PREMISES
the initial idea came years ago from our logistics department
their challenge was to be able to dress in a way that would be appropriate in the lobby of a palace, the tarmac of an airport, while being able to mix with the crowd on the train back home, as well as in the dive-bar of a rock venue when their mission is over
they needed a garment that was tough, tactical, stylish, but also ordinary
we’ve been trying to bridge these worlds ever since
AUDIENCE
combine is geared towards specialists in the events industry, as well as the logistics and security sectors

MOTTO
for the common and the novel

the artist, the model
the host and the visitor
for the high and the low brow
the architect, the builder
the student, the teacher
the writer and the reader

- two oversized “hip” pockets
oversized: we believe in layering to keep you warm and dry yet ventilated
pockets galore: to easily dispose of all the basic things you always need with you in a convenient and smart way
also security checks where all you have to do is simply take your jacket off is worth a try
foldable hood: too many umbrellas lost in the storms, and we cannot always afford the luxury of not being hands-free
but this hood needs to disappear in style
