In a move that blends military grit with urban sophistication, Junya Watanabe MAN and C.P. Company unveil their second collaborative piece: a reimagined fishtail parka that’s anything but standard issue. This isn’t just outerwear; it’s a dialogue between two pioneers who understand the intersection of utility and avant-garde design.
The parka makes a statement right out of the gate with its signature Explorer hood—a functional yet distinctive feature that’s adjustable via a front zip. Open it up, and the vivid orange lining grabs your attention, a clever nod to classic bomber jackets reinterpreted for today’s streets.
Watanabe’s influence is unmistakable. Renowned for deconstructing traditional silhouettes, he infuses a loose, unstructured vibe that feels both effortless and intentional. When paired with C.P. Company’s decades-long expertise in technical fabrics, the result is a piece that doesn’t just look good—it performs.
Every detail serves a purpose: a full-length zip concealed by a sleek flap, a drawstring waist for a customizable fit, and adjustable cuffs to keep the elements at bay. Crafted in Japan, the parka employs a water-repellent, three-layer laminated nylon that stands up to unpredictable weather. Inside, a robust nylon twill lining meets PrimaLoft padding, offering warmth without the bulk. The hood’s Boa polyester lining adds an extra layer of comfort, making it as cozy as it is cool.
In a fashion landscape crowded with collaborations, this one stands apart by staying true to both brands’ core philosophies. Junya Watanabe and C.P. Company demonstrate that when two innovators join forces, the outcome is a garment that feels both timeless and distinctly contemporary—a parka ready to navigate the urban jungle with style and substance.
