Omar Afridi’s SS25 collection release, the "Bove Jacket" and "Nemesis Blouson," are attracting attention from many fashion enthusiasts with their high-quality materials and sophisticated designs.
With details like the material-switching collar, stand collar, and underarm ventilation, both items have their own unique appeal. In this article, we will thoroughly explain their charm and ease of use!

Design, Silhouette, and Comfort

First, let's focus on the appearance and wearing comfort of both items.

Bove Jacket:

- Uses snap buttons on the front for easy wearing and removal.
- The main feature is the material-switching collar made of "original jacquard fabric × sand color."
- Slightly shorter length makes the overall silhouette look light.
- Equipped with underarm ventilation to stay comfortable even during humid seasons.
- Raglan sleeve design provides room around the shoulders, making it easy to move.

Nemesis Blouson：

- Minimal stand collar & hidden zip design creates a clean impression.
- Made from 70% wool × 30% nylon herringbone twill fabric, highlighting elegance and a moderate gloss.
- Although it has a regular fit, the raglan sleeves make the shoulder area comfortable.
- The cuffs have button closures, and the hem and pockets are kept simple, resulting in a design free of unnecessary elements.
- It is also equipped with underarm ventilation to prevent stuffiness during seasonal transitions.

Staff Fitting Comments

- Bove Jacket (Staff 175cm tall, slim build wearing size M):
"Its short length makes it easy to balance with bottoms, and the jacquard pattern is elegant. No tightness around the shoulders, and it was light to wear."

- Nemesis Blouson (Staff 180cm tall, standard build wearing size L):
"Although it’s a regular fit, the raglan sleeves make it easy to move. The stand collar makes the face look neat, and when the zip is closed, it gives off a more mode feeling. Seems like it can be used across three seasons."

Material, Quality, and Craftsmanship Commitment

Omar Afridi presents items under the brand concept of "Primitive Mode," blending traditional outerwear with modern functional beauty. The Bove Jacket and Nemesis Blouson are perfect embodiments of this core.

・ Bove Jacket

- The outer fabric is a blend of 74% polyester and 26% cotton. The original jacquard weave pattern adds a sense of luxury and lightness at the same time.
- For the lining and collar switching parts, a material of 70% wool and 30% nylon is used, ensuring warmth and a supple feel.
- The collar's material switching highlights a contrast between the jacquard pattern and sand color, adding a modern touch.
- The snap buttons are reinforced to prevent fraying even after repeated opening and closing, ensuring durability.
- The underarm ventilation not only ensures breathability but is also designed to release sweat and heat, prioritizing comfort.

・ Nemesis Blouson

- Made of 70% wool and 30% nylon herringbone twill fabric. Through bio-processing and silicone impregnation, it achieves suppleness and moderate sheen.
- A stand collar and hidden zipper create a minimalistic and sophisticated appearance.
- Careful attention is paid to the stitching of the sleeves and underarms, ensuring smooth transitions at the raglan sleeve switching to reduce friction.
- High-quality parts are used in details such as button cuffs and flap pockets.
- This model also adopts underarm ventilation, allowing for comfortable wear across seasons.

Common to both jackets is the brand’s pursuit of "functionality × beauty." Their meticulous approach to material sourcing, sewing, and finishing attracts fans seeking genuine outerwear that can be cherished for a long time.

Points for Choosing the Right Size

One of the challenges when selecting a jacket is the sense of size. Since the Bove Jacket and Nemesis Blouson each have different silhouettes, please refer to the following points.

・ Bove Jacket

- Short length and slightly wide body width. Please note that the length is "shorter than a regular jacket."
- "If you usually wear M size, M is fine. However, taller individuals should check the length before choosing."
- Unless layering a thick knit underneath, choosing your regular size is sufficient.

・ Nemesis Blouson

- Close to a regular fit, but with raglan sleeves providing room around the shoulders.
- The sleeve length gives a slightly long impression, so even those with longer arms can feel at ease.
- If you plan to layer sweatshirts or knits underneath, consider sizing up one size to avoid a bulky look.

On our EC site product pages, we also post detailed comments including staff height, weight, and worn sizes. If you're unsure, be sure to check there, and if you still have concerns about sizing, please use our inquiry form.

Care Instructions and Durability

As both items are made with natural fibers like wool and cotton, dry cleaning is generally recommended. If washing at home, always check the care label first, and use a laundry net or gentle hand wash mode.

When storing on a hanger, use a thick hanger that firmly supports the shoulder area to prevent deformation. Also, avoid humid places and direct sunlight, and aim to store them in a well-ventilated environment.

Wool and cotton blends can maintain a beautiful texture for a long time with proper care. The fact that they hardly lose shape even after repeated wear is proof of carefully selected quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship. Perfect for those seeking a "long-lasting piece."
