[Upcycle] A sense of uniqueness with one-of-a-kind pieces! A retired paraglider has transformed into a vest.

"The 'MARKET VEST', upcycled from parachute fabric that used to fly in the sky. Each piece has a unique color combination and can be lightly incorporated into summer festivals, camping, and city walks. So, what color combination will you have in your hands?"

The fabric that flew in the sky has been reborn as a vest

The "MARKET VEST," born from the collaboration between "PASS THE BATON" and "HOZUBAG." The material used is, surprisingly, recycled paragliding fabric! I'm very intrigued by the unique idea of upcycling (reusing) the fabric that has completed its purpose into a single vest.

Since it was originally made to fly in the sky, it is remarkably light yet durable. Of course, it can be worn in outdoor scenes like summer festivals and camping, and it can also be easily thrown on for shopping in the neighborhood.

Each piece has a unique color combination

The biggest appeal of this vest is that each one is unique. Paragliding fabrics are often colorful, and the colors and patterns collected are each different.

You won't know how the colors will combine until it's made. Will it be red and blue, or yellow and green? Because the color combinations are created by chance, there’s a satisfaction in having a "one-of-a-kind piece" that no one else has. The size is free, and by adjusting the length of the shoulder straps, it can be worn unisex. It might also be nice to share it with your partner depending on your mood.

A pocket arrangement that is more practical than it looks

While it is easy to be captivated by its visual impact, it also offers ample storage capacity. In addition to the larger waist pockets, there is a large pocket on the back that covers the back. Essential items for going out, such as smartphones, wallets, and PET bottles, fit perfectly.

The “freedom” to move around with both hands free makes outdoor activities comfortable for adults. It is also easy to take on and off, and its ability to fold compactly is appealing. When it gets hot, you can take it off and put it in a bag, making it easy to bring to outdoor events with temperature variations.

A garment for enjoying this summer hands-free

The "MARKET VEST" is available for purchase at PASS THE BATON's online shop, and there will also be a HOZUBAG booth at the "Mori, Michi, Ichiba" event starting May 22, providing a chance to check out the actual product.
