So I've already got a couple of Axemen; one with a woolen shell and the other in waxed canvas. Excellent, practical garments in every way. Didn't really need another one
But Black Friday came along and I just couldn't resist picking one up in a classic Roark style; Kikagaku. I've got a Nordsman shirt with this attractive jacquard weave, along with matching fleece hoodie. They do look great worn together.. or separately
Was also curious to see how size extra-small would fit my slight (5'9" 130lb) frame and I'm very pleased with the result. A slick, tailored look, there's no room for layering, but I don't intend wearing it on the coldest days. Here's why: the shell's only 10% wool. My others have more wool in the shell (dark navy2) or the liner fill (Halley Stevensons) and therefore more effectively insulated
But like I said, I got this one for the design/print. Sometimes it's OK to be a bit chill when you look cool AF! And as is so often the case with Roark, product looks even better in person, as the accompanying photo will attest
