NANGA / HINOC Down Cardigan Jacket

NANGA
Founded in 1941 in Maibara, Shiga Prefecture, NANGA is a down product manufacturer committed to domestic production. Using safe, high-quality down and proprietary sewing techniques, the brand is widely recognized as one of Japan's leading names in winter down outerwear.

Flame-Resistant HINOC, Refined for the City
The outer fabric features NANGA's proprietary flame-resistant material, “HINOC.”
By combining polyester with high-strength fibers, it offers flame resistance and durability while maintaining a calm, understated appearance that tones down the sporty look often associated with outdoor wear.

Its matte, refined texture pairs beautifully with slacks and leather shoes, making it a natural fit for business styling. Paired with denim or a sweatshirt, it works just as effortlessly in relaxed casual looks.

※Due to the nature of this specialized fabric, pilling may occur from friction. Please understand this as a characteristic of the material. If pilling develops, it can be removed with a fabric shaver or similar tool.

※This material is flame-resistant, not fireproof. Please take care to avoid prolonged contact with sparks or embers.



Premium Down for Lightweight Warmth
The filling is composed of 90% down and 10% feathers.
The down is NANGA's carefully selected “Select Premium Down,” using 760-fill-power Spanish white duck down, while the feathers are sourced from KAWADA FEATHER, one of Japan's leading feather manufacturers.

The premium filling traps ample air, providing reliable warmth while maintaining a remarkably lightweight feel for a down coat. By keeping unnecessary volume to a minimum, the coat retains the clean, refined appearance of a classic bal collar coat.

Direct-Fill Construction
A direct-fill construction is used, with the down inserted directly between the outer fabric and lining. Reducing unnecessary layers of fabric helps keep the coat lightweight while creating a clean, streamlined silhouette.

Due to the nature of this construction, down or feathers may occasionally adhere to the fabric surface or work their way through the seams. This is a characteristic of the construction and does not affect the quality of the product.





The neckline features a clean, collarless design.

It layers easily with hooded tops without getting in the way, while pairing effortlessly with scarves for versatile autumn and winter styling.

Its restrained volume is another highlight, making it easy to wear like a cardigan without the bulk typically associated with down outerwear.



Large snap-button pockets are positioned on both sides of the front.

While the previous model featured tricot fabric only on the back-of-hand side, this updated version now uses tricot on both sides of the pocket interior.

The soft fabric gently envelops the hands, enhancing the pockets’ function as hand warmers and providing greater comfort in cold weather. They are ideal for keeping hands warm and comfortable during winter walks in the city or outdoor activities.



The cuffs are finished with piping for a clean, streamlined look. They fit neatly around the wrists while helping to keep cold air out.







As an Outer Layer or Under a Coat
With its low-volume design, it works as a lightweight outer layer through autumn and winter, then easily transitions to an insulating layer beneath a coat as temperatures drop.

It provides reliable warmth while allowing for easy movement, and its streamlined construction keeps it from feeling bulky behind the wheel.

From the city to the car and the outdoors, this highly versatile down cardigan is designed to be thrown on with ease wherever winter takes you.
