The Car Coat

650 USD
Our car coat draws on heritage where it matters: made from Ventile® organic cotton twill with mechanical water-repellency and a fluoro-free finish, it combines protection with an elevated yet relaxed cut. The soft, slightly peachy fabric drapes well, finished with a half-lined interior, a hidden storm flap and adjustable cuffs.

Made from 100% organic cotton, fabric finished in Germany, cut and sewn in Portugal.
Dark Navy

Ventile® is a British WW2 product for natural weatherproofing: Densely woven from long staple cotton, the fabric swells when wet, creating natural insulation.

    How to take care of cotton jersey

    Cotton is the most used natural fabric worldwide. There are many types of cotton fabrics available and many uses for it. To be safe, we suggest you have a look at the care instructions for the specific item before washing. As a natural fiber, cotton is prone to shrinkage - the looser/more elastic the knit, the more potential shrinkage. At Asket we prewash all our clothing to eliminate shrinkage, but this is not always the case for cotton clothing. This is a general guide of how to care for cotton clothes, helping you make your garments look better and last longer.
