Seeing them in their military-style jackets like the Kuchofuku Long-Sleeve Fan-Cooled Blouson, it's hard to believe that Japanese construction workers are, in fact, construction workers. And it isn't just because of their Japanese famous (infamous?) love of uniforms: clothes like this are an invaluable tool for anyone who needs to work out in the sun during Japan's hot and humid summer or in factories, where temperatures get insanely high. So if a jacket can help in these situations, imagine what it can do for a more casual summer outing!
The Kuchofuku Long-Sleeve Fan-Cooled Blouson comes equipped with two fans that take power from a rechargeable battery with four different outputs (6 V, 10V, 15 V, and 18 V). Depending on the output, you can get up to 24 hours of operation, enough to carry you through almost any possible scenario. It is available in six sizes (from M to 5L, see below for measurements) and is made of 100% cotton broadcloth, so it should last for many, many summers!
