The short answer: The Windsor Fleece-Lined Hooded Parka Coat (£150.00) is a hooded winter parka with a padded body and a fleece lining, a fixed hood and a zip front. Its record describes it as warm enough for the coldest commute without looking technical. Sizes run S to XL in Khaki, Olive and Navy, in a regular fit — take your usual size, and size up only to wear it over a thick hoodie.
WARDLEY London is our own store — prices and product facts below are taken from our own listings.
What is a fleece-lined parka?
A parka is a hooded winter coat, and a fleece-lined parka carries a fleece lining inside the body rather than a plain lining. On the Windsor, the body is also padded, so the warmth comes from a padded fill and a fleece lining together. It is not a technical outdoor shell: its record publishes no waterproof rating, and none is claimed here.
How we chose these: the winter coats below are compared on price, sizes offered, colours offered, fill or lining and form exactly as stated on each product's record — from our own product data. No record here publishes garment measurements, so no measurements column is used.
What is the Windsor made from?
The record states a polyester outer and lining with a padded fill, as listed by the maker, and a fleece lining in the body. No fibre breakdown beyond that is published, so none is added here. The construction on the record is plain: a fixed hood, a zip front and practical pockets.
Is the Windsor waterproof?
Its record does not say so, and no waterproof or water-resistance rating is published for it, so neither is claimed here. Best for the coldest commute: the Windsor is described on its record as warm enough for the coldest commute without looking technical — a padded, fleece-lined parka for cold days, in Khaki, Olive and Navy rather than in outdoor-gear colours.
What sizes does the Windsor come in, and how does it fit?
It is a regular fit. Sizes run S, M, L and XL in Khaki, Olive and Navy — twelve variants, every one at £150.00. The record's sizing advice is exact: take your usual size; size up to wear it over a thick hoodie. No garment measurements are published for this coat, so none are tabled here.
How do you wear a fleece-lined parka?
The record's own framing is the commute: a warm hooded coat that does not look technical. Best for cold commutes: the fixed hood and zip front over your usual work layers, in Navy or Khaki. Best for the weekend: the same padded body in Olive, with the hood up or down as the day requires. The practical pockets are the only storage detail the record publishes, so no pocket count is claimed.
How do you care for the Windsor?
Follow the care label — that is the whole care instruction on the record, given in full. No wash temperature, drying method or ironing instruction is published for this coat, so none is invented here.
