Woolrich Seam-Sealed Parka Black

A long black parka with sealed seams: tape is bonded over the stitching inside, so wind and rain cannot get in through the needle holes. Horizontal quilting, stitched channels that keep the down evenly spread, gives it a clean rhythm. The hood rises from a zipped collar and has a jacquard logo tape at the back, with the Woolrich name woven into the fabric.

A button placket covers the zip, two slanted chest pockets close with taped zips, which have a coated edge that helps keep water out, and two roomy bellows flap pockets sit lower down. Ribbed cuffs inside the sleeves keep the cold out.

Reaching from thigh to knee, it gives generous cover; the estimated comfort range is about −10 to +8 °C. The fit is regular and long, with room for a sweater; take your usual size. Wear it with black or dark denim, a grey hoodie and leather boots on wet winter days.
