Outer shell : This jacket is made from 100% cotton twill fabric in an olive drab color. The fabric is densely woven, offering excellent durability while maintaining a soft and flexible texture.
Lining shell : The lining is crafted from 100% cupro satin, offering a smooth and glossy finish that minimizes friction with inner layers. This thoughtful design ensures comfortable, effortless sleeve movement when worn over other clothing.
Interlining (Type of insulation) : The jacket features a luxurious cupra satin lining with diamond-shaped quilting, filled generously with 90% down and 10% feathers. This ensures exceptional warmth and insulation, keeping you cozy in cold weather. The quilting design helps prevent the down from shifting or bunching, maintaining even coverage for consistent comfort. A perfect choice for reliable warmth and protection against the cold.
Hood type : This hood is designed for both warmth and practicality. It features a fixed, non-removable design with a drawstring for easy adjustment. The interior is lined with soft sheep fur, and the edges are also trimmed with sheep fur, offering extra warmth when worn. For added cold protection, a throat latch on the left side can be fastened to three buttons on the right, allowing for three different adjustment levels to keep your neck comfortably warm. When not in use, the throat latch can be neatly secured to a button near the top of the hood. Additionally, the hood comes with a buckle strap adjuster, enabling you to easily modify its height to ensure clear visibility in all conditions.
Types of garment closure (Placket type) : Zipper closure with storm flap protectors (wind flap protectors) located in front of zipper closure. The front features a vintage-inspired TALON zipper closure, with an additional buttoned storm flap that covers the zipper. This design not only prevents cold air from entering but also protects the zipper for added durability. The zipper slider is equipped with a horsehide leather tab, making it easier to open and close, even when wearing gloves. The buttons are made from Mil-Spec urea for enhanced durability.
Pockets construction and hand-warmer design : This jacket features four convenient pockets on the outer shell. Two large, vertically opening pockets with flap covers are positioned along the front zipper. The side-entry pocket openings are designed with a unique inverse welted structure where the welts overlap in reverse, making them easily accessible while keeping out dust and debris. Additionally, there are flap-covered pockets on the lower front of the jacket that open from the top. The inside of both types of pockets is lined with a soft brushed fabric for added comfort and warmth.
Cuff : Wool Ribbed Knit Cuffs. Designed to keep out cold winds and provide extra warmth.
Sleeve Style : Set-in sleeve.
