A down puffer jacket from the Undercover collaboration with Evangelion, pieced in purple, acid green and black to recall the armour of Unit-01, and accompanied by the matching pair of gloves. Size 3, autumn-winter 2021, made in Japan.
The Piece
Undercover is the Tokyo label of Jun Takahashi, long admired for turning pop imagery into garments of real craft. For this collaboration he rendered the first Evangelion unit in down: the chest carries the angular green and black plates of the armour against a violet ground, a yellow collar insert marks the neck, and the back is a mirrored arrangement with a raised spine panel running up to the stand collar.
The shell is pieced from many separate panels of quilted nylon, with glossy PVC inserts at the sleeves that echo the sheen of the original animation cels. Drawcords gather the hem, the front is zipped, and the filling is 90% down with 10% feather, giving the jacket a generous loft. The gloves repeat the design in purple, with grey moulded finger plates and orange studs, and complete a costume-like set that is nonetheless thoroughly wearable.
Only a small production was made, and the gloves in particular are rarely found with the jacket. The jacket has been tried on once; the PVC panels show none of the early scratches that this material is prone to. The first two photographs show the design as issued by the maker; the photographs that follow show the piece itself, its labels, the maker’s tag and the gloves.
