A Japanese brand of mode fashion, focusing on materials, comfort, and design.【UNITED TOKYO】
This section introduces the sizing, stretchability, and texture of jackets made of “Outlast material,” the most popular material series among them.
What about size and sizing?
What about sleeve length?
To be honest, I felt the size was too big. (Especially the sleeves)
I am 169cm tall and my arm length is about 173cm, but the sleeves were quite extra.
Since this jacket was originally designed to be worn loosely, it seems to be made larger.
I had the sleeves stuffed 4 cm at a nearby clothing alteration store.
However, the material is wrinkle-resistant and soft, and the length can be adjusted by rolling up the arms or folding the hem inward twice.
How about the length?
The length is just right for size 1 if you are 169cm tall (about 170cm).
It’s hard to tell in the dark, but the length is just halfway up the hips.
It is a very useful length for a jacket.
If you want a loose fit, you can choose another size up, but I am a just-fit kind of person, so I chose the smallest size.
It is true to size, but the stretchiness of the fabric itself makes it quite comfortable to wear.
So what kind of material is used in the Outlast 2-Button Jacket?
I took a picture of the composition label and will post it.
What kind of material is Outlast?
Outlast materials are fabrics that have the ability to sense body heat and control the surface temperature of the skin, which is neither too hot nor too cold and is the most comfortable for humans.
This patented technology is also used in NASA space suits, and the fabric is woven in Bishu, Japan’s largest woolen textile production area.
The materials are.
48% polyester/48% rayon/4% polyurethane
All of these materials are synthetic fibers and are machine washable.
(If washing in a washing machine, wash gently on dry or soft setting with short dewatering times.)
Stretchable and easy to move
Finally, we introduce the material and stretch properties.
Compared to jackets made of ordinary cotton or polyester materials, these jackets are much softer and stretchier, so they do not restrict movement.
Honestly, this is the level of comfort that allows me to do sports as it is. (It would be a shame to do so, but…)
When you actually pull it, it looks like this ↓.
It also stretches horizontally, but especially well vertically.
There is no feeling of sticking when lifting the shoulders or rotating the arms, and the fit is comfortable enough to play tennis with ease.
summary
Outlast 2-button jackets is
- Easy to maintain
- Stretchable
- Luxury
- Comfortable
This jacket has all of the above features.
Although the price is a little expensive at 22,000 yen, it is a “good buy” considering the many occasions in which it can be used and how easy it is to handle.
As for the size, the sleeves are made longer, so those who want to shorten the sleeves should have them filled at a nearby clothing repair shop.
Sleeve stuffing can be done for about 3,000 yen. (I wonder if it’s cheaper because there are no sleeve buttons?)
The look and material are easy to use in all seasons, so one piece of clothing is quite useful.
It’s also wrinkle resistant, so if it gets in the way, just shove it in your bag and you’re good to go!
It can be worn for any occasion, whether it is a normal outing, a date, or a party.
