Beloved anoraks from Kainuu
The making of anorak starts in our fabric in Kajaani. Anorak’s design
and its patterns were originally made in Kajaani, and due to its
timeless design, we can re-use the same patterns and cutting lay-out
over and over again. After the GOTS certified organic cotton fabric
arrives to our production facilities, we cut the fabric and finish the
left sleeve pieces with an important detail: the recognizable,
embroidered tree logo. Then the pattern pieces are shipped to the factory of
our long-term partner in Estonia. There the anorak, at this point still
fully white, is sewn and it acquires its final shape. After that the
anorak is shipped to a dyehouse, which also is located in Estonia. The
anorak products are garment dyed and therefore it is possible to dye
even small quantities as well. Once
dyed, the anorak is sent back to our factory in Kajaani. Final quality
check at our warehouse, and the anoraks are ready to be sold in our own
stores as well as in our retailers’ stores and in our online shop.
Classic Anorak
R-Collection’s classical anorak jacket was created in 1982 and was one of R-Collection’s first and most popular products. Anorak was quickly called the national costume of Kainuu, as it was very popular among the people. The design has been refined over the years to suit the current style, but the basic principle has remained the same for all years.
Zipper Anorak
Berry picking, cross-country skiing, quick groceries or going to a
festival, zipper anorak is a perfect fit for any kind of situation.
Full-lenght zipper makes it easier to put on compared to our Classic
Anorak, but it still replicates the original look by its loose fit and
drawcord hem as well. Zipper anorak has been a part of our collection
since 1999.
Maxi Anorak
A-lined maxi anorak is designed to the urban adventures. Brushed fabric
and practical details, such as the chest pocket inside and press buttons
on the back of the hem, gives Maxi Anorak its own specific look,
however maintaining the essential presence of anorak. The first
resembling designs can be found in the collection of 1987, but the
current design has been a part of the collection for about ten years
now.
The tightly woven fabric keeps the wind very well. It has been treated to repel dirt and water. The processing agent used in the treatment, as well as the colors used in the dyeing process, are Bluesign certified and don't contain fluorocarbonate compounds, therefore the garment is PFC-/PFAS-free. The coating preserves the fabric's natural softness and breathability.
Lehto Anorak
Anorak is our so-called “jack of all trades”. During the years we’ve
created it over and over again. Its universal design is an endless
fountain of inspiration, waiting to be discovered and turned into
something new. Our latest anorak-inspired product, Lehto Anorak, is
designed for outdoor activities. Italian water-repellent fabric and
quilted, production surplus lining makes it a stylish choice for
enjoying the higher sun angles and longer days of March, as well as the
April showers.
Eija Anorak
The latest member of our Anorak family is Eija. During the years we’ve
received lots of wishes for an anorak made with women’s sizing. Last
autumn we were finally able to fulfil the wishes and Eija quickly earned
its place among our core pieces. Inspired by our Maxi Anorak, just with
slightly shorter sleeves, looser fit around the hips and, according to
the wishes, a drawcord on the waist, Eija is another piece in the chain
of timeless classics.
