IMPRESTORE W.A.T.W- BDU JACKET / Diana (WE ARE THE WOODLAND CAMO)

The brand name 【 IMPRESTORE | What is 【 IMPRESTORE 】?
< IMPROVE = to evolve > and < RESTORE = to repair > are combined to form this coined word.
Based on rough and rugged American vintage pieces, we repair and reconstruct them to suit today's mood, creating an evolved 【 SEMI-STANDARD WEAR | We continue to propose 【 semi-standard wear 】.

What is semi-standard wear?Daily wear for fashion lovers, filled with attention to detail and a playful spirit for those in the know.

BDUs in the 2000s were primarily made from polyester blends. They're tough and practical, but they don't develop the wear marks and puckering of old cotton fatigues or acquire the same character through wear.       
So I chose a 2000s cut and old-fashioned 100% cotton for the material.       
The more you wear it, the seams develop puckering and wear marks, and it gradually becomes your own BDU.       
I made it by blending the best parts of the old and the new.       

And the pattern featured on this BDU is IMPRESTORE's original W.A.T.W CAMO.       
I've loved the woodland camo that represents the 1980s ever since I was young.       
Using that beloved woodland as a base, I created an original IMPRESTORE camouflage pattern by mixing in what I'm thinking about today and the culture of the 1980s.       
War has gone on for so long... I wish it would end soon.       
From that simple feeling, I placed ladybugs in the camouflage as symbols of peace. Look even more closely and you'll find a world map hidden in there too.       
One of the themes is that charity movement that swept the world in the 1980s.       
Transcending countries, races, and genres, everyone coming together as one.       
I've incorporated the atmosphere of that era into the camouflage pattern through my own interpretation.       

And there's more.       
Search the pattern carefully and you'll think, "Huh? Is there someone there?"       
There are also a few slightly mysterious silhouettes hinting at the music culture of the 1980s.       
Who they are is left to your imagination. Haha.       
Inside camouflage originally meant to conceal people on the battlefield, you'll find a world map, ladybugs, music, and messages of peace.    

From a distance, it looks like ordinary woodland.       
Look closely and you'll find all kinds of things.       
The perfect size of a 2000s BDU, old-fashioned cotton aging, and an original camo inspired by a wish for peace.       
We created an IMPRESTORE-style BDU jacket with a serious theme that isn't overly serious.       
I think it looks coolest after being worn hard, washed, and thoroughly broken in.       
Absolutely! PEACE!

A word from the staff

Ichimura / 175 cm / 75 kg / Wearing size 40

I've loved military jackets for years and own quite a few, but whenever I see a piece with this kind of playful spirit, I can't help wanting it.

At first glance, it's a classic woodland camo BDU jacket. But look closely and you'll notice it's a little different from ordinary camouflage. Personally, I love this kind of subtle appeal that only those in the know will recognize.

And when you actually try it on, the silhouette is genuinely well balanced.

There's plenty of room across the chest, and it has a great look simply thrown on casually over a T-shirt. It isn't likely to feel restrictive even with a sweatshirt or flannel shirt underneath, so it should be very useful between seasons.

Personally, I like an easygoing look with faded denim, a plain T-shirt, and VANS on my feet. It also looks great paired with slightly dressier trousers, using the camouflage pattern as an accent.

I'm 175 cm tall and weigh 75 kg, and I'm wearing size 40. It has just the right amount of room, creating my preferred balance while allowing for layering.

And this jacket will be even more enjoyable once you've really worn it in.

Because it's made of 100% cotton, the fabric softens with repeated wear and washing, while the seams develop wear marks and puckering. By the time it gets a little worn in, I think it will have an even better character.

Above all, IMPRESTORE's signature creativity is wonderful: subtly incorporating messages of peace and a playful spirit into the camouflage pattern.

It feels like more than simply recreating vintage military wear; it's a garment that could only be made today.

This is a piece that we highly recommend not only to military enthusiasts, but also to those who don't usually wear camouflage patterns.
