K-Way Jackets

K-Way Jackets – How To Choose Your Style

In today’s climate, dealing with surprise showers is a year-round issue. As a result, choosing a great piece of outerwear is absolutely vital when it comes to protecting yourself from the elements. If you want the lo-down on how to choose the best jacket for year-round wear then look no further than this handy guide…


 Waterproof Jackets

Picking The Best Jacket For YouK-Way x Comme Des Garcons Jacket

Waterproof jackets are a hot commodity in today’s world. Following the recent gorp-core movement there has been an overwhelming influx of new styles arriving on online stores and retailers across the globe, so it can be a bit tricky narrowing down the right jacket for your day-to-day life. The easiest way to guarantee you’re making the best choice is to look out for the following three key features:

1. Is it actually waterproof? – Does the jacket you’re potentially going to buy arrive with a nylon or polyester construction, with taped seams and a variety of adjustable features to keep you dry.

2. How warm do you need it to be? – It’s all well and good grabbing a new jacket, but if rain is the only element it protects you from then its still not going to be ideal for everyday wear. Think about the weight and warmth it needs to be, and consider whether you may opt to layer other garments underneath, such as a hoodie or gilet.

3. Is it versatile? – Ideally you want a jacket with the ability to adapt as you traverse different surroundings and environments. Bonus points for adjustable draw-cords, handy pockets, pack-ability and more.


 KWAY Jackets

Looking To The Brand That Does It Best

K-Way Jackets

Back in 1965, a man named Leon Claude Duhamel observed the streets of Paris as passers-by struggled to cope with wind and rain under their raincoats and umbrella’s. Even worse though, was the conundrum of what to do with the wet coat or umbrella once the weather had dried up.

His solution? A lightweight waterproof jacket that folds into itself for easy carry. The result? K-Way.

Problem solved right? Just head over to our K-Way category and just grab any jacket you like a look of… Well, not quite. While you cant go wrong with any K-Way piece, you really want to narrow down to the exact type of jacket that will cover all bases in your everyday life. K-Way produce three main styles, the Le-Vrai, Le-Vrai Warm and Le-Vrai Heavy. Lets have a look t all three and find the perfect style for your lifestyle.


  K-Way Le Vrai 3.0 Claude Jacket

The Light One…

KWay Le vrai Light Jacket

The original style, this jacket is ultra-lightweight with a durable nylon construction. It is unlined and features taped seams, an elasticated cuff and adjustable hood and hemline. Two zipped pockets make an appearance on the garments body to offer on the go storage. Storage too, for the jacket as it packs into its own bag on the left-hand side.


 K-Way Le Vrai 3.0 Claude Warm Jacket

The Mid-weight One…KWay Le Vrai Warm Jacket

Still fairly lightweight in comparison to most jackets, but what it lacks in weight it certainly delivers in warmth thanks to its padded down fill. This jacket is ideal for those who prefer a warmer outerwear piece, with the ability to layer underneath it in the colder Winter seasons. Like the two other jackets in this list, it packs into itself for easy transport.


 K-Way Le Vrai 3.0 Claude Heavy Jacket

The Big One…

KWay Le Vrai Heavy Jacket

This is the jacket that you look to when you want to be toasty. All of the time. And it’s still made using waterproof materials and boasts a voluminous down fill. Now you might be thinking that this style mightn’t be able to pack into itself given its size, but you’d be wrong. Granted, it packs up a little larger than most but that’s to be expected, plus for the travellers out there, its packed size is about the shape of a camping pillow so its a two-for-one. Win-win.


 Choosing The Perfect Outerwear Piece

Look To A K-Way Jacket

In the end, the choice of the perfect jacket or coat comes down to your individual needs and preferences. Whether you prioritize lightweight portability, added warmth, or all-encompassing comfort, K-Way has an option for you. So, next time you’re bracing for unexpected showers or chilly temperatures, you can do so with confidence, armed with the knowledge of how to choose the best jacket for year-round wear and a brand that excels in delivering reliable and stylish outerwear options. Stay dry, stay warm, and stay stylish with K-Way at Aphrodite.

Sandbanks Banner

Aphrodite Introducing: Sandbanks


Sandbanks: Where Luxury Meets Sustainability

In an era where fashion often overlooks its environmental footprint, Sandbanks Clothing emerges as a shining example of luxury with a conscience. This fashion brand is not just about looking good; it’s about making a meaningful impact on our planet. Sandbanks is all about prioritising sustainability and taking responsibility for the environment.

Sandbanks Latest


What Are Sandbanks All About?

Luxury, Sustainability, and Regeneration

Sandbanks is a luxury fashion brand that places sustainability at the heart of its mission. Their products are crafted from recycled and regenerated materials, specifically sourced from post-consumer plastic waste found in the oceans and landfills. By giving new life to discarded materials, Sandbanks not only creates exquisite fashion but also contributes to reducing the environmental burden.

Sandbanks Gilet

What sets Sandbanks apart is its commitment to the environment. They collaborate with partners who offer access to premium sustainable and technical fabrics and components. Moreover, each product is meticulously designed with longevity in mind. This ensures that every piece stands the test of time, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimising waste. With this emphasis on sustainable, ecologically-minded practises, the Sandbanks purchase you choose to make at Aphrodite – be it a soft cotton Sandbanks T-Shirt, a versatile pique Sandbanks Polo Shirt or an Autumn/Winter-ready Sandbanks Gilet – becomes more than just a fleeting, trend-oriented cop; its an investment for the future of both your wardrobe and of our planet.


What Makes Sandbanks So Eco-Friendly?

Carbon-Neutral and Climate-Positive

Sandbanks goes the extra mile by being a carbon-neutral and climate-positive brand. At each stage of a garment’s journey, from design to the hands of the customer, they offset their carbon emissions. This demonstrates their unwavering dedication to making a positive impact on the environment.

Sandbanks T-Shirt

Additionally, Sandbanks embraces a zero real fur and down policy. By opting for eco-friendly alternatives, they contribute to saving countless animals from exploitation. It’s a commitment to ethics and sustainability that resonates with those who value both style and conscience.


What Do Sandbanks Stand For?

Battling the Culture of Excess

Sandbanks’ ethos is rooted in addressing the excessive consumption culture that prevails in today’s society. This culture has, unfortunately, contributed to severe consequences for our planet. The unrelenting desire for more has given rise to a culture that exacerbates prevalent climate issues, including the plastic epidemic, rising carbon emissions, and unsustainable fashion practices.

Sandbanks Long Sleeve Polo Shirt

The plastic pollution crisis is a pressing concern, with a staggering amount of plastic waste never making it into recycling facilities. This not only pollutes our environment but also endangers marine life, disrupting ecosystems and contaminating our food chain with toxic microplastics.

Sandbanks Polo Shirt

Fashion consumption has surged, resulting in a shocking amount of clothing ending up in landfills each year. The traditional luxury fashion industry’s use of real fur and down has also faced scrutiny. Many are questioning the necessity of these materials when eco-friendly alternatives can prevent the exploitation of millions of animals.

It’s increasingly evident that sustainable, responsible, and ethical options are not just desirable but essential to combat these pressing issues and safeguard our planet’s future.


Who Is Wearing Sandbanks?

A Celebrity-Backed Movement

Sandbanks has garnered a loyal following, including sporting figures like Jamie Carragher, Gary Neville and Jamie Redknapp, who acted as a brand ambassador for the business since its emergence. Such prominent figures recognise the significance of aligning with a brand that combines luxury with sustainability, setting an example for fashion enthusiasts and the industry as a whole.


Why Choose Sandbanks?

Sandbanks Clothing is more than a fashion brand; it’s a statement of values. By choosing Sandbanks, you’re not just embracing style; you’re contributing to a brighter and more sustainable future for our planet. It’s a brand where luxury and sustainability coexist harmoniously, where each purchase is a step towards making a positive impact.

Carhartt WIP Detroit Jacket: Street Style Meets Workwear


The Carhartt WIP Detroit Jacket: Timeless Heritage and Design

When it comes to workwear that seamlessly merges durability and design, the Carhartt WIP Detroit Jacket stands as an enduring testament to both practicality and style. With a rich history dating back decades, this iconic jacket has firmly established its place in the realm of utilitarian fashion. Here, we’ll delve into the history, style credentials, and details that make the Carhartt Detroit Jacket a timeless wardrobe staple. 


What Is The History of The Carhartt WIP Detroit Jacket?

The Carhartt Detroit Jacket made its debut in the 1930s, during a time when functional workwear was paramount. Founded by Hamilton Carhartt in 1889, Carhartt was initially known for producing rugged overalls. However, recognising the need for a versatile and sturdy jacket that could withstand the demands of the working class, the Detroit Jacket was born. Its inception aligned perfectly with the era’s emphasis on durability, reliability, and practicality. 

Style Credentials: The Popularity of the Detroit Jacket Explained

While the Carhartt WIP Detroit Jacket was designed with utility in mind, its understated style soon garnered attention beyond the work site. The jacket’s simple and timeless design features a sturdy two-way zip-front closure, a corduroy collar, and a boxy fit that flatters various body types. The minimalist yet rugged aesthetics of the jacket have made it a fashion staple beyond the blue-collar domain. 

Carhartt WIP Detroit Jacket Side By Side

The Carhartt Detroit is a master of utilitarian design which has grown to transcend fashion boundaries.

Fabric and Construction: What Makes The Carhartt WIP Detroit Worth The Investment?

The Detroit Jacket’s enduring appeal lies not only in its design but also in its construction. Crafted from Carhartt’s signature heavy-duty cotton duck canvas, the jacket is built to withstand the harshest of conditions. The fabric’s robust nature not only offers exceptional durability but also improves with age, developing a unique patina that tells the wearer’s story. Reinforced stitching, triple-stitched main seams, and sturdy hardware contribute to its exceptional longevity. 

Carhartt WIP Detroit Lining Detail

The finer details, such as the seasonal lining, rugged fabrication and storage options make the Detroit a wardrobe staple.

Functional Versatility: The Standout Details of the Detroit Jacket 

One of the defining characteristics of the Carhartt WIP Detroit Jacket is its attention to functional details. The array of pockets – including roomy front patch pockets and an interior pocket – provides ample storage space for tools, personal items, or even a smartphone. The jacket’s bi-swing back design ensures unrestricted movement, a crucial feature for those engaged in physically demanding tasks. 

Carhartt WIP Detroit Front/Chest

With its two-way zip closure, the Detroit is as adaptable to your style as any high-end luxury piece.


Decades after its introduction, the Carhartt WIP Detroit Jacket continues to evolve while staying true to its origins. While the classic ‘Hamilton’ brown colour remains a signature, the jacket is now available in a range of hues to suit modern preferences. Moreover, it has transcended its utilitarian roots to become a symbol of authenticity and rugged style embraced by fashion enthusiasts, outdoor adventurers, and urban trendsetters alike. 

The Carhartt Detroit Jacket’s journey from functional workwear to iconic fashion statement is a testament to its enduring appeal and impeccable craftsmanship. Rooted in history, this jacket effortlessly blends style with practicality, making it a wardrobe staple that stands the test of time. As trends come and go, the Detroit Jacket remains a reliable companion for those who value both substance and style in their clothing choices.
