DENIM M-65 PARKA

This time, GIZEMO has derived the classic M-65PARKA with Japanese denim fabric. The hardware details and pattern cutting are made according to the 1970s version of M-65PARKA. The pockets are made of thick wool blend, and the pleats on the back of the sleeves are waist drawstring. We position this item not just as a simple fashion fishtail coat, but to retain and reflect the details of the M-65 fishtail coat as much as possible, so that it can be matched with M-65. The 65% inner liner improves the cold protection effect, and more importantly, the original color denim fabric can fade to create playability.

The loose military version is cut using 14oz Japanese KUROKI denim fabric. The production process remains the same as the military version M-65 PARKA. However, due to the heavy weight of the denim fabric, the production difficulty is greatly increased compared to the military version. The width of old-fashioned selvedge denim is generally only 80 centimeters, and it takes about 6 meters of fabric to make such an M-65 PARKA. We specially order
The UNIVERSAL pure cotton webbing and Japan-made retro zipper match it.

We customized the denim fabric produced in Okayama, Japan, which uses American cotton yarn. The textile technology is based on the 50s style. The fabric has a strong texture, 14.5oz gold thickness, and specially customized pink ears.
Shanzhong Textile is in charge of planning, starting from the selection of cotton. First, I found my ideal among the cotton collected from all over the world, and then started weaving. Through highly computerized textile technology, in order to reproduce the retro expression, the uneven shape of the thread we are pursuing is randomly repeated. It is easy to evenly line the production line. On the other hand, it is difficult to maintain high quality while naturally expressing unevenness in order to make the thickness of the line strong and weak, close to vintage, as we are pursuing. The values ​​called irregular threads are only required for jeans.

A total of 9 G-type automatic looms "GL-9" (produced in 1980) manufactured by Toyota Co., Ltd. Automatic Looms were launched using the old loom TOYOTA GL-9 at the old logistics warehouse site opposite the head office. Because it is an old model, there are no new replacement parts, so there are only two discarded looms used as parts. This is a loom that often requires maintenance by skilled craftsmen. The old force loom is indispensable on the basis of expressing the retro style. This means that the shuttle wrapped with weft threads goes back and forth from both ends of the fabric like sewing warp threads, making it Compared with the current mainstream innovative looms, the production efficiency of the loom with Selvich (lugs) that prevents the fabric from being tangled at both ends is 3:1 or less. Because the innovative loom is a high-speed rotating loom, it requires strong thread tension. Although the surface of the woven fabric is even and beautiful, it is difficult to express the personality of the fabric with a flat expression. On the other hand, old-fashioned power looms can be fine-tuned through the techniques of skilled craftsmen such as the method of tensioning the warp tension and the speed of weaving. Based on this, the original texture of the thread, the uneven feel, and the uneven weave create various personalities in the texture (top). The old power looms were not machines that could be controlled by a single button, but were the tools of a skilled craftsman.

Choose UNIVERSAL Japan-made retro zippers. This size 10 zipper shape often appeared on the original military version of M-65 jackets and M-65 windbreakers in the 1960s and 1970s. Japanese-made zippers are not only exquisite in craftsmanship, but also have another important reason. They use pure cotton webbing. The advantage of this is that it can fade as the clothes age. Domestically produced YKK, TALON and IDEAL are generally nylon webbing, which has a less retro feel than pure cotton webbing. This is why the price of this kind of Japanese zipper is five times higher than that of domestic IDEAL and ITALON with the same specifications.
