Terry hooded jacket men

This jacket, with a double processed hood, is extremely comfortable to wear and is especially well suited for the summer holidays; with warm weather there is nothing encumbering about it. The neck ring consists of a knitted, tricoloured band; the wide cuffs are doubled and made of terry cloth.

Terry cloth material is voluminous and soft; it warms thoroughly. It is also, as is the case with this particular fabric, air-permeable and comfortably climatizing, because the material – thanks to its surface increased by looped yarn – absorbs a lot of moisture. Characteristic of terry cloth is that it is produced with so-called fancy yarns; the yarn is twined numerous times. This yarn generates the loops typical of this material. In this way, the fuzzy, firm surface of the material arises. The designation "terry cloth" (Frotté) has French origins; "frotter" means "to rub(away)." This refers to the more common use of the material, for example, in hand towels and bathrobes.

Tellingly, “armor” is the Breton word for sea, and “lux” cannot mean anything else than the magic light at Brittany’s coast. In keeping with their brand’s name, Armor lux design many of their jumpers and shirts, dresses, trousers, hats, caps and scarves in a maritime style. The company, based in Quimper and founded by a Swiss at the end of the 1930s, combines simple, comfortable cuts, classic colours and uncompromising quality of materials and craft. The main production facility is still the company’s headquarter in France while, to a small extent, branches in Madagascar and Tunisia support the production. Armor lux processes organic-certified cotton for the selected textiles we present you here.
