Nau Down Shirt

Have you ever been on a camping adventure, arisen in the morning and thought about how cozy and warm your sleeping bag is compared to the cold, harsh morning air? You wished you could stay in there all day, only to realize how awkward it would be to hop around the campsite, trying to make coffee in a sleeping bag? It’s not a pretty sight, scooping coffee grounds out of the dirt and hoping that most of your handful is indeed coffee. Then you brew said handful of brown and realize it was mostly dirt…..

Nau has solved all of your cowboy coffee problems with the 850-fill Down Shirt (currently available at NYC Velo). Just like your favorite sleeping bag, it marries a heap of function with a simple form. Nau has thought out every eco-production nuance of this garment to make it as responsibly as possible. The shell is made of 100% recycled polyester treated with DWR (durable water repellent) to shed light precipitation and snow. The fill is completely renewable 850 goose down, having been collected from geese allowed to reach their full maturity and having been specially bred for this purpose. Another feature of the 850-fill goose down is it’s excellent ability to trap more heat per ounce than other insulators. The shirt’s thermal qualities, coupled with it’s slim fit and thin profile make it at home equally as a mid or outer layer. All that in a simple, yet stylish quilted six-button jacket, complete with zippered front pockets. And unlike your sleeping bag, it has arms!
