As we hope for the weather to warm up, White Mountaineering is preparing for better days with the release of this 6oz. Denim Hooded Coat from their Spring 2012 releases. This lightweight indigo denim coat is constructed in a similar manner as their tech jackets, however it features velour trim instead of water-resistant taping on the outer seams. Thick drawcords are fitted onto the hood and hem, balancing out the cream-colored trim. Cream-colored snap buttons are used on the front opening as well, with every second button hidden from view. This jacket is currently available at FIGURE SHIZUOKA in Japan and at White Mountaineering stockists across the globe.

One of the specialties of White Mountaineering is their technical jackets, fusing functionality with original styling. There are several key jackets available this season, including this Pertex Cotton Yarn Dyed 3 Layer Multiple Tissue Luggage Hood Parka. The inner lining of this piece is composed of a nylon material made by Pertex, making it both wind and water resistant while allowing it to maintain breathability. The exterior shell is a combination of four different cotton fabrics, accented by leather yoke on the front and back shoulder. Four pockets are equipped on the front of the jacket, and for improved fit, an adjustable drawcord is equipped on the hem, waist and hood. Head over to your nearest White Mountaineering retailer or FIGURE SHIZUOKA, who is stocking this item on their online shop.

Technical fabric company Pertex is a veteran company with over 25 years of experience and a proven track record in the exploration field. White Mountaineering has hand selected the technical shell from Pertex for their latest Digital Camo Middle Down Jacket. Within the exterior shell, there is a polyurethane film laminate layer that provides waterproofing, wind resistance and breathability. Ensuring warmth are the 10% feather and 90% down which fill the interior of the jacket, along with adjustable drawstrings on the waist and on the hem.

Brown, grey and blue hues dominate the Spring/Summer 2012 Dune Rover collection from White Mountaineering and the same palette is used widely on their footwear range as well. From sneakers to boots, there are sixteen styles in total that span over four different models. Both of the low and high cut sneakers feature three custom designed fabrics, Cotton Jacquard Batik, Cotton Mini Jacquard and Flower Camo Print, on its uppers with leather reinforcements holding the sneakers in shape. On the contrary, the Embroidered Wallaby Boots and Western Work Boots are made from premium leather materials on the uppers which are embroidered with intricate designs. Delivery of the footwear will be starting next year at White Mountaineering stockists worldwide.

In few months time White Mountaineering will start to deliver their Spring/Summer 2012 pieces into retailers around the world. Included in the Dune Rover collection are some collaboration items with PORTER. We took a glance at them in their runway show, but here we can take a look at it in more detail. The collection is inspired by desert landscapes and cowboy culture, therefore these accessories were made from used denim materials. All three bags are constructed from indigo colored denim and shows a distinct character of wear and tear. Brown and cream leather details refer back to the cowboy theme and adds color to the monotone items. Expect these items to reach White Mountaineering stores and dealers next year.

Military silhouettes have always been an influence for streetwear, and Yosuke Aizawa of White Mountaineering tries his hand at reinterpreting the classic N-3B jacket. Even though the classic silhouette is retained, the outer shell uses the latest from the Gore-Tex catalog. Gore-Tex Performance Shell material is used on the exterior with a Primaloft ONE insulation system implemented on the interior. Large hand warmer pockets on the chest dwarf the two waist pockets, offering ample functionality. Tonal suede leather reinforces the elbows, under arm and pockets, hinting influence from the traditional design. This jacket can be found at HAVEN right now in their retail stores and on its online shop.

The Whymper model is a new addition to the footwear range of White Mountaineering. Launched as part of the Fall/Winter 2011 collection, the high cut sneaker makes its presence known with the faux fur leopard printed material on the uppers. The rest of the uppers are made from soft leather and suede materials in gray monotone, balanced out by the clean white rubber soles. Mountaineering inspiration is expressed by the use of D-ring lace loops and metal eyelets in matte black color. Lastly, the White Mountaineering branded lace lock completes the unique sneakers. oki-ni in the UK is carrying these shoes in their online shop right now.
