Is the down lining removable?

Yes. The Skai-SLB has a detachable down-and-feather lining, so you can wear it as a plain wool coat in milder weather and zip the lining in for winter.

How warm is it compared with a parka?

With the lining in, the wool shell plus down filling handles freezing city winters. Without it, it behaves like a mid-weight wool coat for fall and spring.

What does RWS certification mean here?

The wool is certified to the Responsible Wool Standard, which covers animal welfare and land management on the farms supplying it.

How does the fit run?

It is cut straight, so it sits close to the body without tapering. Size up if you plan to wear thick sweaters or a suit jacket underneath.

Is $1,290 a good price?

It is the only new price listed, $1,290 at Mackage as of November 7, 2026, so there is no cheaper store to compare against. Watch for end-of-season markdowns on outerwear.
