Ten-C Core Parka Navy

The Core Parka is Ten C's take on the military fishtail parka, here in a deep navy. A generous hood, a zip front under a snap-button storm placket and flap pockets at the hip give it a clean, functional look without visible logos.

Warmth comes from an inner layer padded with 100% white duck down, under an outer of polyester and polyamide and a polyamide lining with a second lining in cotton. At the back the hem drops into the classic fishtail, with a drawcord to pull it in when the wind picks up. Ten C, the Italian brand founded in 2010, designs every detail to have a job: the placket keeps rain off the zip, and the flaps protect what is in your pockets.

Navy pairs with almost everything, from grey flannel to washed denim. For a lighter shade, see the Core Parka in pale taupe or the shorter Cardinal Anorak.
