Technical fabrics may be getting all the attention these days, but waxed cotton continues to hold its own as one of the original weather-fighting fabrics. Best Made's new parka combines the best of both worlds with an outer that is made from an 8 oz British Millerain and a Faribault wool blanket lining for warmth. You've also got Thinsulate thermal fill, double-needle stitching, a wool-lined hood, and antique brass hardware throughout the jacket.
