Mens Softshell Long Jacket

Effective protection against rain, wind and cold offers this softshell jacket. The outer fabric consists of about two-thirds organic cotton, the rest is recycled polyester. The smooth lining is made entirely of recycled polyester. Between the two lies a warming filling, also made of recycled polyester. The roomy, doubled hood protects the head from the rigors of the weather when needed. Over the two-way zipper is a wind-resistant panel with snaps, well-fitting knitted cuffs in the sleeve openings also keep the wind out there. Three zippered pockets are inserted at the front, the left of which is double inside and has a Velcro closure. In addition, there are four inside pockets, two of which are closed by means of a zipper and two with a snap fastener.

The owl in the logo of the Danish label Knowledge Cotton Apparel stands for wisdom and knowledge, two elements that are key to the company's history and brand philosophy. Back in 1969, Jørgen Mørup and his father founded a small textile company in the Danish town of Herning and already started to focus on the subject of sustainability. At the end of the 1980s, the two began making their garments from ecologically produced cotton, becoming Denmark's green pioneers, as it were. The next logical step in 2008 was the foundation of Knowledge Cotton Apparel, this time with son respectively grandson Mads as part of the team, a label that unites the company's heritage with a contemporary, sustainable corporate strategy. Today, Knowledge Cotton Apparel stands for casual, sporty menswear, usually made from GOTS-certified organic cotton or "Happy Sheep Wool". The label also works with recycled PET bottles, which it shreds, melts down and spins into yarn to make a durable, water-repellent fabric for jackets.
