# AND WANDER FW26: เสื้อผ้าภูเขาที่ไม่บังคับให้คุณขึ้นเขา

## The Names Tell You the Fabric, Not the Shape

Read the and wander labels at Onion one at a time. Octa. PERTEX SHIELD. Dyneema. Ny Taffeta. High Loft Fleece. What comes first in almost every name is not the shape of the garment, it is the cloth. With clothes built this way, the fabric is the biggest decision anyone makes. Everything after it is following that decision correctly.

and wander has worked this way since its first season in 2011, and Fall/Winter 2026 stays on the same road.

The brand launched in 2011 under Keita Ikeuchi and Mihoko Mori, neither of whom came out of the outdoor industry. Ikeuchi graduated from Tama Art University and worked on the ISSEY MIYAKE MEN design team. Mori graduated from Esmod Japon Tokyo and worked on the ISSEY MIYAKE design team. The name comes from the word wander, meaning to roam with no destination, because both of them wanted people to enjoy being outside casually rather than only on a hard push for a summit. On the layering rules of outdoor dressing, they have said that playing strictly by the rules is no fun, so they always try to make something slightly out of place.

The brief for Fall/Winter 2026 is a set of clothes that moves between mountain weather and city life without a change of outfit. The season runs on cloth: PERTEX shells, down, grid fleece, Cordura nylon in the bags, and footwear made with an outside partner. The pieces are designed as a system rather than one at a time.

The first lot at Onion covers all three layers of dressing for a mountain. Outermost is the PERTEX SHIELD rain jacket. In the middle, POLARTEC fleece and a fishtail coat lined in Octa. Below, Ny Taffeta pants whose legs zip off, then a women's cargo skirt and a Dyneema sacoche to finish. Split-yarn ripstop turns up in both the coat and the skirt, which tells you the season really was thought out from the cloth forward.

> The jacket that holds up to rain on a mountain and the jacket you can wear into town do not have to be two jackets. That is the brief for this season.

Ikeuchi and Mori once said they wanted the brand to be a window opening onto the outdoors. Fifteen years on, the window is still open, and it has never set conditions on who gets to look through it.
