Heritage Research

Heritage Research’s attention to historical authenticities is surely unparalleled in the design world. Every piece has a pre-considered origin or influence, be it the flight jackets worn by pilots in World War 2 or pieces from the wardrobe of a Vietnamese soldier. At the moment it’s John F. Kennedy and his habitual trips to Nantucket Sound and Cape Cod for hunting and sailing, for which he wore attire inspired by his cabinet of former Ivy League members. JFK was the first US President of the 20^th century and his relaxed yet sophisticated style reflected the new age. On the other hand, Heritage Research also take heed from Colorado mountain man, John Johnson of the 19^th century, whose dangerous and barbaric exploits seem to contrast with the civility of Kennedy’s more trivial pursuits. But for Heritage Research, both figures share a style that is led by functionality and necessity and such pieces are what they have recreated, albeit with a contemporary edge. Furthermore, every H R garment is handmade in England to ensure quality and individuality are always maintained. Kiosk 78 are proud to be one of a handful of stockists chosen to carry Heritage Research.
