Reveals, New Launches and Gear
Victorinox Fall/Winter 2015 Collection
One-layer weather is on its way out, and if you’ve gotten rusty on your bundling-up game, Victorinox’s new collection is an easy solution. Each upper-body item in the collection allows the wearer to “snap in” Victorinox’s new Matterhorn Utility Vest, making for a layering solution that doesn’t restrict movement and reduces friction between layers. This leaves no excuse for wearing two flannel shirts on top of one another.
