Bench Fall Collection - Heritage Range

Fall is here! It's time to bring out those sweaters, hoodies and jackets. I went and checked out what Bench had in store for the fall season, and loved what I saw.

I've always been a big a fan of Bench stuff - nice fit, well made, great attention to details and cool looking! Not sure if you know, but Bench recently introduced the all new Heritage Range! I picked up two tops and both happens to be from the Heritage collection.

The Heritage Rage is a collection developed with vivid colours and exciting new fabrics! Through state of the art fabrics, the classical shapes of the funnelneck, zip through hoodie and the corporation logo hoodie were reinterpreted and brought to an all new level. The styles can be summarized as: minimalist, consistent and expressive. What an understatement!

The two items I picked up from the Heritage collection were the corporation logo hoodie and zip through hoodie - no surprise there, I'm a hoodie kind of guy : )

You can't go wrong with the corporation logo hoodie - it's a true classic. I like the minimalistic design with a hint of logo love. I love the small details: those colourful tips on the cords - an iconic element of the Bench Heritage Range. I went with the red - I just love that shade & it's perfect for fall : )

The other top was the zip through hoodie. It's simple and sophisticated at the same time. Again, the details! Love the tonal logo tapings along the zippers and the hood. I decided to go with the black - more practical.

Both the corporation logo & zip through hoodies are in nano fleece - a cozy feel and super comfy!

BENCH - My Fall Jacket

I recently went and checked out Bench Fall collection. I was specifically looking at getting a jacket. If you guys are looking for a great fall outerwear, Bench Canada is a great brand to check out. I'm a fan! They have lots of great, cool styles and high quality pieces for both men and ladies. Best part is that Bench can easily be worn in your everyday life!

I ended up going with the Black Scheme Zip Thru. I like the clean look, the fit, it was the right thickness plus it had a hood. I love a hood, keeps me extra cozy and stylish. It's perfect for the Fall season!

Some great details found on the jacket includes: Logo patch at the chest and tab at the back hem. Drawstrings at the hood and bungee cord adjustable hemline, both great to have to keep you a little warmer. The jacket is water repellent and has a pocket for your device!
