You can now preorder these modular jackets designed by Jony Ive. The new product from Apple’s former chief design officer is a collaboration between his design company, LoveFrom, and the French fashion brand Moncler. Pieces in the LoveFrom, Moncler collection start at $2,440 for the parka, $2,575 for the field jacket, and $3,115 for the down jacket. The dashing orange poncho doesn’t appear to be available yet.

The sartorial statement pieces (Vogue is hailing them as the “season’s most functional outerwear”) will ship on October 10th. But you might want to be quick about it; most of the white versions are already sold out.

The collection features three shell jackets made from “high-quality recycled nylon” that connect to a core down jacket in white or yellow. The layers also come in white and yellow, and there’s the option of a green field jacket, a light blue parka, or the aforementioned orange poncho.
