NANGA / Aurora Stand Collar Down Jacket

NANGA
Founded in 1941 in Maibara, Shiga Prefecture, NANGA is a Japanese down manufacturer that remains committed to domestic production. Using only safe, high-quality down and precise, original sewing techniques, the brand has become one of Japan’s leading names in winter outerwear.





High-performance nylon with superior breathability, warmth, and water resistance
AURORA-TEX is a waterproof and breathable material designed to protect down from moisture—its greatest weakness—without sacrificing comfort. This high-performance nylon features a microporous polyurethane waterproof coating that delivers excellent warmth, breathability, and water repellency, allowing for versatile use regardless of the weather.

Durable ripstop fabric
The nylon is woven into a ripstop structure to enhance tear resistance compared to standard nylon. The result is a tough, long-lasting fabric ideal for active environments.





Warm enough for Japanese winters
The down is sourced from Spanish white ducks. The quality and performance of down are influenced not only by the bird species but also by the rearing environment and duration. Raised in spacious, modern facilities, Spanish ducks produce supple, soft feathers with excellent insulation, elasticity, and heat retention—providing practical warmth suited to everyday life without unnecessary bulk.

Thoughtful craftsmanship unique to NANGA
The sleeve stitching is carefully designed to prevent down from being compressed, maintaining its loft and warmth. These subtle yet functional details reflect NANGA’s deep expertise in down craftsmanship.





Details that block out the cold
The stand collar design ensures excellent heat retention around the neck. The front zipper features a water-resistant closure to keep out wind and moisture, while adjustable cuffs and hem drawcords further seal in warmth and comfort.





Designed with hand pockets on both sides and a chest pocket. The chest pocket also doubles as a hand warmer, keeping your hands cozy in cold conditions.





A smooth, comfortable silhouette
The 2023 model features a slightly more relaxed silhouette, allowing easy layering with hoodies or knitwear. The sleeves are designed to follow natural movement, offering a relaxed, unrestricted fit that enhances comfort.
