IHJ-17 - Quilted Primaloft Western Shirt/Jacket

[Megatron1505]

Whats the outer made from G? Any sort of water repellence ?

[Giles]

It's a quilted nylon.  Not waterproof, really designed as a cold but not wet weather (or mid layer) item.  If it does get wet though, has amazing thermal qualities…....

[Megatron1505]

Thanks G, I was told that the advantage of Primaloft over Down is that it retains its thermal properties (or 90% of them), even when wet.

Finally! Perfect timing too - starting to get cold over here

[Giles]

Z, you will look absolutely ace in one of these…..Good call

In the production model, is the collar navy?

[Giles]

The above is a production shirt.  But will not know for certain whether that is a colour cast or not until they turn up….

[joesaintjohn]

Hmmm…not sure how I feel about that. Fingers crossed.

[Giles]

All blacks have some "colour" to them…..

Is that a subtly racist passive aggressive New Zealand rugby dig?

[Giles]

I love laughing out loud.  Thanks….

I guess it's the same outer as the 08, so it have some water repellence to a certain point

[Giles]

And Primaloft itself has very good water repellent properties….

(spelling correction - MB)

right, def a very very good working material…

^Yes!  Nice find, rocket.  This shacket looks awesome.  I really hope that it's black, like the photo above, and not navy, as it's appeared in other photos.  Regardless, it's a great looking piece.

the JP site says ネイビー (Navy), but lets just wait till it is in Europe, things might change…

I love shirt jacs. I would get this in a heartbeat but the price is too high for me. I think the cost of this material must be the reason because a couple of other companies I've seen with similar jackets(Wings+Horns x Monocle collab https://monocle.com/shop/clothing/wings-horns-jacket/ ) are around the same price.
