Some of the standout designs include the hooded jacket that is made with a diagonal military special wool and linen tela. It is also coated with resin on the interior to add waterproof elements. The hood includes a snap enclosure and cotton trimming as the rest of the jacket boasts slanted pockets and a standing chest pocket.
