If you’re looking for the most cutting-edge running shoe or your next head-to-toe ensemble for your daily gym routine, Nike’s one-stop shop could be the first and last place you visit. But although Nike may be synonymous with athletic wear, it may come as a surprise that the company’s reach is much further than that. If you want the brand’s expertise with blending style and utility, look no further than the Nike Life lineup, featuring everyday gear that goes beyond the gym, such as the Waxed Canvas Work Jacket, a durable outer layer with a classic design.
We’re tempted to say that waxed canvas jackets are having a moment right now, but that would imply that the style has been anything but timeless over the decades. Instead, we prefer to think of the recent rise in these coats as a realized appreciation by the consumer that there may be nothing better than a heavy-duty work jacket you can wear for years and years. Taking things one step further, Nike’s Waxed Canvas Work Jacket is not only constructed of durable woven cotton twill but is blended with 26% nylon for its inherent water-repellant properties as well as an additional stretch in your daily routine. Designed to age the more you wear it, the canvas has also been waxed for extra water-repellancy.
For additional warmth, polyester insulation is stitched into the fabric of the body and sleeves to keep you even warmer when the weather cools down. Likewise, the full-zip metal zipper in front is covered with a snap-down flap for extra protection. Gleaming with a touch of streetwear aesthetic, the jacket is slim yet a bit roomier than most, allowing you to wear it over a sweatshirt or hoodie. The front features two large patch pockets (with a hidden side compartment) for storing your phone, keys, or anything else you carry on you. There’s also an interior breast pocket for more valuable items.
Add the Nike Life Waxed Canvas Work Jacket to your wardrobe this season for $275. It’s currently up for grabs now on Nike’s web store.
