Minowa Vest

TOKYO CRAFTS’ first original vest was developed in collaboration with Minowa Vest Laboratory, a specialist manufacturer with more than 30 years of experience producing outdoor vests. Designed to function beyond camping alone, it’s built for a wide range of outdoor use where mobility and access matter.

The design is intentionally restrained, with functionality at the forefront. A large rear pocket allows bulky tools like knives or peg hammers to be carried securely without interfering with movement. The fabric is Mipan regen ripstop nylon, selected for its soft hand and durability, with a flame-retardant treatment suited for environments where sparks are part of the experience. Lightweight construction keeps it comfortable during long wear, even in demanding conditions.

Finished in TOKYO CRAFTS’ original blue-gray color, the vest blends naturally into outdoor settings while retaining a distinct presence. Material choice, layout, and balance were approached with the same care, resulting in a vest shaped by use.
