A heavy-duty insulated canvas work parka from Tough Duck (made by Richlu Manufacturing), designed for cold-weather outdoor labor like welding and industrial work.

Why it's buy-it-for-life

One redditor's Abraham parka survived 14 years of daily wear working outside welding in northern Canadian winters, and still holds up as a casual coat today.

    I've had my tough duck Abraham parka for 14 years, got me through northern Canadian winters, I used to work outside welding and wore it every day. Now I walk my dog in it. Looks gnarly now, but never skipped a beat.
