Slipknot is a jacket made specifically for dinghy cruising, the practice of using a small boat for multi-day camping excursions. The form and aesthetic is reminicent of nautical gear while additionally combining more futuristic elements. The standout feature of the jacket are the hand wraps on the cuffs, secured with snap buttons and made to be available at a moments notice when dealing with typical boating interactions such as handling rope and lifting heavy items.
Material choices were also very intentional in the creation of the jacket, with heavyweight canvas making up the exterior and a merino wool Polartech blend for the lining. The color change between deep red to white is meant to add significance to the cuffs and highlight the main aspect of functionality on the jacket.
