The 30s, 40s and 50s were decades of smart wardrobes comprised of posh layers of collared shirts, knitwear, and woolen trousers that differed in only a minor manner from the high street fashions of the times. Within the alpine sports clubs of the day, classic skiing ensembles often included an oxford shirt with cuffed sleeves which conveyed skiing’s then leisurely nature and the handsome appearance of its well-to-do enthusiasts. It is in this spirit that Alps & Meters has designed the Touring Oxford.
The Alpine Hooded Vest is an insulated vest.
Exterior: Water repellent wool blend with 10k/10k membrane to shed snow and water. High collar can be turned up to provide additional wind protection to face and neck.
Interior: 800 fill power fully-traceable goose down provides exceptional insulating warmth.
Detachable hood design.
Double-entry water resistant utility pockets for easy access and dry storage.
High visibility emergency orange lining with reflective logo.
Full grain, water repellent leather shoulder panels and front pocket flaps provide long-lasting durability.
Backed by a lifetime warranty.
On-mountain trial: Put it to the test in the mountains for 100 days and return it with no questions asked if it does not meet your standards of quality, craftsmanship, or durability.
During the early 20th century, skiing became the infatuation of gentlemen intrigued by the wonderful novelty and sliding on snow. In its transition from an efficient mode of winter transportation to exciting new recreational activity, skiers of the era, beyond a pair of leather boots and wooden skis, took little time to modify their head-to-toe wardrobes for use on-mountain.

Honoring the pioneers and trailblazers who built the American ski industry in the West, Alps & Meters built a sturdy, hard-wearing version of the classic Touring Oxford crafted from rugged, water-repellent corduroy.
