Scope and content

Black belted anorak style casual jacket constructed from 50% PVC, 50% polyester, a resistant, waterproof fabric with a subtle sheen. It was designed at the time when Osti was experimenting with bonding PVC with various fabrics (predominantly cotton) to make it easier to stitch but retain its durable qualities. It features two slanted jetted pockets that fasten with zips and two zipped breast pockets that are concealed under the front storm flaps. The jacket closes with a central zip that runs from the standing collar and is secured with six poppers with a single popper at each pleated cuff. The belt is made in self fabric and is held in place with three belt loops on each side and a centre back channel It has a black plastic loop and fastens with velcro. The raglan sleeves, as well as the concealed ribbed inserts that sit at the back armhole and at the cuff all aid movement further. It has a detachable wool and nylon liner.
