Brand: Moncler Size: Free Condition: Brand new, unused Retail price: Approximately 60,000 yen Moncler, a brand specializing in down jackets, was founded in 1952 in Monestier-de-Clermont, a suburb of Grenoble, France. The name "Moncler" is derived from the abbreviation of "Monestier-de-Clermont." The company continued its research to meet the demands of alpinists, and its products were adopted as equipment for the 1954 Italian Karakoram expedition, the 1955 French Makalu expedition, and the 1964 American Alaska expedition. In 1968, Moncler was adopted as the official wear for the French national team at the Grenoble Olympics. In December 2013, the company became a publicly listed company [1]. In December 2020, it announced the acquisition of the Italian sportswear brand Stone Island [2]. Moncler's down jackets are awarded "4 Flcorons" (Quatre Flacons) by AFNOR (French Standardization Association). They use goose down, and the amount of down used is determined in 1g units for each part of the jacket. Because they are produced by craftsmen, mass production is not possible. In addition to quality and functionality, the designs are made to make the body lines look beautiful, even though they are down jackets. In recent years, the brand has expanded its product line to include items other than down jackets, such as polo shirts.
