nanamica's GORE-TEX Coat

GORE-TEX coat by Nanamica, do you know it?
vol.1 High-spec coats encountered in Daikanyama.

This is a series of articles on NANAMICA, with illustrations by popular illustrator stomachache. NANAMICA has established a one-of-a-kind status by combining functional materials cultivated through outdoor activities with designs suitable for daily use. As the first of a four-part Series, we take a look at two GORE-TEX coats, which are released every year as standard items.

Fashion lover "Nana-kun" and his 2-layer coat.

Nana is a fashionista. However, she does not want to jump on the trend. Rather than being fired up by collaborations, limited editions, and sell-outs...... intuitive killer words and buying them all, I'd rather collect my own personal staples, the ones that I know are the best. You can have a small wardrobe, but the more information you have, the better. I am always on the lookout for long-lasting quality and design, and I patrol everything from magazines to the Internet on a daily basis.

Thus, I was flipping through a fashion YouTube show, where he introduced a GORE-TEX coat by "Nanamica".

This youtuber, apparently, introduces it as a "breathing coat" in reference to a recent hit cartoon about hunting demons. While I'm a bit fed up with his sense of style, I'm still interested in the fact that the coat itself is waterproof even though it looks like cotton 100%, the basic design and A-line silhouette, and the coloring that looks like it could be used on a daily basis. Hmmm .......

If you're curious, you can't stay put. Located in Daikanyama, "nanamica TOKYOI went to "nanamica DAIKANYAMA". Nanamica DAIKANYAMA" is also nearby, but today we are in TOKYO. On the way home, I may stop by Daikanyama Tsutaya after a long time.

I was aiming for a coat made of GORE-TEX material. According to the staff, there are several types of coats made of GORE-TEX material. The coat I saw on YouTube had an impressive deep blue check lining against the beige outer fabric. Moreover, it was made of cool cotton/COOLMAX®. The outer fabric of the coat is cotton 100%, which is exactly the look we were looking for. Furthermore, NANAMICA is said to be the only company in the world that can make a GORE-TEX coat with a cotton 100% outer fabric. The staff's talk about GORE-TEX shows that it has outstanding waterproofing and breathability, so the nickname "a coat that breathes" is not entirely wrong. Sorry, youtubers.

GORE-TEX Balmacaan Coat ¥121,000 in TAX

Single sleeve Balmacaan coat with A-line silhouette. The outer fabric is 2L Cotton Twill GORE-TEX Fabrics, a waterproof and breathable material made of high-density yarn-dyed twill, and the lining is a checked cotton/COOLMAX® material in the brand's colors. The functional fabrics are made to match the modern urban lifestyle, while focusing on expression and detailing as a fashion item.
