The letter A for anorak

     I decided that every week I am going to write about some fashion related thing. Using alphabetic sequence - different week, different letter. Using my dear "Fashion A-Z, an illustrated dictionary" book.
So this week it is letter "A"

Because it's spring I decided to write about anorak jacket- 
a hip lenght, waterproof jacket that is usually hooded and often features drawstrings at waist, cuffs and hood.Originally worn for warmth by Inuit Eskimos of Greenland, who made the jackets from sealskin treated with urine, ash and fish oil for water resistance. Similar to a parka although lighter in weight. "Anoraq"(Kalaallisut language)

I think that anorak is a great outdoor jacket, especially in spring and summer during festivals and rainy or windy days.
