I honestly have no idea why I don’t have more Battenwear in my life. They’re like that one girl in high school who was pretty, smart, and funny, but who was also always doing her own thing and never showed up to any of the lame keggers. These 24 oz melton wool Promenade Parkas are made in NYC and have a roomy body for layering, perfectly placed hand-warmer pockets, a hella classy button front, and come in two great colors. I never worked up the nerve to talk to that girl, but I’m not going to make the same mistake twice and let these jackets pass me by. Especially now that they’re 30% off at NAQP.
