A Grenfell Mountain Parka, estimated from the 1970s.
Grenfell is a quintessential British coat brand.
The fabric known as 'Grenfell Cloth' emerged from the development of garments engineered to withstand conditions in the Arctic Circle.
Grenfell Cloth is a high-density cotton fabric with exceptional water resistance, wind resistance, and abrasion resistance.
It possesses the smoothness characteristic of Ventile, with a particularly pleasant hand feel.
Whilst Ventile is woven in plain weave, Grenfell Cloth employs a twill weave construction.
One might reasonably understand it as the twill-weave iteration of Ventile.
The quality of this fabric is discernible even to the untrained eye, remarkable in its calibre.
For those unfamiliar with its tactile qualities, we would encourage direct contact—this is a piece worth experiencing firsthand.
The brand's receipt of the Royal Warrant, a distinction known to be seldom conferred, speaks to its standing and regard.
This particular example does not employ the Grenfell Cloth that defines the brand, yet the fabric quality remains exceptional nonetheless.
The cloth is a cotton and Terylene blend, crafted as a soft-handed blended fabric.
Terylene is a trademark for polyester-based synthetic fibre; one may understand this as cotton and polyester composition.
This example represents the Mountain Parka, a silhouette long favoured by Grenfell.
It remains a staple in both vintage and contemporary Grenfell collections.
As its name suggests, this was worn for mountaineering pursuits of the era.
The Mountain Parka is often perceived as suitable only for outdoor endeavours, yet the design sensibility, fabric character, and colourway of Grenfell renders this piece remarkably versatile for urban wear. It is genuinely adaptable across varied contexts.
Interior drawcords at the waist allow for adjustment, introducing silhouette variation and offering a two-way styling possibility—a welcome refinement.
The presence of a mountain tag and AERO branded zip marks this as a scarce example from the 1970s era.
The sizing runs small; those of modest frame will find it accommodating.
There is a button absence, though the piece is otherwise free from notable soiling or damage. Its overall condition remains clean.
Naturally, there are no significant impairments that would inhibit wear; it remains entirely functional.
A piece from a storied British heritage brand.
Should you seek such a thing, this opportunity merits consideration.
