Nikkie Urmston Faux Fur Ski Jacket in Brown

Chocolate faux fur makes for one warm sophisticated winter jacket and the NIKKIE Urmston is the proof.

Hot cacao is a rich, espresso-edged chocolate that gives this womens faux fur ski jackets dense pile real depth: it reads expensive in candlelight, forgives the rigours of a week's holiday far better than lighter shades, and sits at the exact centre of a casual brown-toned palette. 

Cropped and cut loose in proper teddy proportions, with warm Sorona insulation beneath the faux fur outer and elasticated cuffs and hem holding the warmth close. The quilted hood is detachable.  Not a single animal fibre in any of it.

It earns its keep beyond the ski holiday, which is quietly the best argument for it. Over camel knits and denim, over black tailoring, on frosty mornings and through the whole  of winter this jacket behaves like the asset it secretly is. Buy it for the trip; keep it for the longerst time

FAQ

Can you ski in the NIKKIE Urmston?
No, and it isn't trying to be skied in. The Urmston has no waterproof rating or piste features; it is NIKKIE's après-ski and lifestyle jacket, designed for everything around the skiing: terraces, village evenings and cold days at home. Pair it with one of NIKKIE's technical jackets for the mountain itself.

Is the fur real or faux?
Faux, entirely. The pile is 100% polyester, as are the lining and padding, so the jacket is completely animal-free while keeping the plush, dense feel of the real thing.

How warm is the Urmston?
Warm in the way a teddy coat is warm: the dense faux fur traps heat, Sorona insulation sits beneath it, and the elasticated cuffs and hem stop the cold getting in. For dry, cold days and evenings it is genuinely cosy; it is not for wet weather.

How does the Urmston fit?
Loose and relaxed by design, with a cropped length that sits at the hip. Take your usual size; the teddy volume is the look, and there is easily room for knitwear underneath.

Should I choose the Urmston in hot cacao or cream?
Cream is the classic statement and photographs beautifully against snow; hot cacao is the richer, more forgiving choice that hides the wear of a busy week and works harder off the mountain, over camel, denim and black. If it will live mostly at home between trips, brown is the practical vote; if it is for the holiday above all, cream is hard to resist.

What do you wear with a chocolate faux fur jacket?
Tonal layers make it luxurious: camel, cream and toffee knits underneath, gold jewellery against the pile. Black sharpens it, denim relaxes it, and at après it sits perfectly over NIKKIE's hot cacao pieces for a head-to-toe chocolate look.
