Canada – about urban life in Vancouver, the Canadian forests and the Canadian Air Force at Goose Bay.
The MAC Autumn/Winter 2020 looks are influenced by life in Canada: unbelievable expanses, untouched nature and endless forests. Icy temperatures and modern, urban life meet lumberjack romanticism, big-city charm, and influences of the Canadian Air Force at Canada’s Goose Bay in the northern province of Labrador. The pulsating life of the major city of
Vancouver forms a strict contrast to the wilderness and the rough coastal landscape of this exciting and varied country.
The styles for MAC man will also be full of contrasts next winter! The collection for the cold season is subdivided into three themes: College Vancouver, Yukon and Canadian Air Force at Goose Bay. Elaborate hidden details with checked and striped linings, high-quality and denim details in the flat fabric as well as multicolored decorative stitching reflect the Canadian,
College Vancouver
Inspired by big-city college life in Vancouver, the styles of this theme are going to be more formal in Autumn/Winter 2020. MAC man looks ‘dressed’ and wears trousers that can be perfectly combined with sports jackets and yet still look casual. Especially chinos dominate this theme! Foremost are the slim cut Lenny and the regular fit cut Martin.
In addition to clean denims and washes, color denims and super soft left-hand denims are available. Left-hand denims score with their extra-soft quality, a result of the reverse ridge of twill. Reactive denim– i.e. denim that is fast-dyed and therefore does not fade – is also part of the new collection.
Soft gabardine provides extra wearing comfort. Discreet checks give the most exquisite woolen styles a casual look. Tweed, herringbone, clean corduroy styles and cotton ceramica, striped or checked, are reminiscent of Canada’s partly British roots. Five-pockets are available as varieties of Brad, Ben and Rocky, with trendy rivets and decorative stitching, and are spruced up with elaborate inner waistband cords.
The slim cut Arne, which was introduced for the first time in spring/summer 2020, must not be missing in winter, either! The color range of the collection is autumnally warm, but also maritime: You will find everything from autumn leaf shades to marine, deep blue sea and through to ruby red.
Yukon
Canada is instinctively associated with endless forests and sturdy, vigorous lumberjacks hailing from all over the world. The styles in this theme group look accordingly. Things are getting casual: 5-pockets in different varieties take on a more rustic look with the addition of leather details and checked lining. Generally, checks as well as vintage looks are the predominant features. They characterize dyed denims, authentic washed color denims, washed corduroy varieties and flats.
A new, indigo-dyed denim corduroy and bull twills are treated like denims and washed off, which gives them baffles and used effects. These emphasize the grainy look and are reminiscent of Canada’s lumberjack romanticism, just like the cross twill, a sturdy gabardine with a conspicuous fishnet structure. The colors are earthy and warm, ranging from curry to leather, and espresso through to garnet.
Canadian Air Force at Canada’s Goose Bay
This is Canada, too – Goose Bay is known for its air force base. Freezing cold, a wild and romantic coastal landscape and the infinite expansiveness of the province of Labrador characterize this theme.
Army elements decorate cargos such as Brian and worker styles, such as Rob. Fashionable chinos with slanted pocket mouths – Benjamin, for instance – take on a cool and modern look thanks to such new details as brace buttons.
Cargos, worker styles and chinos reflect the military influence. Some of them are made with coated materials as well as heavy cotton fabrics which obtain an especially grainy look in canvas styles.
Premium chinos come in two-ply steep twill and denims are coated; these transparent elements and the extra compact weave achieve a very special, matt shine.
A particularly tightly woven gabardine has a strikingly sportive look and offers the utmost wearing comfort. Brown dyed denim is available in addition to black-black denim and blue-black denim.
A special highlight is the nonstretched broken twill denim whose 3D baffles make it even more authentic. It comes in very dark and exquisite washes in a vintage look. A rustic herringbone stretch will be available in the typical air force colors. In line with the theme, the colors range from khaki to brown and olive, and through to stone grey and marine.
