Keeping the same silhouette as its predecessor, the Falkland Parka 95 has been updated with modernised materials including Ventile's premium, fluorocarbon-free cotton fabric, L24 and Keela's Queens Award-winning System Dual Protection (SDP).
The jacket, which is nominated in the Sustainability category at the 2026 OIA Awards, is the latest piece to be made at Keela's factory in Glenrothes.
The Falkland forms part of Keela's 'Albion Collection' – celebrating Keela's sister brand, Ilasco's, 45 years of UK manufacturing.
Sam Fernando, Keela sales director said: 'We're so excited to be bringing back our Falkland Parka, refreshing it for a new generation whilst keeping the essence of what made the original so special.

The Oasis singer is a noted parka enthusiast, once telling BBC Five Live he owned 'millions' of the jackets.
In a 2009 interview Gallagher said: "The first parka I ever got, my auntie worked at a sports centre. There was one left behind, an Yves Saint Laurent one, and it was yellow cord and she sort of like, robbed it if you want but it was left behind so she bagsied it.
"I went to see The Stone Roses in Blackpool (in 1989) and I was the only one down there with one, it was yellow cord and it was beautiful.
'I was the ace down there without doubt. It was proper out of this world, I don't know where it is now but I fell in love with them. Every time you put them on you feel like you're going to war or something – and they hide a lot of sins.'
