NORBIT / Field Hoodie Jacket

NORBIT
A Japanese outdoor wear brand relaunched in 2018 by designer Hiroshi Nozawa.

Drawing on the functional beauty of classic fieldwear, including fishing, hunting, and military garments, NORBIT creates pieces that combine modern materials with unique features and thoughtful design.

By blending traditional techniques and functional beauty passed down through generations with modern technology, the brand creates apparel that balances functionality and design, with practical details shaped by real-world use.









Toughness and character combined in salt-shrunk nylon ripstop
The outer fabric uses water-repellent "W/R Salt-Shrunk Nylon Ripstop."
By applying a salt-shrinking process to nylon fabric, it creates a fine textured surface and a distinctive firm feel. The crisp and lightweight texture beautifully highlights the dimensional pockets and relaxed silhouette.



In addition, the grid-like ripstop construction provides excellent durability. While maintaining the toughness inherited from outdoor gear, it offers a lightweight comfort that is easy to incorporate into everyday city wear.

With water-repellent functionality that helps handle sudden light rain, it is an ideal outer layer for seasons when weather conditions can change quickly. The ability to appreciate the natural expression of the functional fabric itself is one of NORBIT’s unique appeals.







Field-inspired functionality made easy for everyday use
The large, three-dimensional hood that fully covers the neck is one of the key features.
Designed with practical wind protection in mind when worn up, its voluminous shape also adds a distinctive accent to the overall jacket design.



The standout feature is its versatile pocket system, designed for exceptional storage capacity.
Multiple gusseted pockets are arranged across the front, allowing everyday essentials such as smartphones, wallets, and keys to be organized and stored separately. It is a highly practical design for days when you want to head out without carrying a bag.





A rod holder inspired by classic fishing wear is positioned at the chest. More than just a decorative detail, it brings the functionality of traditional fieldwear into a modern design.

The front also features change buttons secured from the reverse side with rings. Drawing on the practical construction found in vintage garments, these details showcase the meticulous attention to detail that defines the jacket.



Drawcords are placed at the cuffs, allowing detailed adjustment of the fit.
By tightening them, you can help prevent cold air from entering while also changing the sleeve volume to create different silhouettes depending on your styling.



The back features a large-capacity game pocket inspired by traditional hunting wear. Originally designed to carry gear and game, this practical detail works just as well in the city, providing convenient storage for items such as gloves and scarves.

Inside, a built-in shoulder strap mechanism allows you to carry the jacket over your shoulders when you take it off. Whether you're heading indoors or the temperature starts to rise, you can easily manage changing temperatures without having to carry a separate bag.





A relaxed silhouette with generous room through the body.
It layers comfortably over shirts and T-shirts, while offering enough room for sweatshirts and knitwear during the colder months.

The firm fabric and dimensional pockets help maintain a defined silhouette despite the oversized fit, allowing the jacket to make a statement even when worn on its own.
