THERMOLITE® insulation for Autumn and Winter

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.

A fashion military staple.

The "MA-1" was born in the 1950s as a flight jacket for the U.S. Air Force, an outerwear with heat retention and functionality to withstand extremely cold weather. Today, despite its military origins, the MA-1 has become a part of modern fashion, and is now the face of everyday wear. This jacket from Avilex is made with Thermolite® insulation, making it lightweight and warm. The deep green khaki color is also a must-have.

Oversized snow camo was originally worn over pants. It is said that the reason was to keep the wearer from getting cold in the snow, but if the color is khaki, it can also be a fashion statement.

Thanks to the ribbed collar that fits around the neck, the "MA-1" keeps you warm. And strangely enough, it matches the soldier's shaved head. Incidentally, the reason for shaved heads is for visual discipline, sanitary convenience, and ease of treatment in case of injury.

'I've been waiting for that girl for six hours. This jacket is warm because it's made of that material..., just my body."

The orange lining of the MA-1 was originally intended to make it easier to find in case of distress. I was wondering if I was a lost person in love.

Always keep a good luck charm in your heart, right?

Military personnel wore patches to identify their affiliations and backgrounds. It was, so to speak, a "resume to wear" that military personnel should be proud of.

I don't want to show any skin except my face because it's cold in the winter. I like it, Kimi the dog is completely naked."

He is mistaken for a pilot, but he is a heavy hay fever sufferer.
