WILDSIDE YOHJI YAMAMOTO × YDOT Collaboration Collection

The innovative new collaboration between WILDSIDE YOHJI YAMAMOTO, a conceptual project known for its avant-garde aesthetics, and YDOT, a brand that fuses urban style with high functionality suited for harsh natural environments, is set to take the fashion world by storm. Launching on November 12, 2023, at noon on the official WILDSIDE online platform as well as exclusive retail outlets in Osaka and Harajuku, this collection marks the debut of their unique partnership.

Special Edition NORDIC DOWN JACKET

The standout piece of this collaboration is a revamped version of the NORDIC DOWN JACKET, which embodies YDOT's spirit. Enhanced design features and specifications are tailored to create a limited edition model that meets the needs of urban exploration while honoring outdoor functionality.

Design Features

One of the jacket's primary innovations is its stitchless construction, which effectively reduces bulk typically associated with down clothing. Using a high-density ripstop fabric allows for both stretch and lightweight characteristics, adding to the wearer's comfort. The jacket is equipped with Crystal Down®, a premium European down known for its excellent warmth and lightweight nature, ensuring that wearers stay warm without the extra weight.

Moreover, advanced coating techniques prevent down leakage and wind infiltration, while a water-repellent finish ensures durability against the elements. The detachable hood adds versatility, revealing a reflective WILDSIDE logo at the back for safety in low light conditions.

Functional Pockets and Zipper Design

For added practicality, the design features waterproof zippers on both side pockets and the left arm pocket, providing ease of access for storing essentials securely. The jacket is finished with a stylish double zipper at the front, allowing for optimal adjustment around the waist and an overall sleek appearance.

The entirely black palette not only reflects the aesthetic vision of WILDSIDE but also maintains YDOT's focus on high performance in outdoor activities, creating a perfect blend of elegant minimalism suited for city life.

Product Lineup and Pricing

The WILDSIDE × YDOT NORDIC DOWN JACKET will be available for 99,000 JPY (tax included), and is offered in sizes M and L.
