RE: DESCENTE ※1(RE:DESCENTE SEED) Series ※2, Inner Down Jacket “Revive”. A lightweight inner down jacket in windproof ripstop polyester with high heat retention. In addition to the outer fabric, the lining, buttons, labels and other materials used have been selected because they are biodegradable. Its simple, straightforward styling makes it ideal for coordinating with other garments, and its four convenient pockets offer ample storage capacity. A versatile jacket that can be used both as an inner layer in winter and alone as an outer in autumn.
※1 RE: DESCENTE PROJECT is a corporate social responsibility program in sustainability with a focus on environmental conservation. Our aim is to work towards creating, for the children who will shape the future, a society with less impact on the global environment.
※2 The DESCENTE SEED series uses paper-based KAMITO, a functional yarn made with the same raw material and manufacturing process as washi, traditional Japanese paper. It addresses both environmental considerations and garment comfort, and all materials used, including trims and labels, are biodegradable
RE: DESCENTE SEED.
The RE: DESCENTE SEED series uses mainly functional, naturally derived materials – with biodegradability the keyword for all of them. And not only for the fabrics. We are very particular in selecting associated trim materials that are also biodegradable. The focus of the whole series is to express both care for the environment as well as natural comfort.
KAMITO+ is a fabric whose main raw material is the same natural fibre used in traditional Japanese paper (Washi). Washi is made mainly from thinned wood from coniferous trees and Manila hemp, grown with relatively fewer pesticides. The material is environmentally friendly even in the manufacturing process, and is characterized by the unique texture and touch of Japanese paper. The raw material in KAMITO+ has a natural deodorant property and can suppress the smell of sweat (ammonia, acetic acid and isovaleric acid). Because it is not chemically processed, the deodorant effect also continues even after washing.
The fabrics in our SEED series utilize biodegradable wood pulp-based paper yarn* similar to that used in traditional Japanese hand-made paper (Washi). In addition, we are carefully selecting biodegradable materials for all garment labels, buttons, sewing threads and bonding materials. A SEED 100 hang tag is attached to garments where all, or almost all, materials are biodegradable, but in cases where existing technology or functional requirements do not permit 100% use of biodegradable materials, a SEED 50 hang tag is used. We are continuing to work towards the goal of achieving the SEED 100 standard for all products.
*Biodegradability depends on soil conditions (JIS K 6955 test)
