With only a little time left in the year, the cold days continue, making outerwear a necessity wherever you go.
Choosing outerwear, which is never a cheap purchase, often leads to careful consideration. Many people are struggling to find an outerwear piece that they can use for a long time and feel confident in.
From a wide range of children’s clothing, I would like to introduce the “KAPOK” outerwear from ARCH&LINE, a brand that we can confidently recommend, embodying the spirit of its creators.
What is kapok?
You might have started to hear about “KAPOK material” here and there, but there are still many people who have never heard of it!
The natural material “KAPOK,” made from the cotton obtained from the seeds of trees, is currently gaining attention in the apparel industry as an ethical material that is kind to both people and the planet.
1. It’s incredibly light.
Its lightness is about one-eighth that of cotton.
The secret to its feather-like lightness lies in the fibers, which have hollow, straw-like structures inside!
2. Excellent thermal insulation
Known as “tree-borne down” due to its excellent thermal insulation, kapok has a moisture-absorbing and heat-generating function that makes it warmer as it absorbs humidity.
3. Environmentally friendly ethical material
Kapok, which uses seeds from trees, does not require deforestation. It grows with little water, doesn’t need strong pesticides, and most importantly, unlike down that uses feathers from waterfowl, it is animal-free.
The outerwear from ARCH&LINE made with the attractive “KAPOK” material is not just about the fabric. It’s designed with careful consideration to be worn for a long time by everyone, from children to adults, and in various situations, featuring an abundance of thoughtful details.
“Styling can be freely adjusted according to the scene and temperature.“
It’s usable anytime, anywhere. Such outerwear is hard to find!
Reversible
The outer fabric features a matte texture with loofah quilting. The reverse side has a simple design without quilting. The matte surface is suitable for formal occasions. Additionally, the outer material has been treated with a fluorine-free water-repellent finish.
Comes with a detachable snood.
At first glance, it appears to be a simple snood, but it actually features a 2WAY design with a hidden hood. It can be used on its own, making it a great match with items you already own.
This is suitable for all seasons except for the height of summer.
With a filling that is neither too thin nor too thick, it can be worn for more than half of the year, excluding the peak of summer.
■Tips for choosing the right size:
For those who want to layer with sweaters or knits, choose a size that matches your height. If you prefer to wear it as an inner coat under another outerwear, you can opt for one size smaller.
For children who are still growing, start with a larger size to use as outerwear. Once it starts to feel a bit small, you can continue to enjoy it as a liner, allowing for extended use.
Choosing products thoughtfully is a step towards ensuring a sustainable future where children can continue to live healthily and energetically.
Shopping responsibly is an admirable first step.
Why not start with selecting outerwear that is kind to both the wearer and the planet, and that can be used with confidence for a long time?
