His band Oasis may have a quintessentially 90s sound, but the Liam Gallagher of today aims for a more timeless style. This is true of his recent solo record Why Me? Why Not. as well as his extensive parka collection. From his early days in Manchester to his current tour, these parkas have constantly served as the foundation of his wardrobe.
Designer Nigel Cabourn shares Gallagher’s love of parkas and military gear in general, making his first big splash in the late 1970s with a design based on a vintage British Royal Air Force jacket.
Gallagher and Cabourn have collaborated on 2 parkas for the Liam Gallagher x Nigel Cabourn Parka Collection. Inspired by a US Army anorak from the 1940s, the Long Smock is distinguished by a large front kangaroo pocket and an off-center three-button collar. The Reversible Smock blends the best elements from several vintage military designs, featuring a sizable zipper pocket on one side and three-button pockets on the other.
