TRUE WETSUITS BY QUIKSILVER

仕事も海も、ビッグウェーブは逃さない。そんな男前な水陸両用ウエットスーツの予約販売が開始されたとか！

波乗りした姿のまま、着替えずに通勤できるようにデザインされたという斬新なコンセプト。動画もかなりユニークです。

豪快！「クールビズよりサーフビズ」を提唱する「TRUE WETSUITES」を開発したのは、1969年にオーストラリアで誕生した老舗のボードスポーツカンパニー「QUIKSILVER」。

ジョークかと思いきや、かなりガチです。ネイビー、ブラック、タキシードと3種類あり、パーティー中にも海に行けちゃいます。

もしくは逆にビーチ用のスーツと考えても良さそう？とにかく、三度の飯より波が好き！っていうあなたにピッタリかもしれません。

機能性と、ビジネスシーンで使えるスタイルを両立させるためにこだわった物作りがされており、ジャケットとパンツは、ネオプレン2mm厚の超伸縮ジャージ。デバイスを収納できるようファスナーがついた完全防水のポケットもあります。

シャツやネクタイにも撥水加工が施されており、ドライフライトが使用されているため、すぐに乾くのだそう。発想がかなり奇抜ですが、コンセプト動画にも遊び心がたくさんあって見てて楽しいですよね！

-- Product Outline --

The "TRUE WETSUITS" is not only an authentic, high quality wetsuit, but also a "suits" that can be worn on business occasions. 

- STYLE

The "TRUE WETSUITS" is a wetsuit that can be comfortably worn for various water sports.

The "TRUE WETSUITS" is available with three styles - black, navy, and tuxedo, that is appropriate even for business occasions after surfing. The "black" and "navy" models feature a single breasted two-button jacket that can be worn casually.

- JACKET & PANTS

The jacket and pants are made of a 2mm super high-stretch jersey neoprene, the same fabric we use to make regular wetsuits.

The parts are joined with glued and blind-stitched seams (GBS), a method specially developed for wetsuit production. The pinholes do not penetrate the fabric to prevent water from coming inside the wetsuit.

The pockets are designed flat to prevent them from catching water while surfing. The breast pockets have been designed specifically for use outside the water. The inside pocket on the left breast of the jacket is designed with a fastener and drain hole, to store any electronic devices in business situations, and the outside pocket on the same breast is designed with a slit and space to carry a handkerchief.

Two antique silver buttons are used on the front of the jacket and plastic dot buttons are used on the cuffs.

The jacket also features side vents to allow a comfortable posture while waiting for waves. The "TRUE WETSUITS" is designed for both business and surfing.

- SHIRT

The shirt has been designed with a dress shirt silhouette and a crisp collar to create a formal impression.

It is made with a recycled 4-way stretch DRYFLIGHT fabric, the same used for our board shorts. DRYFLIGHT was co-developed by QUIKSILVER and 3M for superior water repellency and is SCOTCHGUARD-treated to prevent staining or soiling.

The shirt is made of a fabric designed for surfing and the placket is closed with a fastener to prevent water inflow. It appears formal but is equipped with details that make it suitable for water surfing.

- TIE

Like the jacket, the tie is also made of a 2mm super high-stretch jersey neoprene. Sublimation transfer printing is used to adorn the tie with a delicate design suited for business and party situations.

The fabric is also pressed in a special process to make it thinner and easier to tie. 

- ORDER

To ensure that your "TRUE WETSUITS" creates a silhouette that fits for both business and party occasions while truly comfortable for surfing, it is only available with order services.
