Parkas

Contemporary designer parkas

A stylish designer parka should be part of anyone’s wardrobe – a real, versatile allrounder. Originally, parkas were worn in Alaska and Siberia, where it provided reliable protection against the extreme cold. Later it found its way into the military and youth cultures, before this laid-back jacket style developed into what it is today: it is no longer the purely functional and practical

anorak that it used to be, but a real fashion staple. Parkas by international designers are available in a large range of materials with different properties. Wool, and sometimes even cashmere, turn the relaxed short coat into a true luxury treat, while hard-wearing microfibre and cotton blends promise maximum performance. Innovative coatings ensure protection against wind, moisture and cold. In the winter, a parka with a filling made of light down or technically advanced microfibre padding will keep you warm.

The often detachable fur trim on the hood may sometimes even substitute for a scarf and hat. In the summer, light cotton and microfibre fabrics prevail, offering reliable protection against occasionally bad weather. Exclusive designer parkas are nowadays not only available in classic olive or navy – these modern jackets come in countless colours, patterns and textures. What they all have in common are the spacious pockets, providing lots of room for your belongings. Whether you decide for the classic

Woolrich Arctic Parka, for their more fitted style Polar Parka, or for a cashmere luxury model by Brunello Cucinelli, for classic elegance by Moorer or for a parka by iconic label Canada Goose: At Braun Hamburg, a large range of designer parkas is always available – the ideal complement for your urban casual look that can also work as a breach of style when combined with a suit.
