Items with removable pieces have always drawn the short straw, so to speak. They’re usually badly made jackets with incredibly flimsy hoods, so it’s great to see someone doing it differently. This Fifth avenue shoe repair jacket has the standard removable hood, but it’s done in a different manner from usual – with the removable hood also having a wrap-around neck piece and a hidden Velcro attachment. Get it from Oak.
