The Military Hooded Parka Coat takes the shape of a field parka and builds it for real cold. The shell is a washed cotton broadcloth over a cotton-polyester construction, so it has the softened, slightly worn character of military surplus rather than the shine of a technical coat, and a cotton fill sits behind it doing the insulating.
It is a thick coat, around 1.2kg, with a hooded collar that blocks wind at the neck and a full-zip opening that closes it right down. The fit is slim rather than boxy, which is unusual in a parka and is what keeps it from looking shapeless over a jumper. A smooth polyester lining lets it slide on over knitwear, and fleece-knit detailing adds texture against the washed cotton.
Colours run through black, khaki and military green, across the full size range. It is a genuine autumn and winter coat rather than a transitional one, so expect it to be warm indoors. Hang it rather than folding it to keep the shape of the hood and shoulders, and follow the care label: washed cotton with a cotton fill is best cleaned professionally.
