Because the kapok sheet itself is a very thin and light material,
KAPOK KNOT's quilted jacket is very compact.
It also has the warmth of a down jacket .
In addition, where conventional armholes tend to be stiff,
Pursuing how comfortable it can be, we devised patterns.
After repeated trial and error with craftsmen,
We have succeeded in establishing a pattern where hardness is not an issue.

This is a piece that you can enjoy.

Even compared to other KAPOK KNOT products,
More “thinness” and of course kapok
This outerwear will give you a sense of warmth.

Make smart choices.
