The Mac #2

My Spring fail safe

Last October we talked about The Mac and other Icons, you could say the Mac took centre stage, or the icons that wore them did. Now Spring has sprung the Mac can take a step forward again for that easy starring role.

Get the right one and you’ve a friend for life. For me it shall be…

Single breasted

Throat Latch

No belt

Three pockets, one internal

Knee length

Detachable liner

Single vented.

Must be happy to live in the back of the car.

Colour - Cream. Stone. khaki. Ivory.

How? Over a shirt and necktie. Roll neck. Scarf. Dressed up. T-shirt. LS Polo. Dressed down. Suited and booted. Denim, top and bottom. Tweed. Knitwear. Black tie. Sweats.

All of which is why it is a Spring staple. With the liner a comforting hug on a chilly morning, without it a fine top layer guarding against the breeze and then there’s the inimitable April showers. The mac has it all covered.

Oh and by the way, works great going in to autumn too. I believe they call that ‘double-bubble’
