small talk - Vol.03 Goods and their backgrounds

This article (small talk) has not introduced products so far, but I would like to introduce one product in the third installment. A staff member who became acquainted began to say, "That's good." I would appreciate it if you could feel that way.


Personally, I think it's imitating the essence

"If Stephen McQueen was a modern person, what would the vehicle you choose be?" A chat actually held at the store. I felt that the opinion that "a vehicle that can aim for the top in modern races" captured the essence of the situation.

The product introduced in this article is a work jacket that was used on the decks of U.S. Navy ships in the 1940s and 1950s. Unlike the original, the main feature is that each part is a rider's specification.

It is speculated that cold weather performance was coveted on the deck of a military ship where cold winds blew. And winter motorcycle riders may also want cold weather performance.

Details such as the inner ribs are the same as the original. Then, when asked what part is the rider's specification, the most important part is the angle of the sleeves according to the riding posture of the motorcycle.

As for the details, the flap button on the collar, which is the most difficult to fasten, has been changed to a dot button. I feel that this is a thoughtful design.

The inner pocket is my favorite part, so I will post the image. The cut edge of the pocket is designed to reduce the impact on the front.

While following the warm brushed lining, this is a detachable type. I think this is also an excellent feature that benefits the owner.

Men's clothing may have traditional conventions, such as men's clothing that originated from the sea does not require details on horseback.

However, does that idea apply to riders jackets?

Based on US.NAVY's N-1, each part was reconfigured to specifications suitable for motorcycles. I personally think that this is likening the essence.
