ESC Parka - Iron Grey

The design combines elements of a classic French cape with the contemporary features of outdoor rain jackets. The relaxed, oversized A-line silhouette is complemented by a fly-front fastening and wide side vents on the hem. The gentle textures of the taut, finest 100% organic cotton canvas give an air of sophistication and ethical integrity. The Iron Grey colour is a traditional Japanese mineral dyeing technique, which was meticulously carried out by skilled artisans at an innovative studio in Tokyo. The dyestuff is upcycled iron powder from the famed shipbuilding district in Hiroshima which evokes the authentic colour and texture of iron itself. The liner is crafted from a comfortable and premium 100% organic cotton typewriter textile from a renowned Japanese textile manufacturer. This iron powder dyeing is done by hand by dyeing artisans, so there is some unevenness in the colour. Due to the nature of the dye, changes in texture and colour fading due to friction will occur over time. The natural changes in colour and texture are to be enjoyed, similar to indigo-dyed denim garments. To keep the original colour and texture as long as possible and prevent the pigment from peeling off, please dry-clean the fabric inside out with a weak petroleum-based dry-cleaner and avoid tumbler-drying (hang-drying is recommended). Wear and store in dry conditions as prolonged exposure to moisture and high temperatures may cause discolouration, colour migration and odours.
