A world-renowned outdoor brand has created a truly functional down jacket.

One trend you can't miss in the Fall/Winter 2019 season is the "serious commitment of outdoor brands." For example, while you certainly don't need something that can be worn in the harsh, cold environments of polar regions, the feeling of wearing the "real thing" is fantastic. The peace of mind that comes from knowing you can withstand extreme cold leads to greater freedom in coordinating outfits, making it the kind of world-class garment where "one piece is all you need."

CANADA GOOSE

This year, once again, this brand's signature, high-quality outerwear is difficult to obtain.

This is the "CHATEAU PARKA," the predecessor model to the "Jasper Parka," a model exclusive to Japan.
Developed in collaboration with a global team of experts, this garment features "Fusion Fit," a sizing system specifically designed to fit smaller body types. Its versatile design, suitable for both casual and formal occasions, boasts a clean silhouette that enjoys overwhelming global recognition. The simple design and length are also key reasons for its popularity. The coyote fur trim is detachable via a zipper.

In addition to the "Classic Disc" artistic program, this season will also see the introduction of the "Black Label," a high-end, exclusive line with limited production and high rarity value. This line features a "regular fit" and the coyote fur trim is removable with a zipper.

The brand's masterpiece is a high-spec product that can withstand extreme cold of -40 ℃.

The New Arctic Parka, now the most iconic model, is an updated version of the Arctic Parka that originated in the 1970s as workwear for laying natural gas pipelines in Alaska. It features a cotton-nylon blend known as 60/40 cloth, which combines an analog feel with functionality, and is treated with Teflon for enhanced water repellency. It is characterized by large patch pockets and hand warmers, details that evoke the outdoors.

Compared to other Arctique parka series, this one has a slightly shorter length, a more compact fit, and the fur trim is removable. Its popular features include thoughtful details such as the removal of ribbed cuffs, making it less restrictive when worn over a jacket. The brand logo has also been redesigned for this fall/winter model.
