The North Face and Undercover, Part 1. How will this first collaboration, which combines technology and wisdom, come together?

Am I the only one who is already sensing the birth of a great collaboration? Although it is the first time for both companies to work together, their synchronization is outstanding. This is the kind of lineup that makes me suddenly look forward to winter.

Brand.THE NORTH FACE” and “UNDERCOVER〉.

While rooted in the realms of outdoor and fashion, respectively, they work to create a brand that incorporates a variety of cultures. This collaboration is a perfect example of this relentless spirit of exploration.

SOUKUUU" is a concept that Jun Takahashi, a designer at Undercover, came up with for this project. He found this word in the "balance between tranquility and chaos.

The North Face's cutting-edge outdoor technology is reinterpreted by Undercover from a unique perspective to create products. Let us explain the main items.

UNDERCOVER CLOUD DOWN NUPSTE
¥143,000
Color: gray, red, navy

First, this down jacket encases 800-fill-power "ProDown," which is resistant to wetness, and has a high heat-retaining effect. The cloud baffle, which does not require a down box, reduces the occurrence of cold spots.

The sleeves can be detached with the zipper and worn as a vest, and the size of the hood can be adjusted with the adjuster. It is also adjustable to suit your mood and temperature. The outer fabric is treated with a water repellent finish, so it can be used in tough situations.

UNDERCOVER 50/50 MOUNTAIN JACKET
JPY132,000
Color: Gray, Navy

Next, a down jacket that exquisitely combines two contradictory functions, "breathability" and "warmth retention. The tubular down baffle is filled with 800 fill Pro Down™, which has excellent warmth retention and compressibility, and the outer fabric has a durable water repellent finish. It features an alpine-style chest pocket for secure storage and multiple logo placement. This is a piece of clothing that shows off the unique use of materials.

UNDERCOVER GEODESIC SHELL JACKET
¥121,000
Color: Brown, Black, Red

Don't miss the three-layer waterproof jacket in the iconic geodesic pattern. It has multiple secure zip pockets and adjustable hood, waist, and cuffs. The North Face's original waterproof and breathable fabric is used in a design similar to a mod coat, and the length can be adjusted with snap buttons. The color combination also reflects the world view of both companies.

UNDERCOVER FUTUREFLEECE L/S CREW
¥41,800
Color: brown, black

This is a base layer made of thin fleece with heat retention properties. The pattern design of the arms is three-dimensional for ease of movement. It features thumbholes at the cuffs and multiple logo placement, and can be easily stored and carried in a stuff sack. The thimble makes it an excellent inner layer for harsh outdoor conditions.

UNDERCOVER DotKnit T-SHIRT
28,600 yen
Color: brown, black

Also check out the oversized tees made of heavyweight dot knit fabric. The fabric has a double-faced construction with a water-repellent dry layer on the skin surface and a water-absorbing layer on the surface that quickly diffuses and dries perspiration. Even if you sweat, it smoothly absorbs and transfers water to the fabric surface to promote drying. The fabric stands up beautifully and is a piece that can be worn as a mainstay.

The two parties must be able to align their strengths, achieve the highest level of each, and yet work in harmony with each other. It is no mean feat.

The collection will go on sale on October 26 (Thu.) at the respective stores and e-commerce sites. Don't miss out on this collaboration that is sure to make a mark in fashion history.
