Military look has been in and out of fashion since the 1960s and this is as true in Japan as it is anywhere. One of the characteristics of this look when it comes to jackets is the big breast pockets and the Kuchofuku Long-Sleeve Air-Conditioned Blouson AR12003 has them, complemented by the khaki and charcoal colors, to give the item a distinctive battlefield look. Like all Kuchofuku apparel, what really makes this blouson indispensable is its cooling system that allows you to feel comfortable even on a very hot day.
The heart of the Kuchofuku Long-Sleeve Air-Conditioned Blouson AR12003 is in its waist: two powerful fans (that can be snapped on and off) that take power from a multi-output rechargeable battery that sits in its special pocket on the inside of the blouson. Depending on the environmental temperature and the amount of time you need to stay in it, you can set the output to 6, 10, 15, or 18 volts and the fans keep you cool for 5.1, 5.4, 8.4-11.2, or even 24 hours. As for sizes, it comes in three (M, L, and LL) to fit most body types.
