London Fog is a leading American manufacturer of coats and other apparel. The company was founded in 1923 as the Londontown clothing company by Israel Myers.
During World War II, the company was known for making waterproof clothing for the United States Navy. Following the war, the company partnered with DuPont to make material for use in raincoats. These coats, which were the first to have a patented removable liner, were sold in Philadelphia, where they became very popular (source of information: Wikipedia).
London Fog has become known for quality stitching and lining for raincoats and trench-coats.
This 'utilitarianism-oriented' fashion-clothing company can arguably be compared to Gap Kids and Ray-Ban for its mixing of consumerism and functionalism.
When we think of commerce and lifestyle 'mixing,' we think of the 'metaphysical impact' of 'consumerism culture,' which is why we celebrate lifestyle-mysticism films such as Pretty Woman and Robots.
To coordinate capitalism/consumerism with political philosophy (which is not easy to do, since many equate capitalism/consumerism with basic 'convenience/profiteerism consciousness'), we have to find ways to place companies within the framework of 'democracy lifestyle' (i.e., Toys).
