HEART-WARMING LIFE-TECH WEAR #19 "12D Nylon Ripstop"

This feature focuses on the functionality of nanamica
This time, we’re highlighting the field jacket made from 2.5-layer 12D nylon ripstop.
Cold blasts of A/C, blazing midsummer heat, and sudden downpours—early summer’s unpredictability calls for a reliable outer layer. This field jacket, crafted from 2.5-layer 12D nylon ripstop, blends the ruggedness of military wear with sleek, urban utility. Lightweight and easy to throw on, it transitions effortlessly between city and outdoor settings. Add it to your wardrobe, and you’ll be ready to handle the season’s mood swings with ease.
More casual than a shirt and more protective against rain and wind, this field jacket’s appeal lies in its versatility. With unexpected showers around the corner, it’s a piece you’ll be glad to have on hand. The light fabric makes it perfect for pairing with shorts in this transitional season.

Ripstop fabric, known for its tear resistance, is often used in military wear.
Nanamica has taken that toughness and applied it to a feather-light 2.5-layer 12D nylon ripstop.
Incredibly lightweight and highly water-repellent, it’s a dependable piece for everyday wear.

Furthermore, the lining has been treated with a special coating that keeps the fabric feeling dry, even on humid or sweaty days. This prevents stuffiness and stickiness, allowing for a stress-free wear. It’s not just about the fabric—the piece is also packed with nanamica’s signature thoughtful details. Next, let’s take a closer look at those carefully crafted design elements.

To prevent rain and wind from entering through the neckline, snap buttons are placed on the collar. This detail goes beyond pure functionality — converting it into a stand collar subtly changes the silhouette, giving the overall look a sharper impression. It’s a smart two-in-one feature that balances weather protection with a style accent.

Additionally, the cuffs are equipped with elastic cords, allowing you to adjust the fit to your preference. Even if you opt for an oversized silhouette, the sleeves stay tidy around the wrists, letting you wear it with a clean, streamlined look — another key feature of its appeal.

The sides and sleeves feature stitching with prominent puckering, creating natural creases along the seams. This subtle detail adds a hint of ruggedness to the overall look.

One of the highlights of the field jacket is its ample storage. The gusseted pockets offer generous capacity, while the inside features a pen slot and key loop—making it as practical as it is stylish.

What’s more, the elastic tape at the right hem allows the jacket to be packed down compactly. Since the fabric resists wrinkling, it’s ideal not only for rainy days but also for travel and business trips. Its ability to stay out of the way until needed—and then perform on demand—is what truly sets this jacket apart.

The jacket is available in two color options: dark navy and black. At first glance, they may seem nearly identical—but place them side by side, and the difference is striking. The dark navy is on the left, while the black version featured here is on the right.
Though minimalist and easy to wear for everyday life, this jacket is designed to adapt to sudden weather changes—like unexpected downpours or shifts in temperature from morning to night. It’s the kind of dependable companion you’ll be glad to have on hand when you need it most.
