The 'Padded Short Parka' is as its name suggests, a shorter-fitting hooded parka with a multitude of pockets, that has been filled with Clo® Insulation. This particular iteration is produced in a beautiful 'space-dyed' nylon fabric, that is sourced from Kobe, Japan.
In David's own words, "this fabric is absolutely mental." Sourced from a revered fabric mill based in Kobe, Japan, the fabric is hand-processed in small batch quantities and then hand-dyed. Each roll of fabric is entirely different and consequently, because of the unique nature of the hand-dying processes, no two jackets are the same. The fabric has a distinctive, but almost subtle lustre to it, with a dry hand, feel and a slight 'crispness' to the touch. It is filled with Clo® Insulation, a British manufacturer of recycled insulation.
