Orkan Prestige

We set out to make a wax jacket from the very best of everything, whatever the price.. Yes it's a lot of money, but as a maker of luxury outerwear, it stands to reason that we should 'showcase' what the best can be. 99% of the time, even in a luxury market one has to be sensitive to price and so often it is necessary to make compromises somewhere.. But in our opinion this jacket really does contain the best of everything. It's a jacket for those who understand that high quality things cost money. Of course, we will always attract the keyboard warriors that accuse us of making a vulgar profit margin and they we are elitist. Neither are true. As artisans and people that care to do the best we can and not just be driven by profits, there is nothing wrong in offering the best.

To do this, we buy a 12oz 2 ply long staple waxed cotton from Halley Stevensons of Dundee, Scotland. Their yarn to make this waxed cotton is the best Egyptian Cotton. Most wax jacket are made in 60z or 8oz. This guy will never wear out!!!

For the lining we use the best outerwear cotton in the world. This comes from Ventile. A British fabric but actually woven in Swtizerland due to the complex machinery required. It's their L35 quality that you can read about on their website. A combination of the 12oz waxed cotton outer and the Ventile liner, make this a truly waterproof and breathable piece AND...all from natural materials.

We have gone further......Added to this is a button in/button out wool/alpace Loden bodywarmer. Loden for those of you that might not know, is amongst the best wool outerwaear fabirc in the world and it comes (at least the authentic stuff does) from Austria. We buy ours from Leichtfried of Austria. The properties of Loden are remarkable for the incredible warmth and water repellency. you can also buy this jacket without the button out lining mentioned here and it makes a difference of £250. If this is what you prefer just type minuslining in the discount code box and it will reduce the price accordingly.

The detachable hood is also lined in Loden for a warm, snug feel.

We make this jacket ourselves in our own workshops here in York UK.
