. What was the reason you chose this outerwear for this mountain hiking theme?
Nakajima:. First of all, I thought the length was interesting. It has a lofty down jacket design, but it doesn't look like a bench coat. I thought it was rather unique in its unattractive appearance.
How did you feel when you actually tried it on?
Nakajima:It was easier to wear than I expected. The length of the coat means that it is warmer. I paired it with heavy-duty items so that it wouldn't look like a woman's long down coat, and it worked out well. I feel that the brand also goes well with that kind of material.
What do you mean?
Nakajima:JW is a German brand, and Germany is known for its quality and solidity. That's the image my generation has of JW. Also, in the 90's, when the "Shibu-Kaje" style was booming, JW backpacks were all the rage, and they were all designed for heavy-duty use. I had a much stronger impression of JW backpacks back then than I do now.
Do you think the leather vest is the key to coordination?
Nakajima:In terms of color, the key point is that brown is added to the monotone. I recommend adding a natural color to strengthen the sense of field. Another key point is the contrast of materials.
I think it's a mix of different materials. . It's not easy to imitate .......
Nakajima:That's not true. For example, many people wear leather boots when going to the mountains or camping. As for clothing, do you wear cotton for shirts and cut-and-sewns, wool or fleece for middlers, and nylon for outerwear? Surprisingly, everyone does this naturally. However, this time, I added contrasting materials by inserting striking items such as wool pants and a leather vest.
How do the outerwear you wore go with the field?
Nakajima:I think it is sufficient for light trekking or walking. It is made of water-repellent material, so it can handle some rain, and it is also warm to the hips wherever you sit. Also, since it can be worn with the top gusseted, I think it is an ideal piece to wear while enjoying layering, as in this case.
Maybe I'm digressing, but I like the model name too. It reminds me a bit of Fuji Rock or ...... (laughs). I felt a sense of familiarity with that as well.
Jack Wolfskin
This down coat uses "STORMLOCK," an original windproof material, with a high loft of 700FP down that meets RDS standards, and together with its long length, it provides outstanding warmth even in severely cold weather. As sustainability is a matter of course for the German brand, it does not use feathers from birds raised for down, but chooses feathers from the by-products of edible birds. Detail work includes a double-zip front that aids ventilation and height-adjustable buttons on the hood for visibility. Of course, this is a 1001TP10 TPFC-free product, and as is typical of JW, it has been made with the environment in mind.
