If we had to choose just one jacket to showcase the highest quality and bordering obsessive levels of detail, the Greenland No.1 would be that jacket. The Greenland No.1 sits in Fjallraven's 'numbers collection', a carefully chosen selection of products which feature the least amount of environmental harm, will last a lifetime of use and look incredible at the same time.
Starting from the inside-out, the Greenland No.1 is insulted with 100g of the highest quality goose down to provide you with some of the warmest insulation currently available. This down comes from birds that haven't been live plucked and have lived a free-range existence; therefore, although it sounds stupid, it creates a higher quality insulation and will insulate you more efficiently. Fjallraven have continued their theme of OCD detail to the inside of the jacket too - the inner is lined with Pertex Quantum; this fabric is completely downproof, therefore down can't escape and shuffle it's way through. It's also highly breathable and will aid moisture management if you kick up a bit of a sweat.
Encapsulating all this super high quality down is Fjallraven's own Recycled Polyester and Organic Cotton mix fabric (G-1000 Eco). This eco fabric is far more environmentally friendly than standard Polyester and Cotton fabrics yet features the same durability and weather resistance. The great thing about this fabric is that you control how breathable and water resistant the jacket is. If you require the highest level of breathability, leave the jacket unwaxed and unproofed. If you're using the No.1 in some foul conditions and need a bit more weather resistance, give the jacket a wax using a hairdryer or an iron and watch the water repel off. Although while waxed the No.1 will be less breathable, it will allow the jacket to be completely windproof and highly water resistant for the worst conditions.
Vegetable tanned leather strips are placed around the cuffs and hood, while a large leather Fjallraven badge finishes this Scandinavian piece of artwork off. Brass poppers with Fjallraven's fox logo sit in front of the zip and just reinforces what the numbers collection is all about. Two hand pockets and two bellows pockets take items such as a phone, keys or compass.
Whether you're using this jacket as a technical insulated outdoor piece, an everyday winter jacket or just to stare at for days on end, we're confident you'll grow to love it more and more as it ages with style and dignity.
