Parka, made in London, with heavy weatherproof cotton from Scotland, horn buttons from the Midlands, and a sand-cast brass buckle, likewise from the Midlands. The parka fits true to size — but heed the fact that this is a big, commanding coat, which is intended to envelope all it surveys. Thus, if you prefer a snugger fit, then go down a size. This is cotton, but with elements like the sleeve-lining and the press-studs which are not. As such, it is best washed by hand in lukewarm water, or dry cleaned. If a machine must be used, a cold wash and no tumble-drying is the only option.
