Outlier-Anorak
Outlier’s back with another good piece to offer. This time, the performance fashion brand presents to us their modern take to the simple pullover windbreaker – The Anorak – that took an evolutionary leap by experimenting with the magnetic adjustable front piece.

The Anorak uses a pullover construction with two way zippered side vents for superior ventilation. The adjustable magnetic front piece lets you protect your neck in style. An articulated sleeve construction (a modified version of our pivot sleeve) allows for a full range of movement. A double sided kangaroo front pocket, rear zippered carry pocket and Lampo partial-front zip complete the picture.

The 3XDry Cotton Linen fabric has a sturdy hand feel that combines the soft touch of cotton with the crisp handle of linen. The 3XDry treatment moves moisture away from the body on the inside and repels water on the outside while always drying swiftly for optimal comfort.

I tell you, I love featuring coats but I hate the fact that I'm living in a tropical country. Another heartbreaker for me would be this one. From A/W 2010 collection, Burberry Brit introduces us this beautiful Fishtail Parka.

A timeless, iconic classic updated for AW10. The Fishtail Parka was first developed by the military in 1951 to protect soldiers from the elements and during the 1960's in the UK the fishtail parka became a symbol of the mod subculture. Due to their practicality, affordibility and availability from army surplus shops, the parka noted as the ideal garment for fending off the elements when on a scooter.

Coming in waxed cotton, the military epaulettes, the "Peat Brown" color and the fish tail itself makes it a good combo for an effortless getup. What you say? Get it here.
