Lightweights.


Cagoule, anorak, parka, simply a hooded jacket. Call it what you will, but it's a favorite here at Secret Forts. While in the grips of an already seemingly interminable winter, it might be a good time to let your mind wander a bit. Towards Spring. Crisp mornings, cool evenings. April showers. And not a single mountain of dirty snow anywhere. You'll still need a jacket however, just not the down filled, blanket lined sleeping bag you've been trudging around in. Here, some new stand outs and some old perennial favorites.

problem with nyc is you only get to wear these kind of things for 2 weeks at each end of winter, then its back to baking hot summer. when i lived in the UK it was a different story these pieces are a mainstay there

Great collection. Have a little collection of my own. Just bought an amazing 60/40 Alpine Designs parka from the 70's. Heavy duty, well made classic design. But when it comes down to it, the old Sierra Designs are still the gold standard, down to all the small details.

Nice post on one of my guilty pleasures. Managed to convince myself I needed the Junya Watanabe parka and have already put it to use here in Brooklyn. Wearing a chunky cardigan underneath will see me through the final days of a hell of a winter.

Awesome collection. Which one is the two toned navy/baby blue piece about 3/4 of the way down?
