The El Camino: Radiall's Modern Tribute to the Iconic Drizzler
The Drizzler jacket, first introduced by McGregor in 1950s America, is a direct descendant of the British Barracuta G9 Harrington jacket. McGregor’s version, called the “Scottish Drizzler,” was named as a nod to its British origins and designed as a lightweight alternative to traditional outerwear. Featuring a stand-up collar, zip closure, and angled pockets, it became an instant classic for its functional, clean design. Originally conceived as weather-resistant outerwear for golfers, it quickly crossed over into mainstream fashion, embraced by Hollywood stars like James Dean and Elvis Presley. Over the decades, the Drizzler evolved, gaining popularity with subcultures from mods in the 1960s to punk and skateboarding communities. Its simple, versatile design has ensured its lasting presence in wardrobes across generations.

Radiall’s El Camino Zip Up Jacket offers a contemporary reimagining of the Drizzler. While staying true to the original’s lightweight, functional design, the El Camino introduces subtle modern updates. Made from 100% cotton in Radiall’s signature ombre check, the jacket offers a soft, breathable feel while adding a fresh twist to the classic look. The relaxed, boxy silhouette allows for easy layering, while the elasticated cuffs and hem ensure comfort and a secure fit. With these thoughtful adjustments, Radiall has crafted a piece that bridges the gap between the past and the present, offering the perfect blend of timeless design and modern functionality.


The name “El Camino,” meaning “the road” in Spanish, brings even more layers of meaning to the jacket. It evokes the open road, freedom, and adventure - symbols that are closely tied to car culture and California’s laid-back lifestyle. The name also alludes to the iconic El Camino car and the famous California highways that have long been associated with exploration and individuality. By choosing this name, Radiall taps into a sense of journey and rebellion, which perfectly complements the jacket’s West Coast-inspired design.


Radiall’s design for the El Camino also draws heavily from the energy and spirit of West Coast subcultures. The ombre check fabric subtly nods to the world of cars, skateboarding, and music - elements of California’s cultural fabric. The stand collar with chin strap provides practical protection from the wind, while the overall relaxed yet bold aesthetic captures the vibe of the region. With the El Camino, Radiall delivers a jacket that celebrates both the heritage of classic menswear and the dynamic, ever-evolving influences of contemporary subcultures.
