Fashion brand “D-VEC” by fishing company Daiwa announces their first collaboration with “ALMOST BLACK” with the theme of “Japanese aesthetics x world culture”.

Based on the deep coloring that is commonly used by Almost Black, a zip that does not touch your chin and a large fishing pocket with a gusset are combined together. The functional details are fused with the fashionable design, making it a unique item.

GORE-TEX 3LSHELL　¥85800

This is a shell jacket that expands the range of motion around the arm by adding a gusset from the armpit to the sleeve tip. The front opening fastener is placed diagonally so that the zip head and seam do not hit your face. The drawcord built into the waist slash pocket allows you to arrange the silhouette to your liking.

GORE-TEX INFUNIUM 2L SHIRTS JACKET　¥46200

Next is a jacket with snap buttons on the front, which also has a gusset from the armpits to the sleeves for smooth arm movement. The storage capacity pockets on the chest, sleeves, and back make it possible to not need to carry a bag. The details found in outdoor wear are also bountiful.

GORE-TEX INFUNIUM 2L VEST　¥41800

As with the previous jacket, the flap pockets on the chest, abdomen, and back are laid out so that they appear to float on the surface. With as many as 7 pockets, it provides storage capacity that negates the need for a bag.

GORE-TEX INFUNIUM 2L TROUSERS　¥36200

The hips are equipped with flaps and zippered pockets, and the waist is easy to adjust with the rubber and spindle. A quick-drying mesh is used for the lining.

NYLON WASHER TROUSERS　¥30800

Eight-quarter length pants made of a light nylon washer material that allows you to enjoy a unique wrinkled feeling. The flap pockets on the thighs and hips are arranged so that they drape over the leg, and the removable rubber bands on the left and right are based on the hemostatic band built into the M-65.

COTTON PLATING SHORT T-SHIRT　¥13200

While using the football T as a motif, the collar is adapted from a V-neck to a crew neck. In addition to a quick-drying body that is a blend of cotton and polyester, it is designed to prevent stuffiness by using mesh on the sides and sleeves.

COTTON PLATING LONG T-SHIRT　¥16500

The COTTON PLATING SHORT is a long sleeve version of the T-SHIRT. Similar to T-shirts, the mesh sleeves have gussets for ease of movement.

GORE-TEX 3L HAT　¥11000

With a unique rounded brim shape, the drawcord on the back of the head allows for easy fitting. The strap length can be adjusted and is also removable. Also, because the brim at the back is long, it covers the neck and helps prevent sunburn.

All items are embroidered with icons drawn by Izumi Kato, an artist who also works on paintings and sculptures. The design that is inspired by the triple hook of fishing is implemented in the same color as the body.

Based on the functional needs of fishing wear, this is a unique collaboration collection that mixes fashion and art and will be on sale from January 27th. People are paying attention to this masterpiece collection from DAIWA all around the world.
