Staying warm during the damp, cold winter months usually means opting for an oversized outerwear style, but the F16 all-weather coat collection aims to change this. Created for men and women in collaboration between Mia Melon and One Man Outerwear, the F16 collection features jackets designed for performance, style and function.
Available for preorder on Indiegogo, the F16 collection features coats with an exterior made from at least 40% wool to help ensure warmth and quality. The outer layer is then treated with a membrane and DWR treatment to make them capable of keeping water and wind out.
The inherently slim and stylish design of the F16 all-weather coats makes them an exceptional option for travel, daily wear to the office and much more.
