The CASH CA 2013 ‘DOT TECH JACKET’ displays designer Kazuki Kuraishi’s whimsical side. The [cargo jacket](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/relwen-sailcloth-tanker-jacket) is normally manufactured in a basic color scheme with pockets or minor embellishments and Kuraishi has resurrected this basic garment. The CASH CA jacket features a [bold white polka dot pattern](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cult-gaia-x-raxxy) set against a beige background.

The [durable and functional coat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-performance-jacket) is made of DiAPLEX fabric, making it dependable and ideal for transitional weather. The polka dot jacket features micro-pores that open in hot conditions and close up in cooler conditions allowing your body temperature to regulate itself. This jacket is multifunctional and stylish.

Kazuki Kuraishi has outdone himself with this piece and proven he belongs at the helm of the label. The CASH CA 2013 ‘DOT TECH JACKET’ is the perfect blend of form, fabric and efficient design.
