Graphpaper x DESCENTE's Latest Collab Reconstructs the Mizusawa Down Masterpiece, MOUNTAINEER
Returning to the MOUNTAINEER after the ANCHOR, the model gets an oversized update true to Graphpaper’s signature style.
Graphpaper and DESCENTE have announced the DESCENTE for Graphpaper Oversized MOUNTAINEER, their latest collaborative model based on the Mizusawa Down jacket.
The MOUNTAINEER, Mizusawa Down’s flagship model, serves as the base. While retaining the original’s functionality and details, it has been reconstructed into an oversized silhouette with extra room in the body and sleeves. The length is set slightly shorter, highlighting the volume typical of a down jacket while adjusting the overall balance. Available in one size, it accommodates a wide range of body types and layering options.
The partnership between the two brands began in 2019. Since then, they have consistently released products, including reconstructed silhouettes based on the MOUNTAINEER and ANCHOR, as well as a unique approach that fused the designs of both models. After working with the ANCHOR in previous seasons, they return to the MOUNTAINEER this season. Building on the knowledge cultivated through past collaborations, they have created a jacket that combines DESCENTE’s technical prowess with Graphpaper’s pursuit of space within clothing.
This season sees changes not only to the silhouette but also to the material of the Mizusawa Down itself. Starting from the Fall/Winter 2026 collection, the traditional polyester material has been replaced with a nylon material featuring a PFAS-free water-repellent finish. In addition to a supple texture, it offers breathability and stretch for a more comfortable fit. While this material shift looks toward reducing environmental impact, it maintains the functionality and quality of the original product.
Of course, the signature features of Mizusawa Down remain intact. The use of non-quilted thermal bonding minimizes water intrusion through the seams, while the front is equipped with dual-zip ventilation to efficiently release heat and moisture from inside the garment. You can enjoy a highly functional, technical down jacket with Graphpaper’s signature relaxed silhouette.
The DESCENTE for Graphpaper Oversized MOUNTAINEER comes in black and is priced at 176,000 yen (including tax). It will be available on Saturday, November 14th, at Graphpaper directly managed stores and the official online store.
