Silk Linen Jacket

Wide silhouette work pants inspired by 1950s Sears workwear, cut with a relaxed fit through the hips and thighs and a slight taper toward the hem. Detailed with top-down belt loops and piped pocket linings, referencing classic utilitarian construction. Made from a cotton slub twill using super long staple slub yarn in the warp and a stronger slub yarn in the weft, giving a durable yet soft hand with a textured surface. Finished with an Asahi zipper and original tack button. Each pair is processed to bring out a vintage character, resulting in natural variations in texture and finish.

Vintage Twill Work Pants

Half-zip sailor hooded sweatshirt cut from a brushed cotton fabric developed through the analysis of vintage yarns and construction. The outer yarn is slightly thicker, while the softly brushed interior reflects the character of aged semi-brushed fleece. Designed with a short length and sleeves that sit between slim and relaxed for ease of layering, with no shoulder seams to create a rounded silhouette. Traditional sewing specifications are followed throughout. The finish is applied by hand to introduce subtle irregularities in colour and signs of wear, in line with vintage references. As each piece is handcrafted, variations in finish, scuffs, and small scratches are part of the design, and some fading or discolouration may occur over time.

Vintage Sailor Hood Half Zip Sweatshirt

Retrofit Hoodie is based on hooded sweatshirts from the 1930s and 1940s, reinterpreted with a thermal lining and carefully studied vintage details. The design reproduces the thin, stretched, and relaxed ribbing found on original pieces, along with irregular pocket shapes, a V-neck gusset, and a small hood that sits close to the neck rather than covering the head. Proportions and surface fading around the retrofitted areas are intentionally uneven, reflecting the wear and alteration seen on archival garments. The outer fabric is a hanging fleece developed through analysis of vintage examples and knitted at an extremely slow pace to avoid stress on the yarn, resulting in a dense yet soft structure with a fluffy hand. The thermal lining is similarly based on period references. Each garment is finished by hand to express subtle variations in colour, wear, and surface texture, with natural differences from piece to piece considered part of the design.

The Vintage Half Zip Sweatshirt is constructed from a fleece developed by analyzing yarns from an original archival piece. The outer thread is spun slightly thicker for a dry hand, while the reverse side is finished in a semi-fleece structure, giving the fabric a lived-in, vintage appearance. The design is true to period specifications, featuring a short body length, moderately thick sleeves, and a rounded silhouette created by the absence of shoulder seams. A half-zip closure completes the utilitarian detail, staying faithful to the construction methods of the original style. The fit allows ease of layering without excess bulk. Each sweatshirt is hand-finished by craftsmen, reproducing irregular fading, abrasion, and tonal variation to echo the natural aging process of vintage garments. As a result, every piece is unique, with differences in wear patterns, rubbing, and surface scratches. The dyeing process further enhances this look, though some colors may have reduced light fastness and can gradually discolor over time.

Vintage Half Zip Sweatshirt

The Silk Nep Type A-1 Jacket is made from a distinctive twill that combines extra-long staple cotton with silk neps to replicate the irregular texture of vintage materials. The warp is constructed from loosely twisted double yarns of uneven extra-long cotton, while the weft blends softly twisted cotton and silk nep yarns, creating a fabric that is both substantial and softly textured. The cloth is woven with a relaxed density, then further softened through finishing to achieve a light, airy hand. Its aged character is enhanced through sulfur dyeing, producing natural fading and tonal variation, with the twisted yarns and silk neps adding subtle shadows and depth to the surface. The interior is finished with a thick cotton twill lining that retains natural residue. Functional elements include a Riri zipper and Fiocchi fastenings, while the design is defined by steeply sloping shoulders, a compact collar, and a naturally draped silhouette.
