ISPO Award Nominee 2024: The Dilata Insulator Jacket by Fakir Apparels.

Less is more! This jacket is aimed at people who critically question their consumption and are looking for solutions to make clothing more versatile without having to buy more clothing.

Expandable fit

This highly functional jacket is a unique, expandable unisex garment that fits different body shapes and sizes. With the help of modular inserts and zipper gussets, it can be adjusted from women's size S to men's size XL and is therefore not only suitable for the different body shapes of different wearers, but also for different looks and uses. For example, it can be used for different seasons (the slim fit is worn in summer, the wider version fits in winter when you wear thicker clothing underneath). It is just as practical as a jacket that grows with pregnant women. Both the width of the jacket and the sleeve length can be adjusted.

Recycled materials and mono material

The mono-material jacket is made entirely from polyester, with most components made from recycled polyester. It has a PFC-free DWR coating and is insulated with PrimaLoft Gold P.U.R.E. to protect against rain and cold. PrimaLoft P.U.R.E. is a proprietary manufacturing technology from PrimaLoft that reduces carbon emissions by up to 48 percent and is made from recycled post-consumer material. In addition, all the main components of the insulation jacket are made from recycled material. Only about one percent of the materials used have not been recycled. High-quality, abrasion-resistant materials, such as those used on the hood, shoulders and sleeve cuffs, ensure a long lifespan. Thanks to the mono material, the jacket can simply be recycled again at the end of its lifespan. 

The unisex jacket in a timeless design will be available from the third quarter of 2025.
