我对服装设计的最大感触是时尚和功能并不一致。衣服有时看起来确实不错，但可能并不舒适或实用。有一部分则倾向于牺牲美学，以夹克为例：一件正式的夹克，它在工作场所看起来不错，但在户外却不宜穿着；而连帽衫或旅行夹克则很舒适，可以承受恶劣的天气，看起来不像正式夹克那样精巧。PinFin Fashion的员工带着一份设计要点，即想制作一款既能在室内又可以在户外使用的时尚且实用的夹克，因此，他们开发了Alpha夹克，这是一个所有人都想要的旅行夹克。
My biggest complaint against apparel and garment design is that sometimes fashion and function don’t see eye to eye. Clothes can sometimes look really good, but might just not be comfortable or utilitarian. When they are, they tend to sacrifice aesthetics. Take the jacket for instance. You’ve got, on the one hand, the formal jacket that looks great in the workplace but doesn’t fare well outdoors, and the hoodie or travel-jacket which is comfortable, can withstand inclement weather, and often has more storage options, but doesn’t look as dapper as a formal jacket does. Armed with a design brief of wanting to make a jacket that is both stylish and functional both indoors and outdoors, the guys at PinFin Fashion developed the Alpha Jacket, a travel jacket for the alpha-human who wants the best of all worlds.
PinFin的Alpha夹克既能与您的衣服完美搭配，又能巧妙地隐藏多种功能，从隐藏的口袋到水袋，再到带有一体式颈枕的可拆卸连帽衫，都能很好地体现出设计的精髓。Alpha Jacket的面料既时尚又防水防风，其高领设计和剪裁使其成为休闲西装外套，但其反光滚边和耐用的设计使您可以在户外任何地方舒适地穿着。夹克的内侧有8个口袋，囊括从手机到移动电源、钥匙、太阳镜、钱包甚至iPad等所有物品。另外，还有一个专用袋可以携带水袋在旅途中饮用。夹克外部的口袋在胸部和袖子上，并采用隐蔽的YKK拉链固定，与夹克其余部分的质量相匹配。
PinFin’s Alpha Jacket treads the fine line between being a jacket that pairs wonderfully with the clothes you have, while also cleverly concealing multiple features, from hidden pockets to a water-pouch, to even a detachable hoodie with an integrated neck-pillow for the seasoned traveler. Alpha Jacket’s fabric is both stylish yet waterproof and wind-resistant, and its high-collar design and cut gives it the appeal of a casual blazer, but with reflective piping and a durable design that you can comfortably wear anywhere in the outdoors. Each jacket is armed with 8 pockets on the inside, for everything from your phone to your power-bank, keys, sunglasses, wallet, and even an iPad. Plus, a dedicated pouch for carrying a water-bladder to sip from while on the go. Pockets on the outside of the jacket find their place on the breast as well as the sleeve, secured with concealed YKK zippers that match the quality build of the rest of the jacket.
Alpha Jacket旨在真正支持经常旅行的人。Alpha夹克由Dan Truong和Linh Tran夫妇设计，他们经历了长距离的恋爱关系，所以经常旅行。对于经常旅行的人，Alpha夹克配有可拆卸的连帽衫，该衫有内置的颈枕（您可以在记忆海绵或微珠之间选择），以帮助您度过长时间的通勤路程；夹克有四种颜色可供选择，像休闲西装外套一样，可以根据自己的身材剪裁出轮廓，而且还为您提供了储物的优势，因此您将无需背包！
Alpha Jacket was built to truly support the often-traveler. Designed by Dan Truong and Linh Tran, a couple who endured a long-distance relationship and found themselves often traveling to meet each other, the Alpha Jacket sits at the intersection of “jacket that’s perfect for traveling” and “jacket I can step out for social events in”. For someone who finds themselves traveling often, the Alpha Jacket comes with a detachable hoodie that has a built-in neck pillow (you can choose between memory foam or microbeads) helping you get through long commutes, and for the alpha-human who wants to look their best, the jacket comes in a variety of four colors to choose from, with a cut that defines your silhouette just like a casual blazer would, but also gives you the advantage of storage so you don’t need to lug a backpack around with your stuff!
