DAIWA PIER39
TECH 2WAY ALPINE PARKA

The chilly days continue, and it’s the perfect season for hot pot. What’s your favorite?
Being from Fukuoka, mine has to be motsunabe, with soy sauce-based broth and champon noodles to finish—classic style. Though I’m all about promoting local specialties, I secretly love sesame soy milk hot pot too.

Speaking of my hot pot obsession, today’s pick is the TECH 2WAY ALPINE PARKA from DAIWA PIER39. With a nostalgic vibe, this piece reimagines the 1990s mountain parka design. As someone who used to work at a vintage shop, the familiar retro details immediately caught my attention.

The color-blocked lining and fabric choices are sure to resonate with vintage lovers. Back in the day, coyote-colored linings were a common feature. The TECH 2WAY ALPINE PARKA comes in two colorways, both easy to style for daily use. The gray version with its lining and tape detailing feels spot-on—definitely my favorite.

Practicality is key, with large front pockets and multiple inner pockets in various sizes, adding a touch of military-inspired functionality.

The best part? Its detachable design allows you to switch between long and short lengths. The short version makes it perfect as a fishing jacket, ideal for anglers. It’s also great for outdoor activities or cycling.

Why not step outside on a chilly day and warm up with some hot pot on your way back? Sounds like the perfect plan to me.
