ARTIST PROOF, FRGMT and nonnative Make the Trooper a ¥120,000 Coat, Out November 14

ARTIST PROOF and Hiroshi Fujiwara's FRGMT are back with nonnative for another Trooper, and this time it is a coat. nonnative's own post calls it the group's fourth collaboration, and its product page lists the ARTIST PROOF / FRGMT x nonnative Trooper Coat Nylon Twill with WINDSTOPPER (item NN-J4954) for Saturday, November 14, 2026, at ¥120,000, in olive and black, sizes 0 to 4.

It goes on sale at the nonnative shop and the nonnative shop Osaka, COVERCHORD Fukuoka and COVERCHORD Online, the ARTIST PROOF online store and ARTIST PROOF's official dealers, and Gallery HBX in Hong Kong, where it is part of a nonnative pop-up that runs November 14 to 23. nonnative's page gives no release time and no raffle or purchase limit; COVERCHORD's post says "11:00-" for November 14 without naming a time zone.

nonnative's page has no description, so the photos do the talking. The coat is a long fishtail parka in nylon twill: stand collar, covered front zip, two flap pockets, a drawcord hem with an adjuster at the back of the waist, and a split tail at the back. nonnative's post adds raglan sleeves, a two-way front zip and a WINDSTOPPER lining, and describes updated proportions and an oversized, roomy fit. The olive one shows a brown lining at the collar.

The branding is hidden in plain sight. According to nonnative's post, the printed graphics of earlier Troopers are replaced here with removable hook-and-loop patches. Pulling off the round patch on the chest shows the FRGMT logo, a tonal lightning-bolt circle, and pulling off the tab across the upper back shows a large tonal ARTIST PROOF logo. The patches themselves carry the nonnative logo, so the coat can show all three labels or hide them.

How we got here

The Trooper name goes back to the Trooper Puff Blouson, which COVERCHORD's journal says sold out almost at once. Its December 20, 2025 post introduced an updated Puff Blouson, which it numbered as the second collaboration, and calls the MA-1 "Innovaten": the same WINDSTOPPER nylon twill, a one-tone ARTIST PROOF logo on the front, "Innovaten" printed across the back (an anagram of nonnative), and a new olive colour. The counts differ by source: nonnative's post for this coat says fourth, so we haven't numbered the earlier ones.

Our read

The Trooper has moved from a bomber to a long parka, the more useful shape for a Tokyo winter. And where the Puff Blouson printed a word across the back for those who got the joke, the coat covers the partners' logos with removable patches, and the logos underneath are tonal, black on black, so with the patches on it reads as a plain black nonnative parka. For a collaboration whose earlier run sold out fast, that restraint is the point: the people who want it know what they're looking at.
