The jacket is constructed with a three-layer cotton twill fabric with GORE-TEX that is capable of easily shedding water and preventing wind from permeating to the wearer. The jacket is thus perfect for wear in [springtime or fall](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fjallraven-and-goretex) when temperatures are fairer, but the risk of showers is high. The nanamica × MONOCLE GORE-TEX Cruiser Jacket will be available on each of the brand's websites starting February 27, 2022 at a price point of £600. The jacket calls to mind the ECECS Jacket that was originally developed in the 1980s for the [US Army](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/relwen-combat-2in1-jacket).
