We explore the history of the functional menswear mainstay the Arctic Parka. From the Arctic Circle and Alaskan Oil workers to hip-hop heads and Raf Simons collectors, the highly coveted parka is the cherry on the outerwear pie. Join cultural archivists Samutaro and Too Hot Limited's Ollie Evans as we dive into the parka's origins, the reasons behind its popularity, and how its functionality has lead to its essential status in our closets over the decades.
