Best Quality Winter Parkas You Can Buy
Winter parka is an essential part of any cold-weather wardrobe, especially if you live in a cold climate. Unfortunately, finding a well-made parka these days isn’t easy, which is why I’d like to share two of my favorite style options.
History of Parka
The parka was invented by the Inuit of the Canadian Arctic, who called it the "Amauti." Made from caribou skin and coated with fish oil, it kept them warm and dry in freezing conditions. The traditional amauti was more like what we know today as an anorak. It didn’t have an open front like the modern parkas developed since WWII.

Guide to Quality Footwear - Chukka Boots
These lace-up boots originated with British Army units stationed in India, who wore ankle-high leather boots to play polo.
Best Quality Vests You Can Buy
Unlike a jacket, a vest only takes up part of your body, leaving your sleeves exposed, which makes it easier to experiment with color. I prefer vests in brighter colors because they add a vintage or old-school vibe to a casual outfit.
