Some jackets you buy for the season; this is one you buy for the next decade. The Open Roads Waxed Canvas Jacket is Roark's tribute to the kind of workwear that ages into something better — a waxed cotton duck shell with a soft flannel lining, a rugged corduroy collar, and the lived-in good looks of a jacket that's been somewhere. The waxed canvas turns away the elements while picking up the patina of every adventure it goes on, so the harder you wear it, the better it gets.

Some brands make clothes. Roark makes excuses to leave. Founded in 2010 by Ryan Hitzel — a restless artist, former Volcom creative and the kind of bloke who'd rather be digging through a back-alley market in Oaxaca than sitting behind a desk — Roark was born out of a road trip from San Francisco to the Mexican border and a deep frustration with an outdoor industry that had lost its sense of story. Ryan wanted something that wasn't just a surf brand, or a skate brand, or an outdoor brand — he wanted a brand built around the lifestyle of adventurism itself. The kind that sees every trip as a chance to discover something worth telling people about.
Each season, Roark's crew picks a destination somewhere on the map and heads out to test their gear across surfing, climbing, skating, running and whatever else the road throws at them. That real-world thrashing is what shapes the collection — purpose-built pieces that work just as well on a Himalayan motorcycle expedition as they do in a pub in the Lakes. It's gear designed for people who never quite know where they'll end up, and wouldn't have it any other way.
