Story

A waxed canvas puffer that’s city slicker by day and cabin dweller by weekend

Introducing the York Vest—a lightly insulated, heritage puffer vest wrapped in a durable, water-resistant waxed canvas, specifically designed for city life. Made for everyday layering throughout changing seasons, this vest has the modern detailing and performance of your favorite puffer—like recycled Primaloft® Insulation and ripstop nylon lining—but with the durability of Halley Stevensons waxed canvas on the outside. With thoughtfully designed details like soft-brush moleskin inside the handwarmer pockets, its comfort is worthy of daily wear. For the guy who appreciates the benefits and rich history of waxed garments, consider this your entry point.

Materials

With 150+ years of expertise, Halley Stevensons is one of the world’s leading manufacturers and innovators in waxed cotton and weatherproof fabrics. Based at Baltic Works in Dundee, UK, all of their dyeing and finishing is done under one roof. The beauty of their waxed cotton is that it’s built to last and responsibly sourced with innovative low-impact manufacturing techniques. As a cotton fabric, it adjusts to ambient temperatures—becoming soft and more breathable in warm weather, and more windproof when the mercury drops.
