Ventile Waterproof Anorak
Engineered by heritage - softened by time.
This anorak is crafted from Ventile®️ cotton—a densely woven, weather-resistant fabric originally developed in wartime England for RAF pilots. By pushing long-staple cotton yarns to their structural limit, Ventile achieves remarkable waterproofing and wind resistance without relying on synthetic coatings. It breathes, it protects and with each wear, it softens to match the shape and rhythm of your life.
Over time, the fabric reveals its character—becoming increasingly supple while retaining its strength and function.
Raw-cut details around the flap pocket and zipper lines add a vintage touch, while the metal buttons engraved with animal motifs—custom-made by Drei Berge—offer a quiet sense of playfulness. Finished with a vintage-style metallic zipper and weatherproof eyelets, this piece blends military logic with handcrafted subtlety.
Manufactured with care in Ehime, Japan, where precision sewing meets fabric integrity.
Designed by Ramdane Touhami.
