Under the theme of "time spent by the lake," the outdoor wear brand "EKAL" proposes to shorten the distance between the city and nature. The name "EKAL" is derived from a word coined from the opposite of the word "lake. EKAL" and "Dickies" will release special order items.
This time, the lineup includes three types of products using Dickies' standard 8.5-ounce TC twill fabric of 65% polyester and 35% cotton. The lineup features a fusion of functionality unique to outdoor wear and details typical of workwear.
Work vest ¥16,500
This zip-up vest is based on the collar design of an award jacket from the Dickies archives. The piping on the waist pockets is a detail that enhances the durability unique to workwear. The lining is made of mesh fabric to ensure good skin contact and breathability. The large pocket on the back side of the front has a high storage capacity and is perfect for storing summer essentials such as hand towels and sunglasses.
Long shorts ¥14,300
Next up are baggy shorts based on Dickies' "42283" half pants. The length is just below the knee, and is in line with the current trend. The waist can be adjusted with a drawcord, making them easy to put on and take off without the need for a belt.
Although it is difficult to convey in the photo, please pay attention to the ingenious design of the pockets. The left buttock pocket is deliberately designed to be closer to the side. It is designed so that the contents do not interfere with each other when you sit down. The loop on the right front pocket is useful for hanging small items.
Wide pants ¥17,050
The last trouser is a wide trouser made of TC twill fabric, which is soft and easy to fit to the body while maintaining the stain and wrinkle resistance of TC twill. 2 tucks and a center press give this trouser an elegant finish despite its work base. On the right front, there is a loop for attaching a carabiner separately from the belt loop, which is another nice feature. (*Only available in women's version.)
The items introduced above will be available from the end of July at "ECAL Roadside Station Venus Line Lake Tateshina Store," some stores that carry "ECAL," and some stores that sell "ECAL" products.URBAN RESEARCH Online StoreThe product will be on sale at It is sure to be useful at festivals, camping, and of course in town.
