Words

The clever name of the parka refers to the number of hands that worked on the design for this piece. As a welcoming in and a sending off, Mark McNairy and Daiki Suzuki worked together on this epic Woolen Mills piece to create a rather subtle and and refrained parka. Many designers take things over the top on their own, so I think the simplicity of the parka shows a certain respect for the Woolrich brand, as well as the good taste of the designers involved.

Placket and fasteners---too fussy.White drawstrings also.

This does not bode well.

It looks nice, probably warm too. It's always a hard task finding a really warm jacket that looks good too. This probably costs an arm and a leg plus half your bank account unfortunately.

An example of the old saying "too many cooks, spoil the broth". The Woolrich Artic Parka is a classic which requires no update. Many of us were even set aback with the fairly recent addition of the check logo to the throat tab.
