OILED WHIPCORD A2 DECK JACKET - BLACK

Description

An oiled version of our A2 deck jacket, designed to enhance water resistance. Due to the nature of whipcord and its resistance to absorption, the heavy oiling increases the fabric’s weight from our standard 12oz to approximately 14oz. For this season’s models, we’ve updated the oiling process in an effort to find a more eco-friendly method. Previously, we used fluorine in the process , a toxic chemical that poses serious environmental risks. Now, a fluorine-free coating replaces this hazardous substance with a double layer of oil. This achieves the same level of water repellency as before but results in a slightly waxier hand feel—making this the heftiest version of our A2 to date.

We do not recommend ironing or steaming the fabric, as excessive heat can damage the oil coating and cause discolouration.
