Ten-C Core Parka Olive

The Core Parka is Ten C's take on the military parka, here in olive, the colour closest to its roots. A hood, a two-way zip under a snap-button storm placket and a clean, logo-free exterior give it a purposeful, timeless look.

Inside, a quilted inner layer padded with 100% duck down provides the warmth, while the outer blends polyester and polyamide. The two-way zip lets you open the hem when sitting or cycling, and a drawcord adjusts the fit at the waist. The lining is polyamide with a second lining in cotton, a combination that feels comfortable over a heavy knit. Ten C, the Italian brand founded in 2010, builds its outerwear in layers like this so that every part has a job to do.

Pair it with chunky knitwear and jeans; the shorter Cardinal Anorak offers the same construction in a lighter shape, and the parka also comes in pale taupe.
