EMULATION / Progress Flight Jacket

Warmth retention comparable to down with this lightness
By trapping air inside and creating layers, we introduce a new generation of outerwear that boasts down-like warmth.

From EMULATION, a military blouson with a MA-1 motif and the next-generation system “AIRUNIT”. The item equipped with the next-generation system “AIRUNIT” appeared.

Using the ‘air’ itself as a material, resources are used in a sustainable way.
It is a high-spec item that weighs less than down and is also functional and practical.

EMULATION

A next-generation clothing brand that is the best match for the modern age, utilising the most ecological resource of ‘air’ without using animal or petroleum resources. It aims to create a new outerwear genre and produces products.

The brand’s fundamental system “AIRUNIT”

A special unit with variable heat retention by filling it with air and increasing or decreasing its volume. The warmth of
down and padding is not due to the material’s heat shielding properties, but to the layer of air created by the puffiness of the material. Compared to down and cotton jackets, where the air layer collapses with the movement of the wearer and allows heat to escape, emulaion’s AIR UNIT is a ‘better insulating item’ as the air inside the unit does not move at all and does not leak outwards.

Also, instead of down and padding, the AIR UNIT is made of The ‘air’ itself is used as a thermal barrier instead of down or padding, so it is weightless, does not use animal or petroleum resources and is the most ecological of all. Because of its

structure, it can be mounted on a variety of items, so that casual items that do not look like high-performance winter wear can be updated without compromising fashion. This is an innovative system that creates a stir in the uniformity of outerwear design.

How to fill with air
Open the cap inside the chest and place the air pump with the supplied nozzle/tube/mouthpiece or nozzle/hand pump combination into the filling port. Fill the appropriate amount by exhalation or manually.

For comfortable wear, 50-70% air volume is optimal. The thickness in this case is about 2~3 cm. (Even with a small amount of air, it is possible to maintain sufficient warmth.)

Fabric that combines appearance and functionality
The outer fabric is made of polyester/nylon memory fabric (shape memory fabric). It also has a sophisticated look and a high level of functionality that can be enjoyed smartly in the city.

The sleeve part is not AIRUNIT but padded.

Simple yet complete design
A military-inspired design that faithfully reproduces the details of the MA-1, with snap-button hand pockets on both sides. The

sleeves have a two-tiered ribbed finish for a great fit. The silhouette is also attractive with fabric pooling in the sleeves.

Flexible silhouette

Overall, the sizing is relaxed, but the ribbing at the sleeves and hem adds to the silhouette.

The air volume also changes the impression of the silhouette.

You can freely enjoy adjusting the silhouette to suit your co-ordination in addition to adjusting the warmth of the garment.
