This marks my 2nd Aquascutum raincoat I’ve found in my lifetime within a thrift store. The first one I found was brand new and had the tags and buttons in the pocket and this raincoat is either nearly new or new. When I found this Aquascutum raincoat I just fell out because this is a 160 year old English very luxurious brand and you just don’t find it everyday. This coat fits me like an Hermes glove so I’m keeping it for myself, the other one I gave to Mitch my partner. Aquascutum is Latin for the phrase ‘water shield’ and the label’s roots are embedded in a rain shelter. Joanna Sykes is the design director for the brand and I just have to say thank you Joanna and everyone before her that designed for this luxury brand. I have several pieces of Aquascutum in my closet and each time I find a new piece I feel like I’m the luckiest person in the world. I know the value of their pieces and I know the quality is superior so the next time you are thrifting keep your eyes peeled for this label and when you find it let me hear from you… Stop by doubletake when in Atlanta. Toodles for now. Daniel your luxury curator!
