Oil Cloth Everest ParkaNigel Cabourn

Description

For AW14, Nigel Cabourn has returned to the heroic age of Antarctic exploration that has influenced a great deal of his work, celebrating artisan British craftsmanship with a selection of new designs and staple pieces constructed from hand selected and exclusively developed fabrics. A recreation of the coat worn by Sir Edmund Hillary on his Antarctic and Everest expeditions in a new guise for this season, it is constructed with a waterproof, washed oilcloth shell. The coat is stuffed by hand with the highest grade goose down, while the collar is backed with thick sheepskin and the hood is trimmed with genuine coyote fur. The parka is closed with a military-spec RiRi zip, covered with a storm flap, which fastens with real horn buttons. A truly uncompromising piece of outerwear, proudly manufactured in England.
