The North Face Purple Label mountain parka with a hint of nostalgia. Exclusive to Monkey Time.

There are things that we see for the first time but feel nostalgic about. I think that, for the most part, people remember such things with a sense of longing or liking rather than disliking them.

The North Face Purple Label's mountain parka, an exclusive for "monkey time," is just like that.

Mountain parka ¥39,600 each

Available in two bi-colors, green for fade colors and black for darker colors, this mountain parka was made of indigo-dyed synthetic fabric and taslan polyester taffeta.

The low-tech look of the shells before the current high-spec shells were invented makes them easy to wear on the street, and they can also be used outdoors. I have a feeling that this retro outdoorsy look may even cause a stir in the recent camping boom. Yes, this is the most convenient for casual use in the city or in the mountains.

The somewhat lovely balance is that the length was shortened in reference to the American military N-2B. It looks best when worn, so take a look at the look below for your consideration.
