NANGAEstablished in 1941 in Maibara, Shiga Prefecture, NANGA is a Japanese brand specializing in down products. With a steadfast commitment to domestic production, the brand uses high-quality, safe down feathers and innovative sewing techniques. Known as a leading winter down outerwear brand in Japan.Flame-Resistant Fabric by NANGAAutumn and winter outdoor activities often include gathering around a campfire. However, sparks can pose a risk to nylon-based outerwear, causing holes and damage. Addressing this concern, NANGA developed the HINOC series using its proprietary flame-resistant fabric.Material Used in Firefighting Suits and Gloves The outer material is made of polyester blended with "Kevlar," achieving high flame resistance. The outer material combines polyester with "Kevlar" to achieve high flame resistance. Its main characteristics are high strength and high elasticity, but it also has a wide range of capabilities including flame resistance and heat resistance, which is why it is used in firefighting suits and gloves as well. ※This product uses a special fabric that is prone to pilling due to friction during use. Please understand this as a characteristic of the product. If pilling occurs, we recommend using a lint remover for maintenance. ※This is not a non-combustible material, so please be cautious of prolonged exposure to sparks. Warmth Perfectly Suited to Japanese WintersThe down filling consists of high-quality Spanish white duck down. Its exceptional insulation and elasticity result from the ducks being raised over extended periods in spacious environments. This ensures comfort and warmth tailored to Japan’s winter climate without unnecessary bulk or overperformance.The Reason Behind the Non-Pack ConstructionNANGA's unique "non-pack construction" directly inserts down and feathers between the outer and inner layers. This approach prioritizes lightweight design and aesthetic appeal, enabling minimalistic silhouettes.Note: It’s normal for some feathers to adhere to the fabric or escape through seams; this is an inherent feature of the manufacturing process and not a defect.The collar is designed slightly wider, providing a relaxed look and comfortable wear without feeling constrictive, even when buttoned.Snap-closure pockets on both sides offer ample storage, making this jacket ideal for outings without the need for a bag. Ribbed cuffs effectively block wind, enhancing overall warmth.The hem features a subtle rounded cut, adding a touch of style and effortless coordination to your outfit.Versatility for Various ScenariosWith 60g of padding, equivalent to an inner down jacket, this piece is less insulated than NANGA’s Aurora Down Jacket but functions excellently as a mid-layer. Its compact, streamlined design ensures ease of movement, making it suitable for active lifestyles.The moderate thickness and simple shirt-style collar adapt seamlessly to both casual and formal settings, offering a sleek silhouette without a bulky appearance.
