Clothes made of functional materials and the people who wear them.
VOL.3 Avilex

When it comes to choosing a dependable winter jacket for the cold winter city, the material is the deciding factor. Of these, we are particularly interested in "THERMOLITE® insulation," a material that provides reliable heat retention and lightness. In this issue, we will create a styling with three of Avilex's masterpieces that use this material. While paying homage to the original models, we explored the possibilities of military wear in a fashion context. Please enjoy the text, which is a mixture of pointers and fantasies.

Stand up to the extreme cold!

This military jacket type "N-2B" was developed by the U.S. Air Force in the 1950s for cold weather. It has the iconic large fur hood and a double-layered front with zipper and button closure to keep out the cold air. The Thermolite® insulation inside makes it warm and lightweight. This is a product of Avilex, which used to be supplied to the U.S. Air Force, so you can be assured that the quality will meet the standards of serious military enthusiasts. Incidentally, the waist length was designed for ease of movement inside the cockpit.

The furred hood can be split in two for when a helmet is worn. The facial recognition system on the phone may not work with this deep hood.

It is a well-known saying that when it is cold, you need to warm up your "three necks": neck, wrists, and ankles. With this jacket, the boa and fur inside make the neck perfect.
