The Oblique Parka

 The Oblique Parka is an exploration of asymmetrical geometry and tactical utility. Designed as a high-coverage outer shell for the urban environment, this piece features a slanted zip-axis and an integrated high-neck hood system. The silhouette is sharp and aggressive, utilizing mid-weight technical fabric to provide wind resistance without the bulk of traditional outerwear. It is the definitive "Archive" piece for those navigating high-transit environments.

Technical Engineering

• Asymmetrical Closure: An oblique-set heavy-duty zipper system designed to create a clean, overlapping front panel for enhanced wind protection.
• Integrated Scuba Hood: A high-coverage hood architecture with an anatomical neck guard, providing a built-in mask effect and streamlined profile.
• Tactical Anchors: Precision-welded hardware and reinforced seam-work to ensure structural integrity under tension.
• Angular Hemline: An architectural cut that drops at the rear, providing extended coverage while maintaining a sharp, directional aesthetic.

Archive Maintenance

• Hardware Care: To protect the asymmetrical zip track, always zip the garment fully before washing.
• Thermal Safety: Never tumble dry. High heat can damage the synthetic fibers and cause the technical zippers to warp.
• Cleaning Protocol: Machine wash cold on a synthetic cycle. Use a mild detergent to preserve the matte black finish of the textile.
• Storage: Hang on a broad-shouldered hanger to maintain the "scuba" shape of the hood and neck assembly.

Sizing Architecture (UK Conversion)

The Oblique Parka features a "Slim-Tactical" fit. It is designed to be worn over a single base layer. If you intend to layer over heavy knits, we recommend sizing up.
