When it gets colder, a thick jacket is worth its weight in gold. And who knows more about adverse winter conditions than the Inuit in Alaska and the peoples from the icy expanse of Siberia? This is exactly where the parka comes from. The extra thick, extra warm anorak is characterized by robust materials and a particularly soft inner lining. The same lining is attached to the inside of the wide hood, which distinguishes this garment from other anoraks. This is often supplemented by a supple collar made of synthetic fur, which also breaks up the biting wind. Tight cuffs ensure that the cold can't crawl up your sleeves so you will always be warm and cosy, even in rain, snow and storms. With a coat that’s made for arctic environments, you will come to no harm in European winter, cold spells and climate change or not.
Warm, practical, stylish: always a good choice
The parka has long been reserved for arctic expeditions, igloo dwellers and defenders of the polar bear. The timeless design has hardly changed over more than 150 years, because why change something that’s already perfect? In addition to its practical use as an autumn and winter coat, the design from the far north has also been a stylistic standard addition to many wardrobes for some time. The design skilfully combines a rough and robust exterior with a cozy, soft interior - which also makes this the ideal coat for all rock fans.
Live everyday life with the parka
With its simple design the parka fits different styles, whether for men or women. That’s why there’s a large selection of different styles of this winter classic in the EMP online shop. Typically voluminous models with the obligatory fur collar are offered by brands such as Urban Classics or Adidas, which are particularly well suited for everyday use and go well with loose streetwear.
Different models at EMP
If you like things a little more unusual, you can opt for the Gothicana model with buckles, which, like the coats from Khujo, combines robust and high-quality workmanship with creative asymmetrical cuts and applications such as buckle closures. The long jackets that RED by EMP and Black Premium by EMP offer are a little simpler and yet have a noble touch.
Gothicana Parka with many details
The coats of the world-famous cult brand Lonsdale London, which are particularly popular among skinheads and punk fans, are a bit rougher. Whatever your style, with the right parka you can turn up in the wind and cold weather and always be comfortably warm. The Inuit knew what they were doing!
