From JCrew: "Originally founded in Switzerland in 1910, this Italian brand of "chic sportif" is synonymous with elegance and innovation (it was among the first to offer skis when the sport was taking off in the early 20th century). Its ready-to-wear collection—launched in 1990 and inspired by the sport's golden age—transfers the charm, craftsmanship and technology of its skis to clothing coveted by ski enthusiasts and fashion aficionados alike. A snowbound study in form and function, this water-resistant ski jacket boasts strategically placed pockets, zippered side vents and a detachable hood for seamless wear on the slopes (or city streets). We love its oversize, Swiss-made galvanized zippers for an extra dose of blizzard-worthy bling. You'll love its quilted feather down to keep you superwarm in cutting-edge style from Aspen to the Alps. Zip closure. Long sleeves. Chest zip pocket, flap slant pockets with zip and button closure. Part of J.Crew Collection. Made in Italy. Dry clean." Available in classic navy.
