Getting Down: ISAORA FW11

Until recently, I'd never worn a down jacket. Why had no one told me it's like wearing a comforter outside? These ones by ISAORA are warm enough to make you get out of bed, pause Netflix, and say no to ordering food from the place that you can see from your building.

Beyond the comfort factor, they're very easy on the eye. Designers Ricky Hendry and Marc Daniels have come up with a way to color down without flattening all the goose fluff. Dipping the jackets in cold dye, after they've been assembled, gives a weathered effect where the liquid pools in nooks and creases, and it means they can get colors as out-there as the electric blue on the ignetic blue down jacket. 

Besides down, ISAORA has you covered with their "thermal program", which is as serious as it sounds. Inspired by mid-century military underwear, thermal pants and onesies come in the softest of soft merino wools. For Snuggy-level warmth, performance materials, and a vintage snowboarder feel, these can't be beat.
