RACING GREEN SS12 COLLECTION...

“Simplicity is making the journey of this life with just baggage enough” (Charles Dudley Warner 1829 – 1900).

There is an art to dressing that extends beyond simply seeing and buying. Good clothes become family; they mix together, new with old. They develop a personality, individually and collectively, with no discernable beginning or end and finally they are greater than the sum of the parts.

A good brand will always express your personality, not its own - no names needed.

True to our original values, the Racing Green Spring / Summer men’s collection encompasses that feeling.  Individually well thought out pieces come together to complete a perfect wardrobe. You add new garments, build a personal collection of favorite items, that feel more at home the more you wear them. Each piece is classic enough to keep, but thoughtfully cut and finished, so the personality is always contemporary.

The range cuts so many different ways that what results is just the right amount of everything - a wardrobe of clothes that work as your own personal collection.

Key product statements for SS12 are:

Clean laundered casual shirts

We have two stories in shirtings for SS12:

Our Laundered Classics take traditional and timeless oxford weave, end on end and poplin, worked into neatly styled and soft washed shirts, with fine stitching and subtle trims.

Checks feature strongly for the season, in both subtle and bold design, styled into clean, unfussy shapes with neat collars and others with western influenced yokes and pocket detail.

Chinos

The classic navy, stone and sand twills create the basis of our chino range, now in two fits. The regular fit has twin needle detail and a soft wash, whilst the slim fit has clean seams and a rinse wash that will develop your shape as you wear it.

Clean and smart denim

LiKe the chino, we have introduced two fits. Regular fit is available in both stonewash and rinsewash. Our slim fit is styled in dark wash coated denim, to work with the clean cut shirts.

Engineers jacket and a timeless zipped Harrington jacket.
