Downhill ‘27 Jacket Italiana II (Pre-Order)

Since the first modern downhill race in the United States was staged in 1927, traditional alpine sport clubs have remained authentic bastions of ski and ski racing throughout the world. Dartmouth College’s famous Outing Club and the Appalachian Mountain Club of the early 20th century combined a love for winter and the mountains with a desire to slide fast on snow. As racing evolved from its initial North American origins on Mt. Moosilauke, New Hampshire to the world’s first alpine combined event of slalom and downhilll in the Alberg in 1928 passion, style, and technique have fueled skiing’s storied history of legends and legendary races.

It is with deep appreciation for traditional methods of making that the Downhill '27 Jacket receives the addition of handmade Italian craftsmanship using superlative Loro Piana Storm System® cloth. 

A unique Forged Performance sportswear garment fusing traditional leather with natural down fill technology, the Downhill ‘27 Jacket Italiana II links the passion of skiing’s first sports clubs with the excitement, panache, and high style Italian methods of making in Desert hues suitable for the chateaus of the Alps and high streets of Paris, Milan, London, or New York.
