Summary

Vollebak drops the hazard-yellow FWAHBL Jacket, limited to 10 pieces worldwide and priced at $3,995 USD.

Engineered from double-faced polychloroprene rubber by Fothergill to resist chemicals, flame, and extreme weather.

Comes in retro video game packaging alongside a comic book, trailer and upcoming video game.

Experimental gear maker Vollebak has released the FWAHBL (For When All Hell Breaks Loose) Jacket, a limited-edition trench coat engineered from high-grade chemical-suit material.

Strictly capped at just 10 pieces worldwide and finished entirely in a striking hazard yellow, the jacket is constructed from double-faced polychloroprene rubber coated over a woven polyester core. The ultra-durable textile is produced by Fothergill – a historic British manufacturer supplying protective gear to the military since 1847 – and is specifically designed to resist oils, ozone, weathering, flame and chemical exposure. Built to tackle extreme weather with a touch of existential dread, the coat comes packaged inside its own custom garment bag crafted from the very same chemical-suit fabric.

Beyond its construction, the FWAHBL Jacket arrives as part of a larger fictional universe. Each piece ships in retro video game-inspired packaging, accompanied by a Marvel-style comic strip and a film-style trailer, with a playable game currently in development. This narrative-driven approach transforms the jacket into more than functional apparel — it becomes a collectible artifact that merges fashion, gaming, and storytelling. While not certified safety equipment, the jacket is designed for extreme weather and existential dread, reflecting Vollebak’s ethos of creating clothing for the challenges of the future.

Priced at $3,995 USD, the FWAHBL Jacket is available via Vollebak’s official website.
