One of the best collaborations to date, alpine ski and mountaineering brand Moncler teaming up with Japanese fine clothes maker Visvim for two seasons of pure heat. This is the Borosiri Down Puffer Jacket that was a part of season one and was the only item to be carried over to season two. It's Moncler's super high quality finish taken to the next level with two way Swiss-made RiRi zippers, leather details, brass drawstring adjusters, a terry cloth zip-guard in navy with the drawcords on in the hood featuring beautiful contrast threads. Every piece of hardware adds a character and a remarkable level of finish to this coat. It's graded as a grade 4 (the next warmest grade) and "Klasse 1"-down (only new down, nothing reused). The sewn-in tag features the Moncler authentication code and the jacket comes with the original inner tricolor-colored double bands for off-the-shoulder wear. It also features a rare all-white Moncler felt badge on the chest.
If you didn't live in Japan when this was released you're unlikely to have had the chance to lay your hands on this jacket. The jacket has been lovingly worn for a season and kept in cold-storage since. I'm sad to see this go but it no longer fits the size of my body. Please see all the photos for and below for condition.
Condition:
The jacket has been cared for meticulously and show limited signs of use.
There are two small rips on the jackets lower right arm and on the right side of the back under the arm. They have both been professionally repaired by Moncler's repair shop here in New York.
All the original hardware is intact, which also came with distressed finishes making any signs of use invisible.
Some of the leather details could use some conditioning.
The jackets original fabric is "brushed cotton" giving it a slightly distressed look even as new. Due to this, there are mimimal sign of use on the jackets fabric.
The jacket has been professionally "re-puffed" by Moncler New York's go to cleaners, but the down can collapse slightly during transport, re-puff the jacket once you've received it for the best look.
Japanese Size 4.
The retail price of this jacket was $1600 making it one of the most exclusive Moncler jackets to date. You wont find this jacket in this condition and in this size and at this price anywhere else on the internet.
