Urban Industry x Penfield ’10th Anniversary’ Pac Mac Jacket

 

This week saw the release of the limited edition ‘Pac Mac’ Jacket from UK streetwear establishment Urban Industry and New England based outerwear brand Penfield, celebrating 10 years of working together.

The Pac Mac jacket is one of Penfield’s key styles, hugely popular throughout the 90’s when it was donned by various high profile musicians, the jacket has seen a bit of a resurgence lately thanks to the popularity of quarter zip pullovers. Using the jackets original construction as a base, Urban Industry have applied one of the strongest colour ways to the Pac Mac that we have seen, with black colour blocking on the arms meeting with a crisp white on the body, inspired by the contrasting chalky white cliffs and black pebble beaches which surround the stores native Eastbourne. The lightweight jacket features bold dual branded logo graphics on the arm to mark the 10th anniversary release, with a subtle woven Penfield logo on the kangaroo pouch pocket. Additional features include an adjustable hem, waist and hood, with elasticated cuffs to offer further protect you from the weather. For added practicality, the jacket can be packed away in to the velcro kangaroo pouch pocket making it easy to carry around when not needed.

Check out the visuals that we put together for the release above, shot against the chalky cliffs of Birling Gap.  The Urban Industry x Penfield ’10th Anniversary’ Pac Mac Jacket is available now in extremely limited numbers exclusively at Urban Industry.
