—01. Inspired by classic machinist shirts with buttons on elbow and sleeve tabs. 100% limited edition, pure indigo dyed Japanese cotton. Pre-washed for softness, we recommend machine wash cold and hang to dry.
—02. During WWII, Churchill had the British military develop a 100% cotton waterproof fabric to be used as firehoses because rubber was on ration. Known as Ventile, it's water-resistance made Ventile ideal for use in immersion flight suits for the RAF pilots who were getting shot down over the channel. Unlike synthetic fabrics such as Gore-Tex, our Spring Ventile Parka produces almost no noise when in use and, because it is 100% natural, it remains breathable while protecting against wind & rain.
