High-Neck Short Blouson Featuring Panel Construction

A high-neck, short-length blouson crafted from military-spec high-density Ventile® cotton (L28).
Its key feature is the large single-panel construction that runs from the back storm shield to the front gun flap, minimizing shoulder seams for a clean fit even when layered under a coat.
For everyday wear, simply layering it over a light inner piece creates a three-dimensional front and back flap effect with a natural blouson hem. Even when worn under an overcoat, the panel construction remains intact, enhancing the completeness of layered looks.

The front closure uses a Swiss-made riri zipper, and the collar is designed with a chin strap stand collar to block wind and adjust the look. Goat leather, vegetable-tanned in Italy, is used on the back neck and pocket openings, balancing durability with visual accent.
Raglan sleeves ensure a full range of motion, and the elastic hem makes blousing easy, allowing for a rounded, tucked-in silhouette with minimal effort.

The silhouette showcases the brand's unique pattern-making technique, combining a compact length with a loose fit.
While the body length is kept short, there is ample room in the body and sleeves, allowing the hem volume to create an elevated center of balance when paired with wide or straight pants.
Based on the balanced proportions of classic MA-1 and L-2B jackets, the large flap running from the right chest to the back highlights the functional design origins at the forefront.

The Ventile® L28 fabric used here is highly functional, providing weather resistance without relying on synthetic membranes or coatings by weaving extra-long staple cotton at an extremely high density.
When exposed to moisture, the cotton fibers swell to block water penetration, offering excellent windproofing, breathability, and durability, while also minimizing rustling noise.
The lining is 100% cupro, providing smooth comfort against the skin and ensuring easy wearability, balancing the rugged outer texture with refined inner details. This meticulous attention to detail exemplifies the brand’s commitment to quality.

For the inner layer, we selected a shirt featuring eye-catching chest pockets designed to hang like flaps, with both the opening and pouch stitched directly onto the shirt.
The pockets are gusseted and divided into two compartments, allowing you to conveniently separate items like a smartphone and a card case. The hidden placket creates a clean, flat front, making it ideal for layering under jackets or coats for a neat overall appearance. Additionally, the buttons are made from natural tagua nut, offering a tactile feel and organic look, adding a subtle yet striking detail.

The silhouette offers a relaxed fit with extra room in the shoulders and body, making it versatile as both a standalone shirt and a light outerwear piece.
The fabric used is a high-performance cotton called "Ventile__ 130 ORG," developed with a focus on lightness and sustainability. It is woven at high density from 100% GOTS-certified organic extra-long staple cotton and finished with a PFC-free water-repellent treatment. As a result, it repels light rain and resists wind.
Because no coating is used, breathability is maintained, preventing stuffiness while providing a crisp and durable texture that enhances its functional appeal.

For this styling, we also incorporated eyewear with a built-in magnetic clip-on feature, allowing for easy attachment and removal, offering a convenient 2-way design.
This versatility lets you change your look based on the setting or mood, making it a functional yet expressive pair of sunglasses that can be integrated into a wide range of outfits.
Simply wearing them adds a refined touch to the face area, enhancing the overall completeness of the styling.

Flare Cargo Pants with Exceptional Silhouette Design

These flare cargo pants feature a minimalist design with integrated tuck belt loops and a concealed front opening.
The unique waistband structure combines loops and tucks in a continuous design, adding dimensionality without increasing seams, making it look sharp even when worn without a belt. The concealed front keeps the front panel clean and flat, while a single rear pocket is positioned on the right side only. For the zipper, high-quality Swiss-made riri zippers are used, ensuring smooth operation and durability.

The cargo pockets are positioned below the knees and feature dual access from both vertical and horizontal openings. With hidden gussets, they provide ample storage capacity while maintaining a flat, streamlined appearance. This balance of storage and aesthetics ensures that even with a flared silhouette, the pants do not appear bulky at the sides, preserving a clean, tailored look.

The silhouette is designed as a wide flare. Ample room is provided in the thighs, with a smooth, elegant flare toward the hem to create a clean, flowing line.
The straight-line structure of the flare prevents the hem from bunching up, even when paired with boots or leather shoes, and allows the front panel to accommodate various top volumes.

The color is a deep olive tone.
Reminiscent of military wear, this subdued shade pairs seamlessly with black and gray tops, as well as light colors such as white and beige. These pants combine the functionality of cargo pockets with the visual elegance of flares, finished with a minimalist surface for a "modern flare" style. They transition effortlessly from everyday wear to statement styling.

For footwear, we selected GUIDI's Derby shoes, model "792VX".
The "792VX" builds on the brand's early iconic model, the "792", combining a wide last with a Vibram tank sole for modern comfort and presence. Compared to the original "792", the width is slightly increased, providing extra room from the instep to the ball of the foot, making it easier to put on.
This design reduces stress on the leather, prevents deformation, and makes it comfortable for extended wear. The shoes feature the dense aging of horse full-grain leather, approximately 4cm heels, and sturdy Italian welt construction, resulting in a durable Derby shoe built to be cherished for years.
