Ventile Pilot Poncho
Weatherproof by nature crafted for life.
This poncho is woven from 100% Ventile®️ cotton, a densely constructed fabric originally developed in wartime Lancashire for RAF pilots’ immersion suits. Made from only the finest extra‑long staple cotton, Ventile®️ is tightly woven up to 15,000 threads per square inch creating a natural weather barrier.
Without chemical coatings, Ventile®️ fibers swell upon contact with moisture, sealing gaps in the weave to block rain and wind yet still allow breathability .
At approximately 200–300 g/m², the fabric has a rigid feel, offering drape and structure—softening and gaining warmth over time .
Flap pockets and zipper edges are left with raw, cut‑edge finishes—not only for aesthetic appeal but also to reveal the fabric’s natural resilience and aging process.
Hand‑crafted in Ehime Prefecture, each garment reflects a conversation between material integrity and human precision.
