HAVEN / NANGA
Built for Life's Pace
Nestled on the northwest coast of Japan’s Kyushu Island, surrounded by natural beauty, a slower pace emerges.
For over a decade, Chiharu and Kooichi have embraced a life rooted in self-sufficiency. Restoring a traditional Japanese farmhouse, their days are filled with growing rice, foraging wild plants, and building meaningful connections within their local community. This harmonious way of living reflects a deep connection to nature, purpose, and craft—principles that resonate strongly with us at HAVEN.
For our debut collaboration with NANGA, a revered Japanese outdoor brand, we sought to channel this ethos into two versatile outerwear styles. Blending heritage-inspired aesthetics with modern fits and functionality, the collection celebrates quality, design, and performance.
The HAVEN / NANGA collection launches Friday, November 29th, at 9 AM PST online, in-stores, and through the HAVEN app.
HAVEN / Nanga Skyline Shirt
Blending the utility of heritage outdoor clothing with modern performance and design, the HAVEN / NANGA Skyline Shirt Jacket offers refined versatility. Its recycled nylon shell is lightweight yet durable, while 860 fill-power Polish goose down ensures reliable insulation without bulk. A spread collar with synthetic fill brings a polished structure, echoing the piece's balance between performance and style. Gradated diamond quilting and a relaxed fit nod to classic alpine aesthetics, while adjustable cuffs, fleece-lined pockets, and a packable design cater to modern needs. Perfect for layering or standalone wear, it bridges the gap between timeless design and contemporary innovation.
HAVEN / Nanga Skyline Jacket
Drawing inspiration from vintage mountaineering styles, the HAVEN / NANGA Skyline Jacket reimagines classic outdoor designs with a modern edge. Its lightweight, water-resistant shell, crafted from recycled nylon, and premium 860 fill-power Polish goose down deliver unmatched warmth and performance for cold-weather environments. The distinctive gradated diamond quilting not only enhances insulation but also adds a unique visual texture. Designed for adaptability, it features a packable design, microfleece-lined pockets, and our signature underarm gussets for enhanced mobility. A high-neck collar with a blend of down and synthetic fill ensures both structure and warmth, offering a timeless yet technical solution for outdoor pursuits.
