POST ARCHIVE FACTION adds to its Spring/Summer 2020 line up with the arrival of its captivating Down Reflective String Jacket. The outerwear silhouette is optioned in two colorways of either black or silver. The jacket is detailed with cinched in strings to create a visual of broken up sections against the puffy structure.
It is constructed in South Korea and the long sleeve piece is filled with polyester details at the exterior in addition to the head insulating down. The drawstrings boasts a look similar to bungee strings. Notably, these strings can be altered to create new looks to add a touch of personalization. Rounding out the jacket are a stowaway hood by the stand collar, elasticated hem and sleeves, and a zipper enclosure.
