Behold this 3-Layered banger from the Big Apple

With New York fashion week fast approaching and technical outdoor apparel now fully acknowledged as being a more permanent/staple look rather than a fleeting trend, our eyes have been drawn to this three layered banger from the Big Apple. Made by our good mates at 18 East, the Cascade is an all-season, fully functional shell jacket that marks their most high performance piece to date and dare we say it one of their best too? Which is no mean feat when every single piece they’ve made so far has been excellent in my humble/expert opinion. Kitted out with hi-vis YKK Vislon Aquaguard zippers to the front and sleeves, zip closure hand warmer chest pockets, articulated hip and back cargo pockets for increased storage space, paracord zipper pulls and reflective 3M tracers this is the ultimate piece of kit for navigating urban environments such as it’s native New York. Whilst the hand carved wooden lotus bead puller at the centre front is textbook 18 East vibes as well as being a nice nod to the artisanal Indian craftmanship that went into this highly desirable jacket.
