Piper De Luxe Waterproof Jacket

We use the finest fabric and trim we can find for this luxury product. We believe in publishing the source of our raw materials as you will see here below. We are proud to source the best. You will rarely find a fully waterproof quilted jacket in the market as they are quite complex to make.

This Jacket is totally waterproof using a fabulous fabric from Olmetex of Italy. It's also windproof and warm. The fabric is quilted to Primaloft Gold thermal insulation. You will be surprised how light this jacket is, yet at the same time keeping you warm and dry. The collar is a soft, supple french cowbelly leather as standard but if preferred, Austrian wool loden fabric can be used. The other tweed trim on this jacket it's from Lovat mill of Scotland,in our opinion the best tweed supplier in the world as they use only two ply Australian Merino wool. The leather trim is the finest French cowbelly leather from Pechdo Tanneries of France. We make the jacket in our own workshop here in York UK.

Here is why we use Primaloft Gold. PrimaLoft

Gold Insulation PrimaLoft Gold insulation is the best type of synthetic insulation out there. It was specifically designed for people who lead active lifestyles, even when the weather outside is horrendous. Therefore, its primary focus is retaining and providing warmth when you get wet.

PrimaLoft Gold insulation has a clo value of 0.92, which will provide you with the same amount of warmth as 500 or 550 fill-power down would.

PRIMALOFT® GOLD SERIES

THE BEST-OF-THE-BEST PRIMALOFT®GOLD INSULATION - 55% PCR

PRIMALOFT® GOLD INSULATION - 55% PCR BOASTS THE ULTIMATE IN WARMTH-TO-WEIGHT THERMAL EFFICIENCY WITH AN ENVIRONMENTAL CONSCIENCE. PrimaLoft's story begins in 1983, when the U.S. Army Research Laboratory approached Albany International Corp., which was PrimaLoft's parent company back then. The US Army wanted Albany International, a company that specialized in advanced material and textile processing, to create a synthetic alternative to goose down that could be used in sleeping bags and clothes. The main reason was that goose down was not waterproof, and didn't retain enough heat when it got wet. And getting wet was a problem the army had quite often!

PRIMALOFT® GOLD INSULATION The benchmark in performance of all synthetic insulations, PrimaLoft® Gold Insulation is the go-to choice for adventurers looking for protection in extreme conditions. Microfibers trap body heat to make this the most thermally-efficient synthetic insulation available, with water-repellency that insulates even in the wettest weather-maintaining 96% of warmth when wet. These unmatched thermal properties also feature breathability, packability and outstanding softness-consider this the pinnacle of insulation performance.
