I see that the outerwear is a special order from Altus.

This is the first item called "Pocketable Colorblock Jacket" that I commissioned. It was the most widely released item in the Raisin series that had been developed by "Altus" up to now. I chose the red color to match with khaki pants, but there are also black, khaki, and beige, making a total of four colors available.

What is the appeal of Altus?

It is an outdoor brand of the competence that has been developed since 1986 in Vancouver, Canada. The products that have a European-like smell to the tough manufacturing like American products have become a strong point. There are many items that combine functionality and a sense of fashion, such as this outerwear.

What do you mean by functionality and fashion?

In addition to its easy-to-wear sizing for daily wear, it is also packable for convenience. The key point is the zippers on both sides for ventilation, while also incorporating a sense of the times through the exquisite color blocking. Since it has been updated while retaining the authentic brand's world view, we believe it can be used as a seasonless piece that fits in with a variety of occasions.

What are some of the key points of the outfit?

To match the loose silhouette of the outerwear, we chose wide pants. The overall big silhouette gives a trendy look. Red outerwear may seem gaudy, but this is a deep red, so I think it goes well with fall and winter color items. It is also perfect for traveling in the coming season.

Are there any things you are looking forward to during the summer vacation?

My girlfriend and I will be traveling to Fukuoka for 4 days and 3 nights. We plan to spend some time in the city, Nakasu, and Tenjin areas. Also, the manager from when I joined the company is now at a store in Fukuoka, so I would like to visit him during business hours and see him for a long time.

This is a special-order item made exclusively for ARTAS, inheriting the same authentic world view and values that have remained unchanged throughout the ages. The silhouette created by skilled pattern-making gives you a sense of satisfaction like no other. ¥14,800+TAX (Journal Standard LUMINE Tachikawa store)
