Brighton Visit - Casual Winter Outfit - Universal Works Chore Jacket Test by Bartosz Gajec

On my day off I visited Brighton. It was a chilly but sunny day and I was able to chill on the beach. I wandered around west site of the city which is residential filled with beautiful victorian and georgian houses with walls painted white. It is quieter part of Brighton and really spectacular as it is located on the hill overlooking the city centre and beach.

I chose to dress comfortably, casually of course and warm. The trip was a first test for my new wool chore jacket and it passed the test positively. In fact I really love the jacket, the look and the cut. It is shorter than most of chore jacket I know but gives more room in chest and shoulder area. I have to admit that this is perfect fit for me as most of the brands tend to cut their jackets in size small or xs too long and tight in chest area. One thing I will change is the material. It begs for full weight scottish wool! Instead Universal Works chose to use thin wool blend material.

Light Folk Mac Coat by Bartosz Gajec

Another of my hunting treasures this time light mac coat from Folk! This is the model from 2012 collection but still the design is very original and rare.

Lots of cool detail like leather neck strap, white waist string, brown bottoms etc. Cotton shell and light blue body warmer vest which is detachable.

All with blue jeans, green jumper, brown Wolverine boots and brown gloves very tone down and natural.
