In store now we have the classic waterproof windbreaker from France K-WAY.  K-WAY was conceived in Paris in 1965 when Leon Claude Duhammel created a lightweight completely waterproof jacket that could be easily folded into a small hip bag and used to stop getting your clothes soaked when it's pouring with rain.   This practical jacket quickly caught on and people began using it rather than an umbrella.  It has maintained its popularity to this day and has succeeded by using cutting edge fabrics and maintaining the same classic look it began with. In store now we have the Claude Jacket which is a classic looking zip up windbreaker that is perfect for the Spring/Summer months.  We have it in five colourways Royal Blue, Yellow, Orange, Red and Forrest Green.  Available in store and online now !
