Does Smart Parka 1.0. has removable lining and length extension?
For Smart Parka 1.0. we decided to get rid of the length extension and lining. The reason was mostly aesthetic. We wanted our coats to have less moving parts and a solid look and presence. We found the length extension to be less appealing and most feedback was not positive. Removable lining, although a great idea, in theory, doesn’t change much of the practicality and makes the coat look subpar. In Smart Parka 1.0. we focused more on improving the quality of the features that actually make it a great coat, like gloves, scarf, fabric, water resistance and insulation.
What is the insulation in the coats?
For Smart Parka 1.0.
Smart Parka 1.0. has downline synthetic insulation. It will give you a feeling as if it’s a down coat. But it’s less warm than Smart Parka Select.
For Smart Parka 1.0. Select
Smart Parka 1.0. Select has 90/10 RDS (Responsible Down Standard) white duck down with 650 fill power. This quality of down is only used in high premium coats.

Do you use real fur on your coats?
We only use faux fur (synthetic fur) on our coats, as we firmly believe that real fur does not increase protection against cold and we do not support the killing of animals for simply decorative purposes. With that said, our faux fur on Smart Parka 1.0. is much bigger than the previous version and it’s pretty close to the look and feel of the real fur. It looks great!
Are all your coats animal free?
No. We use duck down and leather gloves with 100% Cashmere lining in Smart Parka 1.0. Select. Our Smart Parka 1.0. is 100% animal free.
Which colors are available in each style?
All our coats come in Black, Hunter Green, Galaxy Blue and Candy Red.
Is the Smart Parka machine washable?
No, our coats are dry clean only.

Center Back Length of Men’s Classic and Vogue is 36” for Large.
Center Back Length of Men’s Bomber is 29” for Large.
