Introducing the MA.STRUM Shape Memory Parka

The Shape Memory 3/4 Length Parka arrives as one of MA.STRUM's standout achievements of Fall/Winter 2012.

Produced from a silk-touch micro faille fabric, the parka broadens MA.STRUM's style palette, offering something that deftly side-steps an otherwise deeply technical, often extroverted range. In line with MA.STRUM's efforts to house all manner of modern-day tech, the garment has a special device pocket on the inner arm, sealed with a specially treated plastic to allow the wearer to operate their touch-screen device without removing it. Other key details include a luxurious beaver fur hood and exterior waist adjusters.
