JACKET FOCUS AUTUMN/WINTER 18

As the season's shift and days become shorter, a change in wardrobe is born out of a necessity to face the elements. At Norse Store, we are forever in the pursuit of offering the best products from around the world, as well as introducing our customers to garments we feel can serve a purpose in one's life.

In our latest product focus, we present a concise selection of jackets, coats, windbreakers and everything else in between — for all seasons.

A.P.C.
MANTEAU GEORGE

Constructed from an Italian light tweed, the water repellant Manteau George coat is an exceptional garment in both quality and styling. The loose fitting coat comes ready with a removable button on hood allowing for an even more unmistakable trench coat style silhouette.

A contemporary approach is applied to an otherwise classic piece with the application of raglan sleeves, raglan pockets with wide piping and a piped vertical inside pocket.

ARCTERYX VEILANCE
ISOGON MX JACKET

Character is evident in the wind and water resistant Arc'teryx Veilance Isogon Mx ( Mx standing for 'mixed conditions') jacket. Offered in the in-house developed Burly™ Double Weave fabric, with an additional DWR (Durable Water Repellant) finish for extra weather protection, this highly efficient soft shell is composed of two interlocking stretch weaves; a smooth, weather-shedding face and a polyester moisture wicking liner weave. Fibres are then brushed resulting in a smooth texture for next to skin comfort.

Attention to detail on the Isogon Mx is visually evident with the articulated sleeves boasting stretch woven panels at the cuffs. The form-fitting StormHood™ with a rear vertical adjustor and brim adjustor round out this dynamic rendition of a classic windbreaker.

ARCTERYX VEILANCE
MONITOR DOWN TW COAT

A new iteration of a classic silhouette, the Monitor Down TW Coat by Arc'teryx Veilance extends the clout of the well-known Monitor Jacket for this current AW18 season. Unique to this coat is the twill weave fibres, simulating the appearance of wool, in waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX®, exhibiting a familiar union of the traditional and the technical.

Internally, we see Down Composite Mapping™ containing lightweight 850 Fill European goose down insulation; offering the wearer supreme heat retention in the bleakest conditions. Supplemental protection if offered with an improved insulated StormHood™ featuring a hidden cord adjustment system, and distinct taped seams throughout the entirety of the jacket.

JUNYA WATANABE MAN
TNF x GORE WINDSTOPPER JACKET

The Gore Windstopper Jacket by Junya Watanabe x The North Face connects all of the designers' typical allusions of menswear, forging his reputation as an innovator.

Providing a slightly longer shape, similar to that of a trench or duffle, the coat is made out of GORE® WINDSTOPPER® fabric. The windproof, yet breathable membrane prevents the wind from seeping in, and allows vapour to escape. The fabric's outer layer treatment also provides water repellency, making the Gore Windstopper Jacket perfect for light showers in damp climates. Additional details include a reflective safety band around the lower body and contrasting blue netting fabric in the interior.

NANAMICA
CRUISER JACKET

The lightweight Cruiser Jacket returns for Autumn Winter 18 and redelivers strong elements of a classic outerwear silhouette produced with technical sensibilities. The reflection of Eiichiro Homma's design philosophy is deliberate and noticeable with the Cruiser, and one need only look back at Homma's archive of work with North Face, Helly Hansen and GOLDWIN INC to see.

Cut with a relaxed fit the Cruiser Jacket features four button flapped pockets with press-stud closures, zip closures coupled with branded buttons and an adjustable hood to protect against the urban elements.

NANAMICA
DOWN COAT

Combining a thorough knowledge of innovative textiles and over two decades of experience in the apparel industry grants Eiichiro Homma an upper-hand when it comes to producing outerwear under his label, nanamica. The attention to craftsmanship is consistent each season with the signature Down Coat, a nanamica staple each autumn and winter season.

Like many nanamica pieces, the finest elements lay in the details, and one of the most unique features of this jacket is the Kodenshi® Down filling. Kodenshi® creates a human-body friendly environment that allows one to maintain a level of comfortable body temperature, important in fluctuating climates. The superior heat retention allows the outerwear fabric to be thinner, which creates a lighter parka overall.

NORSE PROJECTS
ANKER RAIN

Produced by the traditional Danish rainwear manufacturer, Elka Regntøj, the Norse Projects Anker Rain Classic is an excellent option for extreme weather. Cut from traditional PVC raincoat material, the heat ironed seams offer additional waterproofing and all-around better protection for harsher conditions.

Additional details include a press stud concealed zip closure, press stud pockets, ventilation holes cut on the inside storm flap, all encapsulated in a classic, timeless style.

NORSE PROJECTS
NUNK WAXED COTTON

The Nunk Waxed Cotton jacket serves as an elevated rendering of a conventional hunting jacket. By applying a contemporary approach to a timeless classic, the construction of the Nunk features authentic British Millerain waxed cotton on the exterior, while being insulated with Primaloft® Gold — a soft, down-like polyester that is both breathable and water resistant.

A handy storm flap with Cobrax Snap Button Closures, and a fully adjustable drawstring hood and waistband round out the details.

TEÄTORA
SOUVENIR HUNTER SL

“Designed for travellers" — the Souvenir Hunter jacket by Teätora serves as an exercise in precision, craftsmanship and pure utility. The Japanese label has quickly built a reputation producing high-quality urban wear by adopting a rigorous approach to function and design resulting in highly intricate garment deprived of any ostentatious components.

A large silhouette allows for ample mobility and comfort, allowing it to be worn over bulkier garments. Added features include a built-in front-hip pocket with a fastener designed for storing cards and smartphones, a souvenir pocket which is a set of three built-in fastened pockets for passports, tickets, cards etc.
Most notable is a signature packable pouch placed within the interior allows the jacket to be packed down tightly and stored securely. The colour, German Olive, is an exclusive colour only available at Japanese store Silver & Gold, the Teätora flagship store and Norse Store.
