Attribute deep dive

We break down what drove each score so you can weigh trade-offs.

Quality Analysis 80/100

This jacket boasts Loro Piana wool with Storm System® technology for impressive rain and wind resistance, suggesting a fabric built to withstand the elements. The use of 100% horn (Buffalo) buttons further indicates a commitment to quality, enhancing the garment's overall resilience.

Comfort Assessment 90/100

This jacket offers a comfortable experience due to its mid-weight, slightly stretchy fabric, allowing for ease of movement. The padded inner layer further enhances comfort, providing a soft feel against the body.

Sustainability Impact 50/100

This jacket features 100% wool and horn buttons, but without traceability or welfare information for these animal-derived materials, we can't confirm their sustainable sourcing. The polyester lining also lacks recycled content, which would enhance its eco-credentials.
