Battenwear Men’s Travel Shell Parka Jacket in Navy X Khaki Color

When We Started Battenwear In 2011, It Was With The Intention Of Making Clothes We Had Always Dreamt Of Wearing But Hadn’T Yet Been Able To Find In Stores. For Example, We Love Vintage Outdoor Clothing And Have A Healthy Collection Of Old Parkas And Other Gear, But Find That The Fit Of Most Items Is Outdated, Making It Less Suitable (Aka Stylish) For Everyday City Wear. We Also Greatly Admire The More Recent Trends In Outdoor Gear, And The Technological Advancements That Have Been Made In The Field, But When Push Comes To Shove, Many Of The High Tech Fabrics And Sleek Designs Are Just Not Quite To Our Taste. Finally And Most Importantly, We Believe Love Is In The Details. We Want Smart, Well-Thought-Out Pockets, Stitching Details That Allow A Garment To Move With Its Wearer, And Flaps And Straps And Brims Designed To Keep A Body Comfortable And Protected From The Elements. The Relationship We Develop With A Garment Should Be Like A True Friendship, And It Should Only Get Better With Time.

The Travel Shell Parka Was The Very First Item We Made For Battenwear And It Stands For Everything We Set Out To Accomplish By Launching The Brand. It’S A Jacket That’S Perfect For Hiking But Also Stylish Enough To Wear To A Bar After The Hike (Which Means You Have One Less Jacket To Pack For Your Next Trip!). It Has Excellent Construction Details To Help Protect From The Weather And Allow For Greater Movement Of The Wearer. It Has Wonderful Pockets That Will Store All The Components You Need For Your Next Adventure. And It’S Made In A Fabric That Has A Prime Position In The Rich History Of Outdoor Clothing, Feels Great On, And Provides Excellent Wind- And Water- Resistance.

Fabric Note: This 65/35 Polycotton Is A Classic Mountain Parka Fabric. The Composition Lends A Natural Water Resistance: When The Fabric Begins To Get Wet From Rain And The Cotton Threads Begins To Swell, The Polyester Threads Woven In The Opposite Direction Prevent The Cotton From Continuing To Swell, Thus Encouraging Water To Bead Up And Drop Off. The Result Is A Level Of Water Resistance, And Just As Important, A Fabric That Will Dry More Quickly. However, Please Note That This Fabric Is Not Waterproof.
