How is the asymmetrical flap on the front of the Track Jacket designed?
Looking at the asymmetrical flap and zipper specifications written in the product description, this answers the curiosity of readers who find it difficult to gauge how the front closure and pocket arrangement function during actual wear.
The asymmetrical flap on the front crosses the center of the garment, and a two-way zipper divided top and bottom along with a diagonal chest pocket seamlessly follow that line.
The first area that catches the eye on the Track Jacket from POST ARCHIVE FACTION is the front of the garment. Unlike typical zip-up jackets, an asymmetrical cover structure with different left and right shapes is arranged across the entire front closure[1]. A cover is originally an element that covers closures or seam lines to keep things neat and tidy. On this jacket, a pocket with a diagonal zipper across the chest meshes with the cover line to form a functional storage space[2].
A YKK EXCELLA two-way zipper is placed at the center position that closes the garment[3]. A two-way zipper has sliders at both the top and bottom, allowing it to be opened and closed from both directions. Raising the bottom zipper slightly to widen the hem circumference can reduce the phenomenon of the garment bunching upward when sitting or moving. Since it is a component with smoothly polished metal tooth surfaces, the opening and closing movement is also smooth.
A soft and elastic jersey material is used as the base fabric that wraps the body[4]. Jersey is knit by looping yarns together, making it characteristic for stretching flexibly horizontally and vertically. The structural flap and sturdy metal zipper hold the outer lines, while the elastic jersey fabric relieves stuffiness when worn.
The detailed fastening method inside the asymmetrical flap and the composition ratio of the pocket lining have not yet been confirmed.
