TOKYO CRAFTS and Korean outdoor-clothing brand HELEMENT have scheduled their second collaborative collection for 6 November at 19:00 JST. The Japanese release comprises a padded jacket, a corduroy-and-fleece vest and a knit anorak.

The fishing and outdoor references are clearest in the vest’s large pockets and adjustable sides. This is a dated clothing release, not evidence that any of the pieces have been tested by simpl. for warmth or hard use.

Three layers, different materials

The Parabola Padded Jacket is listed at ¥52,800 including Japanese tax. Its shell is 70% cotton and 30% nylon, with a nylon lining and polyester insulation. The design includes a low stand collar, shaped sleeves, an internal hem drawcord and a zipped sleeve pocket.

The dark-brown Corduroy Fleece Vest is ¥28,600, with a cotton corduroy outer and polyester lining. Its large front and back pockets and side adjustment belts are intended to accommodate layering. Those features do not establish a load limit or make it protective equipment.

The Roche Knit Anorak is ¥24,200. The specified blend is 44% acrylic, 24% polyester, 22% nylon, 8% wool and 2% polyurethane, with a textured knit and contrasting woven placket.

The release is still ahead

The maker’s 23 October announcement places this capsule after the brands’ spring–summer collaboration. The official autumn–winter pages and photographs identify these three garments, so earlier HELEMENT pieces should not be substituted when checking specifications.

All quoted prices include Japanese tax. As of 28 October, the announced sale date is still in the future; size-level availability, Malaysia checkout and delivered costs are not verified. The practical comparison is the role of each layer and its fabric, not the collaboration name alone.
