Water-repellent items that provide peace of mind even in sudden downpours
October is drawing to a close, and sometimes you find yourself caught in a sudden rain shower without an umbrella, right?
That's when "water repellency" comes in handy.
In this article, we'll introduce C+'s water-repellent items!
■ What is "Water Repellency"?
It's the property of water rolling off the surface of a fabric. Water-repellent processing is achieved by applying a water-repellent coating to the surface of the fabric or the threads that make up the fabric.
This coating causes water to roll off easily even if it gets on the fabric, making it difficult for the fabric to get wet.
DICROS Long Coat
A long coat with a military essence.
This is a refined design coat with decorative pockets on the front and belt tabs on the sides.
"DICROS" is a polyester material that has been developed since 1996 by a textile manufacturer in Fukui.
DICROS is an ultra-high density polyester material with excellent functions such as "water repellency," and it has a firm crispness while being soft to the touch.
It is an ultra-lightweight material with a lustrous feel like rayon or silk taffeta and a voluminous feel with a distinct twill weave. It features a fine texture, a gentle touch, and a beautiful surface.
Over Dolman Blouson
A 2-way specification with a hood-in collar. An oversized blouson with a loose dolman silhouette.
Although it has a relaxed fit, the suppleness of the material prevents it from being too oversized, creating an exquisite balance. When the hem is tightened, it creates a softly blousing design.
The chevron zipper adds an accent.
Uses a standard material from the highly trusted Italian company LIMONTA. It is an ultra-lightweight material that has long been a staple among European brands.
A taffeta material with a good weight, a moderate sheen that's not too bright, and a soft texture. The key features are its functionality, including water repellency, moisture permeability, windproofing, and even pollen guarding.
It pairs perfectly with casual tops like simple knits and printed long-sleeved t-shirts.
We also recommend a city sports style coordination with the matching skirt(K28402).
DICROS Padded Vest
A padded vest.
When the hem's drawstring is tightened, the back creates a softly three-dimensional silhouette, and when it's flattened, it forms a longer back hem silhouette.
When the buttons are closed, the neck is warmly covered, which is also a nice feature.
It's great as an additional layer over knits or long-sleeved shirts in autumn, and also recommended to wear over a coat in winter.
Reversible Jersey Blouson
A jersey blouson that's conveniently reversible. The front side uses a needle beaver jersey material with an added chest pocket.
The reverse side is a taffeta material with a simple design, making it a reversible specification.
This needle beaver jersey material is characterized by its beaver-like nap and a warm, wool-like surface.
It's a new sensation material that combines the stretch and lightness unique to jersey.
On rainy or snowy days, it's recommended to wear it with the water-repellent taffeta side out. When the taffeta side is used as the lining, it also provides a windproof effect, making it a versatile and excellent outer layer.
The beaver-like surface prevents it from looking too casual, making this blouson easy to pair with smart-casual outfits.
Since the reversible sides use different materials, another great feature is being able to change between the front and back depending on your coordination.
