Studio Nicholson has returned to the archive, drawing from the insulated silhouettes that came into prominence during the 1930s. The Hudson Puffer Jacket channels that era’s deliberate volume and generous quilting, yet cut with the precision and restraint that defines the label’s modern sensibility.
The jacket arrives in two considered tones: Glacier Blue, a luminous pale grey with cool undertones that catches the light as the puffy quilted panels shift, and Reed, a softer, more muted neutral. Both versions sit with a high, structured collar and a shortened length that skims the hip, moving away from the oversized proportions that have dominated recent winters. The quilting follows horizontal channels across the shoulders and torso, creating depth and visual rhythm without excess.
The Hudson Puffer Jacket releases next week, offering the kind of outerwear that works equally well layered over a crisp denim shirt or worn alone as a statement piece. Studio Nicholson’s approach to the puffer silhouette feels both historically grounded and thoroughly contemporary, a reminder that some of fashion’s most enduring shapes simply need refinement rather than reinvention.
