GORE-TEX coat by Nanamica, do you know it?
VOL.4 To make it my coat of a lifetime.

A series of articles on "NANAMICA" with illustrations by popular illustrator stomachache. NANAMICA has established a one-of-a-kind status by combining functional materials cultivated through outdoor activities with designs suitable for daily use. The GORE-TEX coat has been released every year as a standard item. The theme of the last issue is about the repair of this coat. Because of its authentic design, this coat can be worn for a long time. However, if you wear it for a long time, it will get tired, and of course, there will be holes in it due to snagging or other accidents. It would be a shame to part with this coat just because of that. Therefore, we would like to introduce a variety of repair techniques to help you avoid such a situation.

Previously.

Nana, a fashion lover, bought a Balmacaan coat from NANA MICA, which is made of 2-layer Gore-Tex fabric. On the other hand, Mika, a businessman, bought a stainless-steel collared coat, which has three layers of Gore-Tex fabric. We have introduced the differences between the two coats, and what the characteristics of GORE-TEX fabric really are.

A design that transcends trends and can be worn for a long time.

It is said that the Balmacaan coat was created in Scotland as a raincoat before the 1850s, or more than 150 years ago. Although some details have been updated, there is not much difference between the Balmacaan coat of that time and the Balmacaan coat of today. It is such an authentic design. It is a design that will not go out of style in the next 10 to 20 years, and transcends trends. Moreover, it suits everyone, regardless of age or sex. It must be cool to see a person wearing a 20-year-old coat that he or she has grown up wearing.

All-around repair of Nanamica.

【 Sleeve Closure]
NANA MICAH" is a global size, so the sleeves are relatively long. You want to look cool, but if the sleeves are too loose, you will look a mess. We recommend that you use our "NANAMICA" sleeve patching service to get the sleeves just the right size. Sleeve tabs can be moved, so you can still wear your sleeves tight, and I recommend that you get rid of rolled-up sleeves as soon as possible.

After prolonged use, the cuffs can become worn and tired, and in severe cases, holes can appear, revealing the Gore-Tex membrane that is supposed to be invisible. Why not try replacing only the cuffs with new ones at a repair shop?

If you find yourself wearing clothes that have been snagged and have holes in them, it is so embarrassing that you want to get in if there is a hole. If you find a hole in your coat due to a cigarette fire or a snag, please run to "Nanamika". We will repair the hole with an applied cloth so that it blends in with the original fabric and the hole is not noticeable.

【 length】
Today, diversity is the name of the game, and the human body is diverse as well. Some people like to wear their coats below the knee, while others like to wear them above the knee. At NANA MICAH, we can make coats as long as you like (we cannot extend the length!). So you can wear the coat length you like and enjoy it to the fullest. NANA MICAH can handle a wide variety of coats.

*The amount of repair depends on the condition.
For more information, please contact NANAMICA stores orOnline Storefor more information.

Wearing it for a long time is the ultimate in sustainability .

We buy clothes made of materials that are good for the earth's environment one after another.... . I'm not sure if that's good for the environment or bad for the environment after all. It could be a story for a rakugo comic story. The ultimate sustainable thing to do is to use clothes that you love for a long time. I think this is it. And, after all, people who have been using "my standard" items for many years have a cool style. Let's start a 20-year plan for your own GORE-TEX coat, Nanamica!
