Anderson Coat

This coat leans into the structural codes of military surplus, defined by sharp shoulder epaulettes and a double-breasted placket that anchors the frame. The heavyweight, brushed weave creates a stiff, architectural drape that holds its shape even when cinched at the waist with the self-belt. It is a utilitarian approach to cold-weather dressing that relies on traditional tailoring details to offset the density of the black polyester fabric.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: The garment is composed entirely of polyester, a petroleum-based plastic fiber that lacks natural breathability and thermal regulation. Synthetic materials of this nature have low moisture-wicking capabilities and pose a higher risk for microplastic shedding and potential chemical transfer through skin contact.
