Life Lived in Waxed Cotton Puffer Vest

“Puffer vests and jackets exceptionally made from hand-beeswaxed Japanese fabric and filled not with down or synthetics, but with renewable tree-fiber fill. It’s the sort of garment production I imagine for a better future.”

“Kazumi Takigawa makes these hand-waxed bags, dyed with organic and natural materials including coffee, tea, alum mordant, oolong, and an iron mordant.”

“Waxed sunhat in a golden-ochre waxed cotton oilskin, equally suited to rain or sun. Its stiffness allows for rolling the front brim of the hat.”
