Workman is known for functional clothing. With features like water resistance and stretchability, they are making waves in the Japanese apparel scene by providing high functionality needed on the job site.
The "Aero Cluster Slub Parka" that we are introducing today also boasts high functionality but has a unique set of features among Workman's products. We spoke with
Yuichiro Nakano, chief buyer of Product Development Division 6 at Workman, about the full picture of the "Aero Cluster Slub Parka," with Workman's official ambassador Koji Yamada interviewing him.
