London clothing brand — dry-waxed Fisherman cagoules and honest craft basics since the 2000s.
Best for British-made polos; Quality essentials, transparent; Fisherman, Coastal
Albam operates from two London locations: 111A Commercial Street in East London (Albam East) and 23 Beak Street in Soho (Albam West). The brand has become synonymous with British craft and understated design, best exemplified by their well-known Fisherman's Cagoule, first released in 2007. The cagoule is constructed from British dry-waxed cotton for water resistance and fastens with signature white buttons; it features a detachable hood, rear pocket, and distinctive large buttons. Due to limited production runs, sold-out cagoules often take hours to return when re-issued, and limited END collaborations produce only 150 pieces per color. The jacket has been much copied by mainstream brands like Topshop and French Connection, testament to its design influence on British fashion. Albam's broader offering focuses on craft basics and transparency in production, emphasizing quality materials and thoughtful construction over fast fashion cycles.
