Chrome Cropped Down Puffer Jacket

A cropped metallic puffer made with 100% polyamide and a 90% white duck down fill, so the shine sits on top of insulation that genuinely performs in cold weather. Polyamide is the right shell for a finish like this: smooth, quiet against other layers, and resistant to the abrasion that would dull a metallic surface within a season. Cropped metallic outerwear is a statement piece, so it earns its place through use rather than sitting in a wardrobe.

The silver release paper outer adds softness and smoothness to the hand while lifting the overall appearance, giving a waxy, film-like texture with an eye-catching metallic lustre. Windproof and waterproof construction means the look does not come at the cost of everyday usefulness, so it handles rain, sleet and wind rather than needing to be protected from them.

Cropped and metallic is a combination that works best with simple layers underneath, letting the fabric carry the outfit. Store it hung with clearance on either side so the finish is not creased against neighbouring garments, spot clean marks with a damp cloth rather than washing the whole jacket, and if a wash is unavoidable use a down-safe detergent and dry it on low heat. Kept out of prolonged direct heat and sun, the finish stays bright rather than clouding over time.
