Here at The Coolector, we have a soft spot for adventure-ready apparel that not only looks the part but also delivers on performance. Enter the &SONS Takin Fleece Jacket (£225)—a rugged piece from their Mountain Range, designed with a nostalgic nod to the fearless climbers of the 1970s. This jacket captures the essence of retro mountain style while delivering the warmth and comfort needed for modern-day outdoor exploits.

The Takin Fleece Jacket is crafted from 100% polyester borg fleece with a bonded double-layer construction, complete with an internal microfiber fleece for extra insulation. This combination ensures that the jacket provides exceptional warmth and comfort, making it ideal for braving the harshest conditions. Inspired by the resourcefulness of 70s mountaineers, &SONS added thoughtful details that elevate both the functionality and style of the piece. Recycled plastic buttons and para-cord loop details on the lower patch pockets add unique touches that pay homage to the improvisational spirit of early climbers.

This fleece jacket seamlessly blends rugged style with practical features. The canvas trim fabric, 1×1 rib binding, and sleeve pocket not only add durability but also give the Takin Fleece a true mountain-ready feel. The inner chest and lower patch pockets provide ample storage space for your adventure essentials, while the contrast canvas fabric lining the inner pockets adds a distinct touch of character. Whether you’re layering up for a chilly hike or just want a versatile piece to wear on cooler days, the Takin Fleece has you covered with both timeless style and performance-driven design.

The inspiration behind the Takin Fleece comes from the pioneering climbers of the 1970s, who didn’t have access to the high-tech gear we know today. Instead, they made do with workwear, military surplus, and whatever clothing they could find to keep the cold at bay, creating an iconic rugged style in the process. The Takin Fleece pays tribute to this spirit—it’s the kind of jacket you could imagine those early adventurers throwing on at the base of a climb, offering warmth and comfort before an ascent, or gathering around the campfire after a long day of scaling rock faces.

The Takin Fleece Jacket is a testament to &SONS’ commitment to blending classic heritage style with modern functionality. Made in Sri Lanka and featuring recycled polyester labels, this fleece is crafted with sustainability in mind. Its regular fit and versatile features make it a fantastic choice for any outdoor enthusiast, whether you’re exploring mountain trails or layering up for an evening out. The &SONS Takin Fleece Jacket delivers on all fronts, ensuring you stay warm, comfortable, and effortlessly stylish, whatever your adventure might be.
