Arctic Parka Evolution Pack
The Evolution of an Icon
The Arctic Parka, a beloved and iconic garment cherished across generations, was originally crafted with a singular purpose: to keep the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System workers warm. Over the years, it has evolved while maintaining its true essence. Now, half a century later, we pay tribute to it with a fresh perspective, introducing five new interpretations that play with the lines and details that have made this model famous, bridging the gap between tradition and modernity.
The Arctic Parka has a deep connection to the great outdoors, providing warmth, comfort, and performance to outdoor enthusiasts, from work to recreational pursuits, proving to be the ideal companion for every adventure. In this new version, it embraces a more contemporary spirit suitable for city life, characterized by an urban and sophisticated style.
