Maru Sankaku Peke by SDA "All-Season" Anorak Parka (Orange)
Ready for ALL SEASONS!
This latest creation from MSP takes inspiration from vintage anorak jacket designs, remade for even better construction, premium materials and killer design!
This jacket is constructed with a 100% cotton, medium-weight military-style weapon twill. Slowly woven using vintage shuttle looms, this fabric has a smooth touch with a slight amount of irregular texture for that vintage vibe! The burnt orange colourway has been naturally over-dyed before being rinsed for that slightly lived-in look. With time, it will age to an even more soulful look!
Speaking of details this anorak features twin waist and chest pockets, so you will have plenty of storage space for your daily needs! The waist features a unique angular pocket flap design for a killer look! The oversized polished brown urea buttons on the pockets, sleeves and collar complement the orange colourway nicely. With button adjusters on the sleeve hems and drawstrings on the waist and hem, you can always achieve the perfect fit!
If you are looking for an anorak jacket for all-season wear, with a tasteful vintage look and colourway, MSP is the way to go!
