Canada Goose SS18 drops at Aphrodite

Canada Goose was our saviour in winter, with styles such as the Chilliwack, Hybridge and Chateau parka being bestsellers throughout the colder months with their insulating properties. The brand for premium outerwear has just dropped their SS18 collection, introducing a range of slimline bomber jackets and lightweight pieces which will be ideal for the unpredictable weather.

The Faber bomber jacket is a prime example of what Canada Goose stand for; premium outerwear which always looks impeccable. Presented in a distinctive sandstorm camo colour-way, it has to be said that after seasons of block coloured garments, you would look twice after seeing the Canada Goose badge. The Faber, which is also available to buy in black, is the lightweight version of the Chilliwack bomber jacket. A two-way zip decorates the front, covered with a storm flap to conceal the fastening for a sleeker look. The abstract print alone is set to make this jacket turn heads. Not only oozing contemporary style, the Faber is durable and wind resistant without the excess weight. Crafted from Dura-Force nylon fabric which gives the jacket these properties without making the garment too heavy during the warmer days. Pockets are featured on the hips, with a military-style pocket to the sleeve. Of course, the Canada Goose logo sits on the sleeve, pride of place for an iconic finish.

The Dunham jacket is a similar style to the Faber, but holds a slightly slimmer fit. The casual padded bomber in permafrost grey features a high neckline which is crafted from ribbed cotton, making it comfortable and ensuring a great fit around the neck. Elasticated panelling is subtly boasted across the middle of the sleeves for movement and detail, co-ordinating with the black cotton cuffs which also have a stretch ability. Contrasting quilted panelling throughout the jacket gives a flattering, modern look which boasts timeless style. Choose from either the permafrost grey or black colour-way in this style.

The Cabri hoody is the ideal piece to transition between the elements, this silhouette is hooded, with a slim fit and light down fill to the durable nylon shell. Offering strategically placed down baffles to lock in warmth where you need it most, the hoody also has ribbed accents to the cuffs and hem for extra fit and comfort. One feature that makes this jacket so practical is the interior straps, enabling the wearer to take off the jacket and carry it on their shoulders if needed. The Cabri is available to buy in marine blue and black.

If you’re on the look-out for a durable jacket to suit the transitional weather, check out our range of Canada Goose online now. Also available in our Sunderland store.

CP Company Air-Net Flock Printed Jacket | Available Now

Like fellow countrymen Stone Island, C.P. Company are no slouch when it comes to innovative and eye-catching textile treatments for their outerwear, and since their inception in 1975 have been a go-to for anyone looking to flex the pinnacle of military-inspired sportswear design.

For Spring Summer ’18, the brand have outdone themselves with a wild new fabric that combines a bold and unique aesthetic with the expected technical features that made their name: the Air-Net. Using the classic multi-filament Chrome nylon as a base, the fabric is then printed on the interior face with a three-dimensional honeycomb flock pattern, which serves the dual purpose of adding structure to the fabric, as well as creating an air pocket effect within the garment itself, capturing warm air to provide insulation to the wearer when worn with layers underneath. This also has the interesting side effect of absorbing colour during the garment dyeing process, leaving the pattern visible on the jacket’s external facing for a striking look.

The jacket itself is designed with modern looks and functionality in mind, boasting toggle adjustment tunnels to the hem, an anatomically shaped hood with two-way adjustment and stacked side pockets concealed by two-way zips which allows for easy access to essential items while keeping the lines of the piece sleek and clean. A utility pocket to the left sleeve finishes the piece, as well as housing the Lens Viewer device, giving a nod back to the brand’s iconic Mille Miglia Goggle jacket.

Patagonia H2No Guide

Patagonia are renowned for creating products that are tested to their limits and made to withstand some of the harshest conditions on Earth. One area in which they excel is waterproofing, they have designed the Patagonia H2No range of products that combine their expert skills at creating fabrics with a stunning level of design.

These Patagonia H2No fabrics are tested in not only the lab but the real world to see whether they are up to standard. The way they test the waterproof nature of the material is to simulate real-life conditions from light rain, to a heavy downpour and finally, forcing water through the face of the fabric itself.

Now it’s all well and good creating something waterproof but it must be durable. This is where the “Killer Wash” comes in, this is Patagonia’s way of putting the fabric through years of use in drenching conditions to see if it’s up to the task. Only once it passes these tests will it get the H2No status.

The H2No products come in three different categories, split into, 2-layer, 2.5 layer and 3 layer. What do they mean? Well here is an overview:

2-layer H2No®
– Waterproof
– Windproof
– Breathable
– A water-repellent shell fabric with a waterproof/breathable membrane.
– Internal Taffeta or mesh lining for durability and comfort.

An example of a Patagonia H2No 2-layer product is the Patagonia Insulated Torrentshell Jacket.

2.5-layer H2No®
– Waterproof
– Windproof
– Breathable
– Highly packable.
– Water-repellent fabric, waterproof/breathable membrane
– protective coating top coat to alleviate the need for internal fabric
– Raised print layer, decreased surface tension and increased moisture management.

An example of a Patagonia H2No 2.5-layer product is the Patagonia Torrentshell Jacket.

3-layer H2No®
– Waterproof
– Windproof
– Breathable
– Water-repellent fabric, waterproof/breathable membrane, ultralight knit backer.
– Highly packable
– Comfortable next-to-skin
– Can withstand long exposure to extreme environments

No matter which Patagonia H2No product you decide on, you can be assured of high quality and well tested products. We have a range of Patagonia clothing, from t-shirts to waterproof’s and accessories, shop the Patagonia collection at Aphrodite Clothing.

Stone Island Overhead Ice Jacket | Grid Camo Grey

As the seasons start to change, and a good jacket starts to become a necessity, you can always count on the maestros at Stone Island to deliver the goods. As part of their recent Grid Camo collection, they dropped this standout piece: the Overhead Ice Jacket. Right away we can see that white-on-black ‘Champagne’ Compass badge on the arm, telling us that we’re in for something special, and this jacket doesn’t disappoint.

Cut in a versatile overhead, half-zip design, the shell is constructed from a tightly-woven brushed cotton fabric, treated with Stone Island’s water-repellent membrane. When the temperature drops, however, is when the magic really happens: when it gets cold enough, a thermo-reactive all-over print displays that iconic Grid Camo design. It’s this kind of fabric wizardry that has earned Stone Island their cult status at the top of the outerwear game, and is sure to turn heads this winter.

On a more practical front, the jacket is fully lined with a soft thermal waffle fabric for exceptional warmth, while that high neck and ribbed cuffs are sure to keep the elements at bay.

As usual with the ‘Champagne’ pieces, numbers are very limited, so don’t hesitate if you want to snag this jacket for your collection. The Stone Island Ice Jacket is available from Aphrodite now.
