To reach our goal of creating functional outerwear for any situation, we needed to challenge the misconception that fossil-fuel based fabrics are king. Instead, The Last is made in classic, natural and legendary Ventile cotton. Ventile works well in all kinds of weather, and much of its fame comes from its capability to keep water out. Additionally, the textile is relatively light and has great breathability. Unlike GoreTex, Ventile is also comfortable enough to wear straight on the skin, making it great for warmer days as well. Lastly, Ventile is known for it its patina – it ages well. This kind of timelessness is also a key element in our design philosophy. We have researched pants and jackets from the last 100 years, and have ended up with outerwear that we hope and believe can be called "classics" for the next 100.
