BIG DROP: Initially introduced by our friends at @peta, we teamed up with German brand @embassyofbricksandlogs to create the Flying Guillotine Puffer Jacket that we just released today. Quick hits about the jacket 1) doesn’t use a down filling 2) we used 100% recycled ocean plastic for the filling 3) takes inspiration from the flying guillotine series of movies/ancient Chinese weapon.

RZA’s clothing brand 36 Chambers has teamed up with German vegan outerwear brand Embassy of Bricks and Logs and PETA to release a limited-edition of a Flying Guillotine Puffer Jacket named after the Taiwanese film “Master of the Flying Guillotine.”

The winter jacket is down-free and uses material made out of recycled plastic bottles removed from the ocean.

The coat lining has a vibrant, patterned design made from 100% recycled polyester and the hood is embossed with the words ‘Our Heads No Longer Belong to Us’.

Apart from being vegan, RZA is a passionate animal rights campaigner. He believes that with technology, cruelty for warmth is redundant.

“As we evolve as a people through technology and ingenuity, we have the ability through humane ways to fashion garments that not only serve our purpose but also, more importantly, abandon the unnecessary cruelty to animals,” said RZA in a statement.

Big shout out to our friends at @peta for putting together this video and introducing us to @embassyofbricksandlogs. Embassy has a range of highly technical jackets that utilize sustainable materials. From a technical perspective, this is without a doubt the best product we’ve been a part of. #36chambers #pufferjacket #petaapproved

“While down items harm animals and the planet, this warm, trendy vegan coat made with 100 percent recycled ocean plastic will help PETA save animals,” added PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman.

“The Flying Guillotine Puffer Jacket is the perfect choice for anyone who wants to wear their heart on their sleeve this winter.”

The jacket costs about $336 and 36 Chambers will donate 15% of the profits to PETA.

Appreciate the different looks we received yesterday and today from the vegan community. The quality on these banana-based wallets is great. Looking forward to getting them into everyone’s hands for the holidays. #petaapprovedvegan #youdonthavetobevegantobuyvegan
