This waxed canvas anorak is made in Eldorado, Australia from Australian made materials, by an exeptionally talented Australian name Leigh who has overbuilt what is hands-down the best anorak anywhere.
We were able to pick up a few of the Anorak Type 1’s that were never able to find forever homes. These bad boys were too good for us to pass on. Grab one now and know that this anorak will redefine your understanding of heirloom quality clothing.
It is designed for maximum versatility, durability, simplicity and freedom of movement. Side zips run the full length of each side, allowing the anorak to be opened up to vent, make a poncho, cape or a ground sheet. Kangaroo leather is placed on the sleeve cuff and hand pocket edges to protect these high wear areas.
This anorak is made from waxed cotton canvas, brass YKK zippers and tagua nut slot buttons. No plastics or fluorocarbons are used in the production of any Peak Oil products.
The anorak can be treated for water repellency with any beeswax based fabric wax. We recommend waxing the anorak once a year, allowing the wax to thin as the season progresses into warmer and drier months. Re-wax it in time for the next wet season.
Leigh is trying to shift the current paradigm of consumerism in the clothing industry and his brand is a testament to that. He sources as locally as possible, constructs his products with purpose, and lives what he preaches.
