Men jacket waxed

Here is a jacket for which the overused term functional clothing really does apply. The fabric and details have been selected purely for their functionality and the cut is designed in such a way that it does not restrict the body's natural movements. This starts with the outer fabric, a non-slip, paraffin-impregnated (and therefore moderately water-repellent yet flexible) cotton cloth. The sleeves are designed as raglan sleeves, which makes them more comfortable to wear and avoids an overlying shoulder seam that could allow moisture to penetrate more easily. The cotton body lining with polyester content is kind to the skin and robust at the same time, while the polyester and elastane sleeve lining makes it easy to put on and take off. The zippers and press studs are made of solid metal. The zipper is covered by a wind-repellent buttoned placket, while the storm flap in the collar, which is also buttoned, can be used to fasten the jacket up high if required. Two buttoned back slits ensure a good fit. Even the pockets are well thought out. There are two voluminous pockets with double buttoned flaps at the front. There are also two set-in breast pockets, also with double buttoned flaps. Two inside pockets with vertical access, one buttoned and one with a zipper, complete the jacket's storage space.

Empoli, near Florence, is home to Landi, a third-generation family business whose fashion brand’s name “l’impermeabile” means nothing other than trench coat in Italian. The name derives from the very coat that once helped the company and the entire town to textile fame. When movie stars such as Greta Garbo, Marilin Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart made the trench coat an iconic garment in the 1940s, the trend inspired Landi. They started producing trench coats in 1948 and expanded their carefully considered assortment of men’s and women’s coats. It is always classic cuts that Landi seizes and accomplishes to translate into the present. The company works according to the maxim: fashion is ... just the opposite of a passing fad. Rather, Landi understands fashion’s task entails delivering textile equipment that complements the personal style. The result is a clothing collection that is an organically grown part of fashion history and does not have to change every year.
