Future Nylon Coat

The Future Nylon Coat is a timeless but future-proof minimalist outer layer celebrating one of the most influential material inventions of the 20th century. There aren’t many materials which perform just as well at the Met Gala as they do on Mars, but since its invention in 1935 by a Harvard chemist, nylon has changed the world. In the 1940s it helped the Allies win WWII. In the 1980s Miuccia Prada used it to transform luxury fashion. And decades later it was deployed in the parachutes and landing systems of the Perseverance and Curiosity Rovers. Today nylon’s resilience and versatility mean it’s found everywhere from performance outerwear, swimsuits and spacesuits, to carpets, car parts and fishing lines. Our everyday lives depend on it. Built from a lightweight, high-strength and high-stretch Cordura, we’ve taken the nylon raincoat and upgraded it for the next century. We’ve combined the simplicity of a classic mac and added advanced technical details throughout, including underarm vents drilled by lasers and three streamlined zipped pockets. And to construct each coat we used ultrasonic welding, high frequency sound waves that bond materials creating incredibly precise and clean seams.
