Utility jackets have been a mainstay in menswear for over a century. Beginning with the denim jackets of the late 1800s and WWI-era leather bombers, they’ve been a timeless menswear piece that few designers have bothered to drastically change. But, Vollebak has brought the outerwear staple into the 21st century with their 100% Dyneema ‘indestructible jacket.’ Dyneema is an extremely strong, low-weight fiber that has been used in bullet-resistant vests, armor, and helmets. Vollebak used Dyneema, billed as being 15x stronger than steel, to combine fashion and function in this high-performing jacket. Built to withstand extreme elements, the Indestructible Jacket features shatterproof buttons, an anti-mosquito reinforced double collar, hidden passport pockets, and more. In colder temperatures, the Dyneema fibers will remain strong making the jacket nearly rip-proof. Plus, the more you wear it, the warmer it will get–unlike a cold denim overshirt. Even with all its bells and whistles, the jacket is still a sleek, stylish outerwear option that won’t look out of place in the city or on the road. Wear it as an overshirt with a solid baselayer or double your layers with a hoodie or crewneck.
