Tigre Brocante yachtman parka

I’ll start by saying I don’t know an awful lot about the Japanese brand Tigre Brocante as I can’t find much in English on the internet about them. What I do know is I took an instant liking to this jacket as soon as I saw it and thought I’d feature it on here.

The jacket is constructed out of washed Cotton Duck, which gives it a lovely worn in and slightly crumpled look and also helps give the material a softer handle than if it were raw. Featuring a fixed, peaked hood with a high collar and two way zip fastening (with a six button placket for extra wind proofing) it’s been made with functionality in mind and just happens to look ace in the process.

The functionality of the jacket is further backed up with the reinforced elbow patches, capacious lower front bellows pockets (with room aplenty to keep hands warm on cold days), and a smaller bellows chest pocket, all of which are secured via button-down flaps. Other features include adjustable cuffs, plus leather detailing on the pocket stress points and toggles for the adjustable hood.

It’s available in three colours (sand, olive and navy) and that’s all I know about it really. You’ll probably need a proxy to get your hands on one, but if that’s not a problem it’s available from Japanese website Maps here: Tigre Brocante yachtman parka.
