About Cloud Cotton ウィンタージャケットコレクション

「クラウドコットン」は軽量ウィンタージャケットのコレクションです。本コレクションには、37パーセントをトウモロコシ由来の糖など再生可能な植物資源から得たデュポン社のバイオベース繊維「ソロナ」を採用しています。三次元的なクリンプ（捲縮）構造が安定した空気層を形成して熱を保持し、中空・低密度の繊維により、従来のコットンジャケットと比べて生地重量を約30パーセント軽減しました。耐久撥水加工とシームテープ処理が water の浸入を抑えます。一体型フード、隠しドローコード入りのテーパードした裾、隠しポケットが、ゆとりのあるHラインのカッティングを引き立てています。

Unique Properties: This collection harmonizes warmth and lightness. It uses the DuPont Sorona bio based fiber with a unique structure that delivers lightweight comfort, softness, and efficient thermal insulation. Through advanced filling techniques and 3D ergonomic tailoring, it maintains a plush, warm feel while significantly reducing total weight. The result is a seamless balance of protection, freedom of movement, and everyday style, freeing winter wear from unnecessary bulk.
Dimensions & Packaging: Various different sizes

Production Technology: The design uses the DuPont Sorona bio based fiber, 37 percent of which comes from renewable plant sources like corn sugar. Its 3D crimp structure forms stable air pockets to lock in heat, and an intelligent thermal regulating fiber system ensures comfort from minus 5 degrees Celsius to 15 degrees Celsius. Hollow fibers with low density cut fabric weight by about 30 percent compared to conventional cotton jackets.
A durable water repellent finish and taped critical seams prevent water penetration.
Design Challenge: To unite outdoor protection with urban aesthetics, this collection uses the DuPont Sorona bio based fiber for high resilience, softness, skin friendliness, and durability. Pre shrinking and high temperature calendering create a subtle crinkle texture that enhances quality and wrinkle resistance. A relaxed H line cut with dropped shoulders offers ease of movement and an effortless look, refined by clean seam lines and contrast topstitching to add dimension and harmonize functionality with style.
Research: Designed to balance warmth and lightness, this collection uses the DuPont Sorona bio based fabric for high resilience, softness, lightweight comfort, and effective insulation. Optimized fill and tailoring create a feel as light and comfortable as a cloud. Combined with a durable water repellent finish, taped seams, and wrinkle resistance, the design ensures versatile adaptability across diverse scenarios, whether navigating city life or exploring the great outdoors.
Inspiration: Traditional cotton jackets force a compromise. Greater insulation means heavier fill, causing bulk and restricted movement. Lighter designs, in contrast, tend to lack adequate warmth. This collection resolves the conflict by using the DuPont Sorona bio based fiber, an innovative construction, and refined craftsmanship. It ensures warmth and lightness while delivering wind resistance and durable water repellency in changing conditions, offering a more comfortable, stylish winter wear experience.
Project Duration: The team kicked off design and development for this collection in Huzhou, Zhejiang, China on May 1, 2023, and wrapped it up on December 31, 2025.
Operation Flow: The integrated hood boosts volume and coziness, finished with a soft elastic binding that seals out wind.
A gently tapered hem improves body proportions and features hidden drawcords for an adjustable fit across different body shapes, striking a balance between outdoor protection and everyday slimming appeal.
Hidden pockets hold essentials without compromising clean aesthetics or practicality.
