Size 3, autumn-winter 2021, made in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUndercover 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Undercover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollaboration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evangelion, Unit-01\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e UC2A4213, gloves UC2A4G04-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn-winter 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShell:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% nylon, with partial PVC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilling:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90% down, 10% feather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLining:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% polyester\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Purple, green, black and yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 on the maker’s label (comparable to L)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matching gloves; maker’s tag attached\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTried on once only, as new in appearance; the PVC panels show no scratches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe maker’s tag is still attached.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eS (near new)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Undercover label with its composition and Made in Japan marks, the maker’s tag bearing the reference UC2A4213, colour and size 3 together with the Evangelion licence hologram, and the glove care label are all photographed.
