The hardworking parka can be found in almost every shop on the high street, the majority of them have the magical ability to soak up any drop of water that you might come across. Carhartt have been creating parkas for as long as I can remember and this season is no exception, with both the Trapper and Anchorage styles being released in time for the prolonged British Winter.
The Trapper aims to take the title as the perfect parka. Using a 5.7oz poly/cotton coated, water repellent fabric outer as a base and a double lining with breathable nylon and full removable replica fur layers. Based on the traditional expedition parka, the Trapper has a storm flat fastening with 2-way zip and press studs, fully fleece lined pockets, waist and hip adjusters and the elbows are reinforced with durable Cordura fabric.
Similar in shape and look to the Trapper, the Anchorage Parka is a stripped back version, which features similar attributes but comes in a 100% nylon outer shell, has an added box pocket on the sleeve and will leave you with enough change to grab one of their wooly hats.
Carhartt Tapper and Anchorage Parka available at Ark here*.

looking SO cosy! I really like the colour and material of these coats
ReplyDeletethey're so good. and looking incredibly warm
ReplyDeleteSimple, but stylish. I like Carhartt, I wish we had a better offering in the states
ReplyDeleteHow clever to use a combination of poly/cotton to give a fabric that can stop absorbing water but without that obvious "this is a raincoat" look.
ReplyDeleteThese are quite smart! Something I'd like to have in my closet if I lived in the cold.
ReplyDeletethat looks so warmmmm!!!
ReplyDeleteI have a parka and, stupidly, it's just made from regular old cotton and as a result soaks up every drop of water. It sucks. I need to invest in a better one. This one looks great! xx
ReplyDeletepretty neat!! plus brains behind the material/design. not bad :)
