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 referred to as "OJJ", is made of high-density woven nylon and polyester fibers. OJJ is windproof and water-repellent, while offering aging characteristics similar to denim, thanks to a unique dyeing process. This process involves dyeing the fabric beforehand and also the garment once assembled, applying high temperature pressure. Finally, waterproofing is ensured by a final treatment with Teflon, thus guaranteeing to keep you dry under all circumstances.

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

The Cyclone Parka includes inside a series of buttons allowing the addition of the famous Liner typical of the M-51, offered separately by the manufacturer in numerous variations. To best meet needs and desires, the voluminous hood is accompanied by a high collar to effectively face the weather. The interior also contains a pocket with the parka's reference and the brand's signature seal, hand-applied then sewn onto each piece as proof of quality control.

Design-wise, the parka is probably the most iconic garment of Ten C. It was first used in 1951 by the U.S. military to protect against bad weather during the Korean War and later became a cult item, particularly among British mods in the 1960s. Based on the original model, it features 3 drawstrings (hood, waist, and bottom of the jacket), a "Fishtail" finish at the lower back which can be shortened with two snap buttons inside the parka. The two slanted piped side pockets are accompanied by a gusseted chest pocket secured by a buttoned flap.

The finished product reflects the unique craftsmanship of Ten C and the undeniable quality of the products it offers. This piece inspires confidence and guarantees to accompany you for many more winters to come.
