The Ienki Ienki Michlin Jacket: Every Version, Explained

The Michlin is Ienki Ienki‘s best-selling down jacket, a belted, hooded puffer the house says was inspired by the Michelin Man, and it is the single most recognisable piece in our designer puffer jackets edit. This guide explains each version and which fabric to choose.

The shape is simple to describe. The volume comes from the down, a detachable, adjustable belt pulls it in at the waist, and the result is an hourglass line rather than a box. It has a fixed hood, a high collar, elasticated cuffs, a silver Riri zip and button fastenings.

The four versions

The classic Michlin

Cut in several house fabrics, with a cotton body lining and nylon-lined sleeves. Ienki Ienki Michlin Jacket Kiss Black uses the Kiss fabric; Ienki Ienki Michlin Jacket Ennio Red, Ienki Ienki Michlin Jacket Ennio Beige and Ienki Ienki Michlin Jacket Ennio Khaki use Ennio; Ienki Ienki Michlin Jacket Leon Copen Blue and Ienki Ienki Michlin Jacket Leon Green use the Leon fabric; Ienki Ienki Michlin Jacket Micro Brown uses Micro.

The Cozy Michlin

A double-face construction, with the same fabric inside and out. The house says this makes it lighter and softer, and the fill rises to 95% white goose down. See Ienki Ienki Cozy Michlin Jacket Micro Blue and Ienki Ienki Cozy Michlin Jacket Micro Orange.

The Bear Michlin

Ienki Ienki Bear Michlin Jacket Micro Pink adds two rounded ears to the fixed hood and keeps the removable belt.

The Fox Michlin

Pointed fox ears on the hood, silver-toned Riri hardware and the same removable belt: Ienki Ienki Fox Michlin Jacket Micro Mocco and Ienki Ienki Fox Michlin Jacket Leon Grape.

Michlin versions compared

How we compared: outer fabric, fill and lining are copied from the Ienki Ienki product pages on 7 November 2026; the size run is the Coveti listing. Where the house publishes nothing, the cell says so. We list no prices because they change by market.

How to wear a belted puffer

Keep the belt on. The whole point of the Michlin is the contrast between volume above the waist and a narrow line below it, so slim trousers, straight jeans and knee boots work better than wide legs. A short skirt with thick tights and lug-sole boots is the other easy route. With the belt off, the jacket falls straight and reads closer to a classic hooded puffer.

If you want the volume without the belt, look at Ienki Ienki Wendy Jacket Leon Copen Blue, which is longer and looser, and at Ienki Ienki Kenny Jacket Leon Green, a cropped hooded shape. For the short end of the range, our edit of cropped puffer jackets has more.

Michlin around the world

“Belted puffer jacket” averages 2,900 searches a month worldwide and reaches 8,100 in November. “Ienki ienki michlin” itself is small, about 70 a month, because most buyers know the shape before they know the name. In London and New York the Michlin is a city coat; in Dubai and Riyadh our clients buy it for winter travel.
