This hoodie is made from old Swiss parachutes, but you probably still shouldn’t jump out of a plane
If it’s made in Switzerland, I’ll probably buy it. Delicious chocolate, super-accurate watches and of course the iconic Army knife. And now, the Parachute Hoodie, which is not just made in Switzerland but Remade in Switzerland (that’s the name of the company behind it).
The Parachute Hoodie is sewn from two different colors of “surplus Swiss military air-brake parachutes”. The seams are taped with parachute tape, the zippers are Swiss and the jersey cuffs are not from Jersey but taken from military balaclavas. In short, this is a pretty badass jacket.
And so it should be. The jackets come made for men or women, almost identical except for sizing and fit, in a limited edition of just 100 of each. They’re not priced, though, which means they’re not going to be cheap.
That doesn’t stop me wanting one. Plus, if I ever do get lost in the woods (Swiss or otherwise) then the bright orange colorway will have me rescued in no time.
