While the prospect of gearing up for winter may be the last thing on your mind in the middle of August, brands like Battenwear are here to remind you that winter will be coming around soon enough. They recently released their new super heavy duty 24oz. wool blend Promenade Parka in two earthy colorways so that you’re ready when the time comes.

Form and function come together in this piece, cut in a roomy fit for plenty of layering room with durable set-in sleeves and adjustable wrist closure buttons. It features an adjustable drawstring hood and two angled corduroy-lined hand warmer pockets as well as an additional two lower outer pockets. In typical parka fashion, it sits right about in the mid-thigh area because we all know that bit of extra coverage can make all the difference on those frost bitten nights.

Available for $548 at North American Quality Purveyors.
