Founded by two good friends back in 2010, Yuki Thread’s vision was to create a 100% Australian owned snow apparel company that bridged the gap between the mountains and the streets. But the brand’s vision wasn’t just about creating good-looking quality products, they’re also a leading example of what it looks like when a brand takes responsibility for their actions.

Who Are The Yuki Threads Retro Jacket and Retro Pants For?

Part of the Yuki Retro Collection, the Retro jacket and pants are made for the young fun-loving snowbums who want to both look good and feel good. However, this outfit isn’t just about the looks. The fully taped seams and 15K waterproofing and breathability rating provide all the protection needed within the resort, while still keeping you dry after the occasional powder run.

Materials and Construction

The shell on both the jacket and the pants is made from 100% recycled nylon coated with a fully sustainable, fluorine-free, DWR. Adding to the list of recycled materials, the lining is also 100% recycled. And, on top of that, all the fabrics used are Bluesign approved.

A shell isn’t always your best bet if you tend to get easily cold. To avoid that from happening, there’s light insulation in the jacket to keep you warm when the temperatures drop. Living up to the Yuki standards, the insulation too is made from 100% Recycled polyester.

Fit and Features

As the name implies, a lot of nostalgic cuts and trims can be found here. The outfit draws its inspiration from the founder’s old school photos and teenage wardrobe with improved tech an added modern twist. With a slightly baggy fit, this is exactly what you’d imagine a new and improved 90’s outfit to look like.

Both the Retro jacket and pants are stacked with a bunch of cool features. The jacket is equipped with a storm flap with magnetic fasteners, a lift pass pocket, a media pocket on the chest, underarm YKK zippered vents, an elasticated in-pocket bottom hem adjuster with cord locks and a packable hood with vintage press stud fasteners.

The pants come with a mesh cargo pocket, a front zipper with press buttons and drawstring closure, water-resistant YKK zippers on the side pockets, elasticized boot gators and an elasticated bottom hem adjuster with cord locks
