Made from Armor Cloth fabric, this jacket is suitable for every season of the year. Armor Cloth is a very stiff yet robust waxed cotton fabric. Once used to protect the cargo of cars and trucks in the early 20th century, it was only a matter of time before it was also adopted for outdoor clothing. It is rugged, water-repellent and offers exceptional longevity. Be aware, however, that this fabric needs to be broken in! Once tamed, the fabric provides great comfort and rewards its owner with a fine patina over time.
