Discover the Marble Quarries with Mason's Winter Jackets

Winter is approaching, and like every year, the temperatures are dropping, the landscape is changing, and the need to wear warmer clothing is becoming increasingly evident. In this scenario, the winter jackets for men from Mason's prove to be not only an essential fashion item but also a vital defense against the cold. Designed to ensure maximum comfort and ideal protection during the cold season, these coats combine elegance and functionality in a single piece.

And what better setting to wear your new Mason's men's jacket than a visit to the majestic Carrara quarries? Renowned worldwide, these quarries are the emblem not only of Italian excellence but also of a tradition and an art that have transcended ages.

The Carrara Marble Quarries: An Immersion in History

The Carrara quarries represent one of the most iconic scenarios in the Italian landscape: located in the Tuscany region, the most famous basins are Colonnata, Torano, and Fantiscritti. Since Roman times, the precious white marble has been extracted from these quarries, which has been one of the most valuable resources in Italian and world art and architecture.

For centuries, the marble was transported down the mountain using a technique called lizzatura, an extremely risky transport process: this practice remained in use from imperial times until the mid-20th century, when the first winding roads were built. The extracted marble was then transported to the port of Luni via the Carraia road, on ox-drawn carts. Today, you can explore these quarries through guided tours that allow you to immerse yourself in a world of history, art, and engineering ingenuity.

If you plan to visit in the fall, when the weather is still mild but starts to cool down, the optimal choice is the Field Jacket Model 74. This piece, made from high-quality cotton, is available in three color variants: black, navy blue, and dark green. Featuring two front pockets with flaps, a drawstring, and the distinctive rivet with the Mason's logo, this jacket embodies the essence of style and practicality.

If you want to explore the Carrara quarries during the colder months, when temperatures can drop significantly, the Parka Model Salt Lake is the perfect choice for you. Made from water-resistant technical fabric, the jacket features a removable hood, large pockets, and thermal lining to retain heat. The zip and button closure provides additional protection against the cold, and the two color variants, dark blue and dark green, allow you to choose the model that best suits your personal taste.
