The Woolrich Arctic Parka
Turn the clock back over two decades to the early 1800s and you’d find Woolrich in its infancy, with its founder John Rich in gentler times, flogging socks to logging camps out the back of his mule cart. Fast-forward thirty years from then, and Rich was building America’s first woollen mill and before long, Woolrich becomes a household name not only in Pennsylvania but throughout the land.
Jump to the here and now and this trustworthy American label has elevated its status along with its woollens and fabrics with modern textures, dying processes and washes. After nearly two hundred years of trade, Woolrich is still loved by those with a passion for the great outdoors and those who simply appreciate exceptional quality.
Just in time for the those first few months of the year that are notoriously cold, Woolrich come through with its down-filled Arctic Parka. This coat fully embraces an outdoor lifestyle and combines legendary durability with modern technology.
The Woolrich Arctic Parka is weather-ready, constructed with a Teflon-coated outer shell that boasts water and wind-resistant qualities with a cosy, 1.9 oz. duck-down, 550 feather-filled padded lining. Fit for the Arctic this coat features everything you could ever want in a cold-season coat including ribbed storm cuffs, a full-length zip opening with a button-down storm flap, two large handwarmer pockets, two bellow pockets, a fur-lined hood and a branded woven patch at the throat tab to finish.
This parka will last you a lifetime, has plenty of room underneath for layering and is available in all the colours you could ever dream of. Available in our Leeds store and online now.
adidas Originals NMD Racer Primeknit
adidas Originals start 2018 on the front foot introducing a brand-new silhouette to the NMD family, the NMD Racer Primeknit. Without straying too far from the original design, the NMD Racer PK is a refreshing update to a style that has been tried and tested through various colourways with multiple collaborations to its name.
The NMD Racer PK has a futuristic, racing-inspired, streamlined appearance, with a sock-like fit featuring the innovative Primeknit fabric throughout the upper with neon bursts to the outsole, midsole and heel. Like past NMDs, the midsole is packed with Adidas’ innovative Boost technology, wrapping its way around the heel with the traditional heel plug unit slightly further back from where it usually sits.
Additional features include welded 3-Stripes to the side walls, the trademark NMD heel pull and an updated racing-style Quickstrike outsole with added traction for a tighter grip with every step. What’s most striking is the vibrant, fluorescent accents of neon yellow and bright pink to the outsole that creep up onto the midsole adding an energetic colour pop to a predominately black and white trainer.
The NMD Racer PK is complete with tonal laces, a flash of neon pink to the heel tab and a velvet-crafted overlay across the heel that brings a touch of class to a sportswear silhouette. The adidas Originals NMD Racer Primeknit is coming soon to The Hip Store.
