Often overlooked by its contemporaries, Homeroom continues to produce garments at a level of quality, and sophistication rarely seen from American label and we commend them for that. Their latest collection entitled “American Rejects” takes its cues from the blue collar works of the 30’s and 50’s, a reflection on nostalgic Americana wear. Overlooked by the social elite as hardworking laborer’s, your pier workers, miners, and everyday men are saluted by this collection.
These principles are evident in the Docks & Piers Shorten Peacoat, a modern take on the classic naval piece. Made of California wool with leather work from San Fransisco, the piece’s modern detailing and silhouette are welcomed revisions. As a brand matures its always interesting to see what direction it will take with its succeeding collections. Homeroom seems to be headed in a direction commonly seen, as workwear has taken to the masses, it will be interesting to see how they will continue to distinguish their pieces from those of other heritage brands.
