About Bannou Sadetakki

Joka sään monipuolinen takki on muotoilun mestariteos, joka tasapainottaa täydellisesti toimivuuden ja tyylin. Siinä on vaikuttavia ominaisuuksia, kuten vedenpitävyys, hengittävyys ja tuulenpitävyys, joten se sopii kaikkiin sääolosuhteisiin. Laadukkaiden materiaalien käyttö antaa sille ylellisen tekstuurin, joka sopii täydellisesti muodollisiin tilaisuuksiin, mutta se voidaan myös pukea rennon ilmeen lisäämällä tai poistamalla irrotettava huppu. Perinteinen siluetti moderneilla aksenteilla on ajaton muotoilu, jota voidaan käyttää missä tahansa ympäristössä, myös liike-elämässä.

Unique Properties: The name of the coat "Bannou" means versatility in Japanese. The concept of "a raincoat to be worn on a 'Harenohi'" has 2 meanings. The first is "a raincoat to be worn on "sunny days (harenohi)", which can be used as a normal coat without getting stuffy on sunny days. The second is "a raincoat to be worn on "special occasions (Harenohi)". It is made of high-grade materials and has a formal silhouette so that it can be worn on special occasions.
Dimensions & Packaging: Size:M,L,XL / Color:Black,Navy,Beige / Water Pressure Resistance:20,000 mm / Moisture Permeability:8,000 g/m2/24hr
Tags: Coat, Raincoat, Macintosh, Balmacaan Coat, Waterproof Coat
Production Technology: Our goal was to create this coat that could be worn over a suit as a normal coat (not recognizable as a raincoat). Therefore, we chose a fabric with high moisture permeability (8,000g/m2/24hr) and water pressure resistance (20,000mm), while focusing on the texture of the material. The zipper is a concealed type, and the hood is removable for formal use. To prevent the zipper from being seen, the front portion and the joint with the hood are ingeniously designed.
Design Challenge: The structure of the detachable hood is designed to hide the zipper at the joint of the hood. The thickness of the overlapping fabrics made sewing difficult, and the structure was changed many times before reaching the present structure.
By making the hood detachable, it can be worn on formal occasions, and by completely concealing the zipper at the joint, it can be worn with the collar up.
The zipper would look casual if it were visible. We have made it so that the zipper is not visible even when worn unbuttoned.
Research: We have confirmed there are several raincoats on the market with a similar concept, but they have visible zippers (or were never intended to be hidden in the first place), the hood is not removable, and the texture of the material is very nylon-like, which we feel does not completely hide the fact that it is a raincoat we feel they do not completely hide the fact that it is a raincoat. This item differs from these in that the material texture, silhouette, and details (such as the zipper being concealed) are carefully selected to make it look like an ordinary coat from the outside.
Inspiration: The two conditions for wearing a raincoat are 1) It is raining and 2) You have a raincoat at that time, but since 2) You have a raincoat at that time cannot be satisfied, we thought there would be few opportunities to wear a raincoat. Therefore, we thought if we could wear it on usually without getting steamed up, it would be convenient when it comes time to wear a raincoat. An outdoor jacket would satisfy the requirement, but there are not many stylish and formal types on the market.
