The floral print on the Stio Harkin might not be for everyone, but I love it, and fell for this jacket on first sight. And aside from my daughter, who’s mortified when I wear it in public, judging from the comments and questions, a lot of other people dig this jacket too. I throw it over a hoodie on work days, and between a merino base layer and a shell for snowboarding on colder days. And I’ll definitely be reaching for it this on sunny days this spring at Mary Jane. If you’re not into the full floral print, the Harkin is reversible, with a subtle gray quilted look to contrast the bright retro design. You won’t get them on the floral side, but if you run it inside out, you’ll get large hand pockets. Snap chest pockets adorn the floral side and a zippered chest pocket is featured on the gray side of the jacket. Fit is pretty true to size, with medium fitting me as expected.
For you eco consumers, Stio should be high on your list. They take particular care in reducing their footprint, including the use of traceable down, and Bluesign™ approved materials. The Harkin is made from 50% recycled polyester Thermore Ecodown® Insulation. Learn more about Stio’s manufacturing and sourcing.
