Twin stylists and two nangas.

Nobuyuki:. In talking about the design, I heard that military was the design motif. In that respect, first of all, this pocket is just the right accent. It is an item that can be easily incorporated into fashion.

Nobuyuki:Also, I really like the fact that the hood can be removed. It is warmer to have the hood on, but being able to remove the hood gives the wearer a wider variety of ways to wear it. Personally, I prefer to remove the hood for street wear.

Nobuyuki:As for the styling, I personally like clothes with relatively elaborate designs, but the mood of the times was somewhat minimalist or, although I don't really like the term, "quiet luxury," and I chose a one-tone top and bottom as an approach to this trend. I thought the design of this down jacket would fit well with that kind of fashion, so I paired it with wide, long, elegant slacks.

Nobuyuki:Perhaps the slightly shiny, high-tech fabric gives that impression.

Masaaki:. I don't think this feeling existed in the outdoor fashion that was popular when we were young.

Nobuyuki:So I thought it would be interesting to incorporate this down as a modern fashion trend, without being restricted to the outdoors. . So I used brown as a base color, and since the pants have volume both vertically and horizontally, I made the size of the down smaller to balance the silhouette.

Nobuyuki:. When the zipper is closed, it is one tone of brown, but we are conscious of shifting the texture of all items in a pleasant way. For example, to add a slightly different element from the outdoors when the zipper is open, I matched a black mohair knit and a T-shirt inside with a sporty material.

Nobuyuki:I think it's a windproof function, but a tucked-in collar gives a stylish impression. . I wanted to create a minimalist look overall.

Masaaki:Like the "Aurora Down Jacket," I thought this jacket could be worn with my usual outfit without being conscious of the outdoors. It has a very simple appearance and I felt it was simply fashionable, so I wore it with my usual style...overalls this time. . There is no need to think about whether or not it goes with down or not. Down has already become a common item, compared to when we first fell in love with outdoor fashion in the late 90s to around 2000.

Masaaki:This fabric has this volume, design, and high-tech feel. For example, in terms of design, there are no stitches on the surface to separate the down chambers, and this seamless look is smart. I like the fact that it can be worn like a jacket, without the need to be enthusiastic about wearing down. It is enough for anyone to match it with his or her usual outfit. In my case, I chose a large size, and I think it ended up looking fashionable. It is not an outdoor item, but an item in a larger category of jackets.

Masaaki:The front is also easy to open and close with snap buttons, so it is easy to open and close at once.

Nobuyuki:. yes, yes. I like the fact that the zipper is not a double zip, but a snap button on the other side. Sometimes it's a hassle to zip it closed.

Masaaki:The first thing I felt when I put the sleeves on was the lightness. It was as light as wearing a jacket. I didn't really feel like I was wearing down.

Masaaki:It was easy to move around and wasn't hot even when I moved around a bit. I was told that the fabric is Aurora Light, which is waterproof and breathable, so I guess that helps.

Nobuyuki:This down is just so lightweight that it felt great to wear. Like an outdoor brand, I guess they make it extremely thin to the point where it is not a problem to use. I think that's what makes it so comfortable to wear.
