"Expedition" waxed Cotton Parka

Inspired by the parkas worn by the pioneers of mountaineering and explorers of the early 20th century, this parka, despite its vintage look, offers optimal protection against the elements thanks to its oiled cotton fabric manufactured by the Scottish company Halley Stevenson, specializing in the production of water-repellent fabrics since 1864.

Did you know that?

The concept of waxed cotton was originally developed in the early 15th century by sailors. Scottish North Sea herring fleets operating from east coast ports began treating flax sailcloth with fish oils and grease to waterproof their sails, keeping them light and efficient. Remnants of these sails were used as capes to withstand the high winds and sea spray, keeping the sailors warm and dry. These capes were the forerunner to the fisherman’s slicker.

Its padded lining, reinforced with microfiber fabric, will enhance its waterproof properties while providing excellent protection against the cold.

Note that, like all waxed fabrics, waterproofing will be maintained through necessary care.

- Waxed cotton fabric in dark olive green color by Halley Stevenson

- Quilted microfiber lining from British Millerain

- 1 interior pocket

- Self-tightening clips at the hood and waist

This item is made in Europe

Available from S to 3XL - runs rather small, please order one size larger than your usual size.
