Men winter parka

With this parka, winter can come, because thanks to its thoughtful design, it defies cold, wind and weather. Thus, above the two-way zipper is a wide, wind-resistant trim with concealed snaps, elastics inside the cuffs also keep the wind out there. The detachable hood is worked with a drawstring. The parka is cross-stitched on the inside so that the warming filling stays permanently in place. The two front pockets are equipped with water-repellent zippers, and there is also a safety pocket with zipper in the sleeve. Inside, the parka is crafted with an interior zippered pocket and two stacked slip pockets. The grippy outer fabric, the voluminous filling and the smooth lining are made entirely of recycled polyester, which makes the parka a warming lightweight.

The Spaniard Javier Goyeneche has found a personal way to counter the waste of raw materials in our throwaway society – with creative ideas. In 2012, his label started producing fashion from recycled fibres. Then he initiated the revolutionary Ecoalf Ocean Project: More than 3,000 fishermen along the Spanish coast enlisted to help recover plastic waste from the sea. Goyeneche has the residues transformed into high-quality yarns for clothes, shoes and accessories. A similar project started in Thailand in 2017. Recycling all-natural textile fibres, namely cotton and wool, is another objective on Ecoalfs to-do list. Finally, the label mastered the challenge of finding new uses for old car tyres.
