Layer Cake Of New York Windbreakers

Cities aren’t flat.

They’re stacked.

Built in layers you only notice when something is missing.

The Layer Cake of New York Windbreaker treats the city like what it really is: a slice-by-slice construction of ambition, infrastructure, survival, and dreams piled on top of one another. Streets above. Subways below. Stories everywhere in between.

On the back, the full cake rises—layered, dense, and unmistakably New York. On the front chest, a single missing slice appears. Not lost. Just relocated. Proof that what’s missing from the whole is carried by the individual.

Designed for transitional weather, this lightweight, wind-resistant shell blocks sudden gusts, shrugs off light rain, and stays breathable as the day shifts. Available in black for a grounded, architectural feel and aqua for a sharper contrast—cooler, brighter, and slightly unexpected. Same structure. Different energy. Black lets the city loom. Aqua lets it breathe.

Because New York isn’t one thing.

It’s layers of movement.

Layers of pressure.

Layers of people carrying their piece of the city with them.

Sometimes you’re inside the cake.

Sometimes you’re the slice.

Either way, you’re part of the structure.
