Last year's "DECK JACKET - HALFTEX" received a great response.
Although it wasn't featured in our catalogs, this season we will be releasing a new colour, "Khaki," as a direct store exclusive model.

This product's notable features are its excellent design and functionality.
Inspired by vintage military design, it features U.S. Navy-inspired clip parts, oval-shaped flap pockets, and a contrasting design that evokes the brand's signature style.
The design is so beautiful that it creates a look that looks like you're wearing a single layer.
The lining is made of lightweight, warm polyester fleece, ensuring stress-free warmth.
What's amazing about this product is that, despite its design and functionality, it's made entirely of nylon and polyester, without using cotton or wool.
This may be a bit of an oddity for Nigel Cabourn, which specialises in creating products using natural fibres, but it still has a strong brand identity, which is why it's so well-received by many Nigel Cabourn enthusiasts.
We've also paid close attention to the fabric used in this product.
The upper part is made of Nigel Cabourn's original fabric, HALFTEX.
Despite its appearance, it's actually 100% nylon.
To make HALFTEX, long-staple nylon yarn is first cut into short fibers, the same as cotton.
Then, by making these short fibres hollow, we have achieved a texture that is as close to cotton as possible.
Through this process, the nylon takes on a matte texture like cotton and is transformed into a fabric that is about half the weight of cotton, resulting in a special fabric that you can enjoy even as it changes colour over time.
Even among professionals, there are probably not many who would be able to tell it's nylon at a glance. That's how high the quality is.
In contrast, the lower part is made of more technical "polyester."
Polyester is resistant to abrasion and shape deformation, so it is often used in outdoor and sportswear.
In the case of this product, the lower part contains pockets, which are subject to stress on the fabric, so this choice of fabric is very rational.
Height: 187cm / Wearing Size: 54
Previous models featured a single tone for the upper and lower parts, but this season we're offering a contrasting "Khaki x Green" tone.
While still within the same military context, the result is a more three-dimensional, deeper look.
This slight difference in tone adds an accent and inspiration to your styling.
Everyone will be surprised by how light and warm this product is the moment you put it on, so we hope you'll experience it for yourself.
Please keep an eye out for the DECK JACKET - HALFTEX, which is only available at our direct stores.
We look forward to your visit and inquiries.
