All of the spay worn in the coordination above are light, unwaxed spring/summer specs. The regular spay is made of waxed cotton, which is synonymous with BABUA and has a rich flavor. By soaking it in wax, it is water-repellent and windproof, shutting out cold wind and rain. It looks austere and gives a martial appearance, so if you are interested, please check out the regular model as well.
