Thank you for always visiting our blog.
Today, we would like to introduce the "COTTON PILE JACQUARD ZIP UP HOODIE" from the JULIUS 26SS collection, a piece that strongly reflects the season's theme.
We will also be introducing the "ZIP UP COTTON SWEAT" series, which evokes the signature creations the brand has built over the years.
We will delve into the "innovative textures" and "timeless constructive pattern work" presented by JULIUS this season.
The Expressive Pile Jacquard Embodying the Season Theme "[ mantra; ]"
The first thing that catches the eye is a piece that directly expresses the spirituality of this season's collection theme, "[ mantra; ]" (mantra, vibration).
Please take a look at the "COTTON PILE JACQUARD ZIP UP HOODIE".
In the past, JULIUS was symbolized by a rigid approach, creating clothing like "armor" to protect oneself from urban chaos.
However, in line with recent trends, this model features a highly expressive material that gently envelops the wearer's inner self.
100% Cotton Texture and Shadows Adding Depth to Solid Black
The core of this item is the 100% cotton pile jacquard fabric, which expresses complex patterns in three dimensions.
By employing a jacquard weave that forms the pattern through the fabric structure rather than a simple print, a unique unevenness is created on the surface.
This texture diffusely reflects light, creating a highly three-dimensional and rich shadow despite being a solid deep black.
The gap between the profound mood from a distance and the intricate pattern up close is truly captivating.
Unimaginable Softness and Practicality Through Stretchability
You might imagine a slightly stiff fabric from its heavy pattern, but touching it will pleasantly subvert your expectations.
While it has a slightly thick, solid, and reassuring substance, it is finished with an exceptionally soft touch unique to cotton.
Furthermore, its high stretchability is particularly noteworthy.
It closely follows the body's movements when worn, providing a comfortable fit.
Also, since the fabric itself is densely woven, there is no transparency whatsoever.
It can be reliably worn throughout the season, either as a main outerwear piece in early spring or as an inner layer for layering.
Now, please take a look at a styling using this pile jacquard hoodie.
Constructive Cuts of Curves and Lines Reminiscent of the Brand's Origins
Next, we introduce the "ZIP UP COTTON SWEAT" series, featuring a classic look that will surely bring a smile to long-time fans.
These are signature items that define the brand's image, previously developed in the "Permanent Line" which reconstructed past archives.
They are designed to strongly evoke "that atmosphere" characteristic of the masterpieces from the past.
The Vertical Constructive Beauty Created by Split Stitching and Double Zippers
The base silhouette is a vertical line that gently tapers from the shoulders down to the hem.
It features a slightly slimmer fit compared to regular hoodies, with distinct constructive cuts using darts on the body to intertwine curves and straight lines.
A double zipper is adopted at the front to expand styling options.
The high-neck structure with moderate height provides exceptional three-dimensionality around the neck.
Split stitching runs along the seams of the arms and hood.
This technique, using the stitch itself as a design boundary, elevates the industrial mood.
Based on the standard sweat material, this new release presents two entirely different expressions depending on the "presence or absence of coating".
Two Distinct Expressions Divided by Coating
The material itself is a standard sweat fabric with a soft texture and moderate tension, neither too thick nor too thin.
However, a simple change in the surface finish drastically shifts the item's direction.
"ZIP UP COATING COTTON SWEAT" with Prominent Seams and a Dull Luster
First is the styling for the "ZIP UP COATING COTTON SWEAT," which features a resin coating on the material.
The resin coating adds a profound weight to the entire fabric, creating a dull luster.
The greatest appeal is how the seam allowances emerge clearly and three-dimensionally due to the coating.
The constructive pattern work is further emphasized by the way light hits it, allowing you to fully experience the heavy, decadent mood that is the true essence of the brand.
The Plain "ZIP UP COTTON SWEAT" that Blends into the Streets
On the other hand, here is the styling for the plain "ZIP UP COTTON SWEAT" without the coating process.
This version retains the original matte and soft texture of the sweatshirt.
Lacking the heaviness of the coated model, it gives a slightly street-style, lighthearted impression.
However, since the foundational constructive cutting remains the same, it maintains the dark aesthetic without leaning too far into casual wear.
Staff Fit & Sizing
