This time around, the brand offers the vintage outerwear silhouette -- continuing to launch exclusive seasonal pieces. The militaristic parka is one of the staple pieces made from the brand's signature Bat Head cotton cloth material. This gives it a lightweight feel but can sustain sprinkles of rain. It boasts a short length design and offered in a white and black contrast stitching or a light gray with chunky white buttons. Additional details include the oversized hood with adjustable sensibilities and deep pockets for more function. The 65/35 Mountain Parka is now available for preorder online at [UNITED ARROWS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/homemade-brand-ice-cream).
