Arpenteur Mission II Waterproof Gabardine Parka

Just in time to combat those inevitable April showers, the new Arpenteur Mission II Waterproof Gabardine Parka is here and ready to keep you dry. Nothing is worse than a piece of outerwear that looks the part but doesn’t perform — but don’t worry, this isn’t one of them.

Constructed in France, the outer shell of this jacket is a fully waterproof 100% cotton gabardine sail cloth that is ideal for all seasons. As mentioned above, it’ll keep you dry, which will inevitably help keep you warm, and you can bulk it up with more layers underneath when you need to. Or you can just rock it as just a shell over a t-shirt when those humid summer storms roll through.

The exterior features a single chest pocket and two front zip pockets, all sealed with exclusive Eclair zippers to keep your goodies secure and (you guessed it) dry. Leather tab adjustable drawstrings in the hood and waist will provide extra means of buckling down when the going gets tough, but really how tough can the going get when you’re looking this fly?

Available for $465 at Superdenim.
