My new friend’s name is Maxim, and he is a comrade, a real warm time.

But Maxim is different: First of all, from the distance, a closed type is considered, rather. Maritime dark blue, with a high closed collar, and I audible Zipp! up under the chin to be used. With two Stropps, I could pull me to the textile around the waist. So I have it warm and cuddly – on the boat and elsewhere. Water from the top? Hood up, finished.

The jacket has a life of its own, they fluff up like. Then the zig-zag stitching that runs with a few diagonal lines across the chest trembles. The spacious outside pockets of this jacket are the men’s Version of a ladies handbag: deep and roomy, get out of here nothing. An example from today: on the left of the Hand-disinfection, on the right, my house, my car, my office – that is to say, my keys and the mobile phone.

Where the heart is, is my wallet: Under the left Jacket lapel is a small zip pocket, and here I sink my combined money and document custodian in the thumbnail format.

While I write these lines, kept me warm. It rustles, while the icy March Wind blows through the Home Office. The Two-layer Material is windproof and waterproof like a rain jacket. Where to me in the last year, even thicker Sweater and Colani appeared suitable for windy moments, I went now with Maxim breathable through the Winter. Including nothing more than a float Shirt.
