Krakatau, the urban technical outerwear
Founded in the late 1990s, Krakatau has its headquarters in Amsterdam. The brand specializes in coats and outer jackets, combining waterproof fabrics, removable linings, and practical pockets with a minimalist, sometimes avant-garde aesthetic.
The parkas
The Planck parka, the hooded Marcasite, and the Dsup, in technical or hooded versions, protect against cold, wet winters. Long, they cover the hips while maintaining a sleek silhouette.
The down jackets
The Planck down jacket takes its name from the parka, in a padded version. The Weryk, short and waterproof, can be worn as an urban winter down jacket that withstands the rain.
The waterproof jackets
The Masaru and the short Weryk keep the rain out. The Mentat features taped seams, sealed to prevent water from entering through the stitching. The hooded Apex rounds off the range.
The numbered jackets
The F50, F51, and NM07 jackets showcase the brand's style: clean cuts, discreet technical details, and functional materials.
Which model to choose?
- Cold and wet winter: a Planck or Dsup parka.
- City in the rain: the Mentat or the Masaru.
- Dry cold: the Planck down jacket.
- Mid-season: a F50, F51, or NM07 jacket.
The Krakatau style
Dark or mineral colors, structured silhouettes, few logos: Krakatau is for those who want genuine protection without the look of a mountain jacket. Its pieces can be worn over a suit or a sweatshirt.
The taped seams
A classic seam leaves tiny holes through which water can seep in. Sealed with a tape, taped seams ensure the waterproofing of a jacket.
Choosing your size
Try on your jacket or parka with a jumper or sweatshirt underneath. The sleeves should cover your wrists when your arms are outstretched, and the hood should be adjustable without obstructing your view.
Care instructions
Follow the label: waterproof garments should be washed without fabric softener, and a down jacket should be dried at low temperature with drying balls.
