The New Originals - J.W Hulme Co.

The words vintage, heritage or classic seem to be attached to a lot of new products these days, but only a few brands are really doing something archival while still being original. J.W. Hulme Co.'s new collection called the Sporting Originals is just that—a new line of historically inspired bags that the century-old Minnesota brand created 35 years ago for outdoor outfitter Gokey. Sparked by demand from their heritage-loving customers, the collection was crafted using materials from the original line (think 10 oz. waterproof canvas, rich full grain leather and matte nickel hardware).

From sheer tops and knit vests to paneled outerwear, the Lanvin man took flight in an eclectic array that was difficult to unravel, but nevertheless engaging. Rounding off with chunky jewelery that possessed a certain ancient quality, designer Lucas Ossendrijver molded one of the best standout collections of the season.
