Maybe I should be embarrassed to admit it, but I’ve just now stumbled onto Chevingon Clothing.

The French company has been around since 1979, and in the United States for about 19 of those 30 years.  Best known for their unique interpretations of American retro style, the brand was started with a take on the the “fights”, the bomber jacket worn by US Air Force pilots in the 1950s.  The inspiration of the entire brand is “The American Dream”, and you can clearly see how it’s communicated in every collection they’ve put out.

The look is something right off the backs of Josh Hartnett and Ben Affleck from the movie “Pearl Harbor”.  I love the current line, and wish it was more readily available here in the US.  The short cut of the outerwear pieces looks great on top of their neutral sweaters – and their merchandising with the hats really gives the line a fashion-forward street feel.
