Finisterre x ArkAir Fleece

i was a bit unsure of ordering at first, i thought the black shell outer might be a bit flimsy, but when it came i was pleasantly surprised, its really robust almost like leather, its really warm and looks and feels like quality.

the last five or so years im trying to buy less but buy better quality, and this epitomises that mindset and how i want to spend my hard earned dough.

I loved the concept and the warmth and style but as a smallish woman (5'3, uk size 10, with a generous bosom) the XS was too tight to zip up and the S was too long in the body and sleeve and shapeless on the body. It really is shaped for men, unisex styling is tricky!

Brilliant old-school bomber. Got a hint of the downed-pilot-behind-enemy-lines look about it. Water beads nicely off the smooth side, wind doesn’t penetrate the woolly side.
