Nigel Cabourn

Nigel Cabourn is a British fashion designer famous for his outerwear[1] and passion for vintage clothing.[2] He studied at Northumbria University between 1967 and 1971 and unlike the majority of designers his studio and business is still based in the North East of England.[3]

The collections are influenced[4] by history, military clothing[5] and vintage fabrics[6][7] such as Harris Tweed & Ventile.

The Army Gym is the Japanese shop for the Nigel Cabourn brands. In August 2008, Nigel Cabourn Marketing Ltd., was set up as a joint venture with Abahouse Holdings Co. Ltd., the joint owner of Outer Limits Co. Ltd., that makes the Nigel Cabourn ‘Main Line’ collection.
