Combining innovative Italian craftsmanship with unique Japanese fabrics, Ten C offers a wide range of outerwear made with an exclusive 12oz OJJ (Original Japanese Jersey) fabric. This iconic fabric from Ten C, commonly called "OJJ", is made of high-density knitted nylon and polyester fibers. OJJ is wind resistant and water-repellent, while also featuring aging characteristics similar to denim, particularly due to the unique dyeing process. This involves dyeing both the fabric beforehand and the garment after assembly, applying high temperature pressure. Waterproofing is finally ensured by a final Teflon treatment, thus keeping you dry under all circumstances.

This treatment makes the material more compact and the result is a unique fabric that changes depending on the external temperatures. When wet, the material becomes very soft, but when dry, it becomes hard and rigid. This inherent rigidity softens with use to adapt to the body and movements, efficiently supporting your lifestyle habits.

The Core Down version includes the famous Liner typical of the M-51 inside. Often offered separately, it is integrated into the jacket here. Its nylon shell contains hypoallergenic goose down with responsible sourcing, dear to Ten C. It features an interior pocket with the parka reference and the brand's signature seal, hand-applied then sewn onto each piece as proof of quality control of the product.

Design-wise, the parka is probably the most iconic garment from Ten C. It was first used in 1951 by the U.S. military to protect against bad weather during the Korean War and subsequently became a cult garment, especially among British mods in the 1960s. Based on the original model, it features three drawstrings (hood, waist, and bottom of the jacket), a "Fishtail" finish in the lower back which can be shortened by two snap buttons inside the parka, as well as angled chest pockets with buttoned flaps.

The finished product reflects the unique craftsmanship of Ten C and the undeniable quality of the products it offers. A real highlight of this winter 2023, this piece inspires confidence and guarantees to accompany you for many more winters to come.
