mid winter alpinist with nanga

A down jacket made in collaboration with NANGA.
Front buttons make it easy to wear as everyday outerwear, while functional details — a drawcord hem, zippered pockets — are placed throughout.
One of the concepts running through SHINYAKOZUKA's collection this season is giving inorganic objects an organic connection, in the spirit of the phrase "a glove is a home, a lighthouse."
Here, that idea is applied to the down jacket, a purely functional item, through "picture-like" embroidered stitching worked in a thick-gauge thread — an attempt to give the garment an organic warmth, as if it also worked as a canvas, beyond its function as an inorganic down jacket.
The fabric is a 15-denier ripstop nylon: an extremely fine yarn that makes it ultra-lightweight while remaining durable and water-resistant.
The down is a high-quality recycled down, cleaned and re-refined from reclaimed down.
