary’ Pac Mac Jacket

Posted on by bythelevel

 

This week saw the release of the limited edition ‘Pac Mac’ Jacket from UK streetwear establishment Urban Industry and New England based outerwear brand Penfield, celebrating 10 years of working together.

The Pac Mac jacket is one of Penfield’s key styles, hugely popular throughout the 90’s when it was donned by various high profile musicians, the jacket has seen a bit of a resurgence lately thanks to the popularity of quarter zip pullovers. Using the jackets original construction as a base, Urban Industry have applied one of the strongest colour ways to the Pac Mac that we have seen, with black colour blocking on the arms meeting with a crisp white on the body, inspired by the contrasting chalky white cliffs and black pebble beaches which surround the stores native Eastbourne. The lightweight jacket features bold dual branded logo graphics on the arm to mark the 10th anniversary release, with a subtle woven Penfield logo on the kangaroo pouch pocket. Additional features include an adjustable hem, waist and hood, with elasticated cuffs to offer further protect you from the weather. For added practicality, the jacket can be packed away in to the velcro kangaroo pouch pocket making it easy to carry around when not needed.

Check out the visuals that we put together for the release above, shot against the chalky cliffs of Birling Gap.  The Urban Industry x Penfield ’10th Anniversary’ Pac Mac Jacket is available now in extremely limited numbers exclusively at Urban Industry.

Penfield x Saucony Originals “60/40″ Pack

Posted on by bythelevel

 

Rounding off a great year for both brands, Boston based heavyweights Penfield and Saucony join forces to present the seasonal “60/40″ pack.

With each brand sharing a similar backstory, it was only a matter of time before this collaboration came about. The release utilizes Penfield’s expertise in robust outerwear design and Saucony’s heritage in authentic running footwear, combining both brands aesthetic to produce a shoe that is ready to tackle the rigours of both the street and trail.

The classic Shadow Original, with its simplistic design and performance features, provided the base for the collaboration and despite not overworking the silhouette, there have definitely been some considerable technical upgrades for the season.

The name “60/40″ comes from Penfield’s iconic Teflon coated 60/40 Cotton-Nylon material that has been used by the brand since it started back in 1975. The water-repellent fabric is applied to the shoes upper, while suede overlays give a durable finish. The latest iteration of the Shadow Original features a padded collar and tongue for a comfortable fit and protection for the foot, while the polyurethane midsole gives support and durability, working with Saucony’s heel cushioning system for added comfort upon impact.

Hiking references can be found throughout the design, with a hiking boot lace loop, rope style laces and mesh netting on the heel. Each shoe features dual branding on the insole and Penfields classic logo stitched to the tongue. The pack was designed to align with the aesthetic of Penfield’s current offerings, applying earthy tones such as tan, olive and a deep obsidian to the uppers, sitting on top of a pure white midsole and black outsole.

The Penfield X Saucony  “60/40″ Pack is now available in stores across the country and will be available to purchase online at the following stores from Tuesday the 2nd of December;
