K-Way iconic garment was born in 1965 in Paris, as an excellent waterproof jacket for wearability and innovation.
The iconic garment of the 60’s generation is irreplaceable for its uniqueness, functionality, comfortable and easy to carry and cool in its simplicity. An endless style, an iconic waterproof jacket “par excellence” because it is classic but at the same time technological and windproof, offering a wide range of colors.
The collection today has maintained the iconic styles, that are the DNA of the brand adding many other styles that refer to historical garments but with a fashionable cut. The iconic outfits can be transformed into a pouch or pocket, easy to wear and carry on.
They have heat-sealed zip in which they are folded, the materials are windproof, light and breathable, but very practical and indispensable on a rainy day. In fact, the name K-Way was born in Paris on a rainy day, in 1965, “en cas de pluie”.
K-Way is a brand owned by Basic-net, a company listed on the stock exchange in 1999, which also owns other historical sports brands, Robe di kappa, Jesus Jeans, Superga, Sebago, Briko, Sabelt, leading brands of leisure, footwear and accessories.
