A leading manufacturer of functional jackets offers high elasticity and lightweight comfort.

MACKINTOSH PHILOSOPHY Trotter series is an indispensable part of any discussion about "functional jackets." The "Number Zero," highly regarded by jet-setter businessmen who travel frequently, enjoys enduring popularity, but stylist Jun Onoue frequently wears the Ultralight series, which uses Coolmax® material.

"I paired a lightweight, highly stretchable set-up from the Ultralight series with a shirt made of the same material, which is a new addition to the lineup this season, as an inner layer, and completed the look with a knit tie," says Onoue.

Matching the suit with a shirt made of the same material creates a cohesive look. Furthermore, the Coolmax® material is cool and suitable for outdoor wear, such as garden weddings, which is another attractive feature.

And then, a casual style with slim pants made of cotton pique material and a marine striped T-shirt as an inner layer.

"One of the features of this jacket is that it's wrinkle-resistant. For example, if you're going on a date in the park during the day and then to a hotel restaurant at night, you can just roll it up and put it in your bag," he recommends.

"This striped T-shirt I'm wearing underneath has a trendy silhouette with just the right amount of room, so it looks good even when I take off my jacket," he continues.
