Some pieces care more significance than others, particularly when they represent the starting point of an entire brand. For Gander, that piece is the Peveril Jacket, the first design created by founder Calum and the garment that helped establish the label’s identity. For Autumn/Winter 2026, Gander returns to its roots with the Wool Peveril in Blue Check, presenting its most progressive and contemporary interpretation to date.
Named after the Peveril of the Peak, a well-known Manchester pub affectionately known as “the Pev”, the jacket pays tribute to the brand’s hometown and its origins. Gander applies its considered approach to product development, reworking silhouettes through new fabrics and material. This season, the focus falls on an expressive wool blend that gives the original Peveril a different character.
A New Fabric for a Familiar Silhouette
The Wool Peveril combines 70% wool, 22% nylon and 8% alpaca, combining selected Australian wool and fine, smooth alpaca. Nylon adds structure and durability, balancing the natural softness of the fibres with a more resilient construction. The blue check pattern combines deep blue and soft oatmeal tones, with interwoven shades and subtle flecks of colour creating a textured, slightly hazy appearance.
The jacket keeps its cropped boxy silhouette, complemented by a stand collar and custom button closure. Two gusset pockets sit alongside hand warmer pockets, while a toggle adjuster at the hem allows the wearer fo alter its shape and proportions.
Versatility remains central to the design, with the Wool Peveril intended to work across both dressed-up and more relaxed outfits. It reflects Gander’s belief that clothing should not be restricted to a particular category or occasion. By revisiting the piece that started everything through a new material, the label continues to develop its identity without losing sight of where it all began.
