DP Studio Pattern – Le 701 Parka with Raglan Effect Sleeves

This pared-down parka is of such a contemporary spirit that few will be able to resist! Gathers and rounded raglan-style sleeves create a slouchy feel making it comfortable to wear. There is a box pleat at the back, held in place by an elasticated band on the waist level. The elasticated effect can also be found on the cuffs, bringing out the volume of the sleeves. A closed collar with a collar stand and invisible buttoning created by a hidden buttoning tab reinforce the minimal spirit of the model and make it a modern-day wardrobe must.
