"Pack It Up, Pack It In" Our New Packable Parka

Do you know the opening lines of that hip-hop anthem: “Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin.”? Well, the relevance here is that in our new F/W20 Packable Parka is also a banger. We designed this piece with an Integrated bag in the back, so you can literally "pack it up" and "pack it in” primed for that inevitable downpour.

As with all of our outerwear this season, we’ve made this piece in collaboration with Mackintosh at their factory here in England (read more about that here).

Mackintosh is one of England’s finest outerwear manufacturers and has been making all kinds of raincoats for all kinds of important people and brands since 1824. It’s a manufacturing brand that is unrivalled in its field, producing premium level outerwear to take on the most unruly weather… the kind that’s going on outside your window right now.

The 'Packable Parka' comes in navy, made up in a bonded shell cloth that’s waterproof, wind-resistant, crease-resistant and also breathable – which is so often an overlooked asset when creating refined yet functional all-weather gear. All of the seams are taped, which is Mackintosh’s speciality, and it has a fixed hood to look after you at all times, even when you’re least expecting a deluge. It also features corozo buttons sourced from the only remaining button-makers in the UK, Courtney & Co. As a final sign off, we’ve added a reflective drawcord sourced from Japan - this piece really has it all (in an understated way of course).

Our parka is designed with a roomy fit with deep pockets - so you can layer over our Puffer Vest, Bomber, Denim Jacket, and more. So you have something equally stylish to sport once safely inside and out of the rain.

So, ‘Pack it up, pack it in’, maybe stay in – the choice is yours, but know that our Packable Parka has you covered this rainy season.
