Padded Lumberjacket
A rugged and versatile layer designed for lightweight warmth as the seasons change.
- Constructed with a soft Pima cotton shell
- Lined with super-compact insulation
- Insulation is made from recycled plastic bottles
Our Lumber range is high strength gear built for hard living. Hundreds of years after lumberjacks built modern America by hand, we’ve been taking their default uniform and using modern technology to build our own high strength versions. From jeans woven with fibres 15x stronger than steel, to thornproof jackets with somewhere to hold your axe.
Minimalist and hardwearing, the Padded Lumberjacket is built with advanced Japanese materials and super-compact insulation. The outside is engineered with a reinforced and insulated collar, triple chain stitching, and a highly technical Japanese weave called ‘typewriter’ which is strong and resilient thanks to its density, but also super lightweight and soft.
While the middle layer is made from sheets of super-compact and breathable synthetic insulation that we’ve anchored down with stitched bartacks to reduce weight and bulk. It makes the jacket a rugged and versatile layer designed for lightweight warmth as the seasons change.
Garbage Sweater
Built from old bulletproof vests and firefighter suits that were heading to the dump.
Technical Details
The other 30% is from bulletproof vests
The remaining 30% of the sweater is made from para-aramid. While it’s closely related to meta-aramid which is a semi-crystalline fibre, it’s spun using a different technique to create a highly crystalline fibre. This high crystallinity results in a material with incredible tensile strength. It’s 5x stronger than steel on a weight for weight basis. And it’s so tough that 8 layers of it can stop a bullet. Which is exactly why it’s used to build bulletproof vests.
As soft and comfortable as a regular sweater
While the Garbage Sweater is built with unconventional materials and experimental techniques, it’s not built to sit in a museum. It’s designed to be worn. It’s comfortable, warm, soft and sturdy. And both the inside and outside of the sweater feel like a rugged fleece.
