Twelve-way down jacket hits Japanese stores
Japanese brand Urban Research released a student-designed, adjustable quilted down jacket made from recycled feather filling on January 6.

Due to innovative fastening placements, the article can be styled in 12 different ways, offering various interpretations such as cropped fits or sleeveless options. It can even be worn simply as a scarf. 

After coming out on top during a December 2021 awards ceremony which recognised the best design submitted to the company’s Green Down Project competition, the single-size jacket is being sold in two colourways for approximately $260 (¥34,980).
