NANGA / HINOC Down Cardigan Jacket Model 2025

NANGA
Founded in 1941 in Maibara, Shiga Prefecture, NANGA is a Japanese down manufacturer committed to domestic production. Known for using safe, high-quality down and unique sewing techniques, it is regarded as one of Japan’s leading brands for winter down outerwear.

Materials trusted for firefighting gear
The outer shell blends polyester with Kevlar for exceptional flame resistance. While Kevlar is best known for its high strength and elasticity, it also offers a wide range of protective properties including flame resistance and heat resistance, making it a material used in firefighting suits and gloves.

*Due to the special nature of this fabric, pilling may occur from friction during use. Please understand this as a product characteristic. If pilling occurs, it can be maintained using a fabric shaver.

*This is not a non-combustible material, so please avoid prolonged exposure to sparks or flames.

Despite its high-performance features ideal for the outdoors, the fabric has a cotton-like appearance, making it easy to incorporate into everyday styling.





NANGA’s sustainable down
As a company working with down, NANGA actively collects, refines, and regenerates this limited resource into new products. By focusing on “stable down supply,” “environmental conservation,” and “supporting employment for people with disabilities and local communities,” NANGA aims to realize a “down circulation cycle” and contribute to a more sustainable society.

Using recycled down, the jackets maintain a natural loft of 700 fill power, offering lightweight warmth and excellent insulation. Designed to provide just the right level of warmth without overheating, these pieces are versatile across a wide range of situations.

Why NANGA use the non-pack method
NANGA down products adopt a “non-pack method,” in which down and feathers are placed directly between the outer and inner fabrics. This enhances design and reduces weight. Down or feathers may appear on the surface or through seams, but this occurs as part of the manufacturing process and does not affect product performance.







A streamlined look
Designed with a clean no-collar neckline for a refined appearance. It layers comfortably under hooded tops without bulk and allows scarves to wrap smoothly, expanding styling options.



Large snap pockets on both sides provide secure storage. The pocket interiors are lined with a warm fabric that prevents cold sensation when hands are placed inside.





Adaptable across different settings
While not as insulating as the Aurora Down Jacket, this piece excels as an inner down layer under a coat. Balancing warmth and mobility, it’s a versatile item suitable for multiple uses.

Its compact volume makes it ideal for driving or other activities where bulk is a concern. Whether for the city, car travel, or outdoor pursuits, this down cardigan adapts to diverse settings with ease.
