Woolrich Japan - Light Arctic Parka

Woolrich Japan redefines the classic 60/40 fabric, once known for its rugged mountain-parka durability, into something softer, lighter, and made to move. Their updated version combines modern stretch and a refined hand feel while keeping the casual character that made the original iconic.

The design is clean and compact, trimmed down to stay light without losing functionality. Along the hood runs a slim tube of down, offering a snug, insulated fit when pulled tight. At the neckline sits the signature “pignose” toggle, reimagined in a sheep-shaped piece of natural, vegetable-tanned leather that develops a rich patina over time.

The fabric itself is a stretch nylon taffeta, built for comfort and mobility. Warp yarns use 70-denier nylon for structure and a crisp surface, while the weft blends nylon and polyurethane for smooth stretch and a soft touch. A subtle vintage finish adds natural creasing and a slight sheen, giving the material a quietly elegant look.

The result is a refined shell that blends everyday ease, technical performance, and understated luxury, a contemporary take on the legendary 60/40 cloth perfected with Japanese precision.
