Thank you for always visiting.
Today, from the Ten C 26SS collection, we introduce the new outerwear
"FAIR ANORAK", which encapsulates the brand's philosophy.
Based on the belief of "making clothes that can be worn for a lifetime," Ten C develops products that eschew ostentatious logos.
This season's anorak also features a finish where the incredible craftsmanship is felt the moment you hold it.
The Ten C brand, reached by two master craftsmen
Before we share the appeal of the FAIR ANORAK, please let us touch briefly on the background of the Ten C brand.
I believe this will help you understand the weight of this single garment more deeply.
Furthermore, regarding the careers of the two designers, the brand's philosophy, and the unique OJJ material, we speak about them in detail in our blog post "Introduction of Ten c 26SS New Arrivals", so please take a look at that as well if you like.
In this article, we will go one step further to introduce the "origin of the anorak," which is indispensable for understanding the FAIR ANORAK.
The "First Edition" sent into the world by Ten C, named the Anorak
Two designers, Paul Harvey and Alessandro Pungetti, who passed through prestigious labels representing Italy such as "STONE ISLAND" and "C.P. COMPANY."
Under the strong philosophy that "the era of clothes with only design or only functionality is over. We will make clothes you can truly wear for a lifetime," Ten C was sent into the world after 3 years of conception and a further 2 years of production.
As the crystallization of their passion, this very anorak was chosen as the brand's "No. 1" product.
In other words, the anorak is a truly special piece for Ten C, serving as the brand's origin and symbol.
Putting on the FAIR ANORAK could be said to be like wearing the brand's DNA itself.
DNA inherited from 1960s Canadian Anoraks
The direct basis for this anorak is a 1960s Canadian military anorak that designer Paul Harvey himself owns as an archive.
Tracing its roots further, it goes back to the seal skin cold-weather gear worn by the Inuit (Caribou) hunting people of northern Canada to survive in polar environments.
Updating historical functional clothing, born to protect people in extreme nature, into the modern era with the sophisticated cutting unique to Italy.
Knowing this grand background, the way you look at the garment might change once you put it on.
An anorak that shines in the city, with ruggedness stripped away
The first thing that catches the eye is the appearance, which remains incredibly clean while retaining the inherent toughness of an anorak.
The silhouette is impressive for pursuing urban sophistication while maintaining functionality as military wear.
Concealed placket that eliminates unevenness
The front part adopts a fly front construction (concealed placket) that covers all mechanisms like zippers and buttons.
This design suppresses unevenness on the front, allowing the smooth texture of the fabric itself to stand out even more.
I feel that this noiseless mechanism is born as a necessity precisely because Ten C meticulously designs "clothing as a tool," much like buildings or industrial products, going beyond the framework of simple fashion.
Furthermore, a button-opening pocket with a diagonal cut is placed on the left chest.
It is a meticulous design aimed at an asymmetrical visual effect while ensuring convenience.
Large-capacity pockets are also provided at the bottom of the front, and the practicality of being able to go out light without a bag is a welcome point.
A light comfort unique to 26SS, wearable like a hoodie
The 26SS FAIR ANORAK is characterized by a lightheartedness that makes you want to categorize it as a hoodie or a zip-up blouson rather than a heavy outer layer.
Some people might feel intimidated when they hear "anorak," but with this light wearing comfort, you can incorporate it into your daily life without hesitation.
The true essence of Ten C, the depth of original textiles
When talking about Ten C, their unique use of materials is indispensable.
The textile used for this FAIR ANORAK shows a very deep, heavy presence in matte black (color code: 999) with suppressed gloss.
High-density fabric where lightness and tension coexist
At first glance it looks heavy, but you will be surprised by its lightness when you actually put it on.
Because it has a moderate tension while being lightweight, it is difficult for it to lose its shape when worn, and it always maintains the original 3D form of the garment.
A modest brand statement
Ten C is a brand that advocates being "logo-less," but in this work, a modest rubber print logo is applied near the lower left armpit.
It is by no means an conspicuous place, but this logo, visible during casual movements, functions as a sporty and modern accent.
Functional details that remain unfazed by changes in weather
Because the density of the fabric is high, it blocks wind from entering and provides a sense of security by repelling a bit of rain.
It truly embodies "clothing as a tool," and is a piece you can pick up without hesitation even in unstable weather in early spring or early autumn.
Despite being a cutting-edge technical material, the depth of this brand also lies in affirming the warmth of handwork and minute individual differences in processes like dyeing as "Aesthetic of error."
As you wear it, it breaks in to the wearer's body, and by having wrinkles and fading engraved into it, it changes over time into a piece just for you. Therein lies the richness unique to Ten C.
Relaxed fit with layering in mind
The silhouette is a relaxed fit with a moderate amount of room that doesn't pick up the body lines too much.
3D pattern that maximizes range of motion
Providing intentional room around the shoulders and body width is not just to create a trendy silhouette.
It is a design intended to allow for wearing thick shirts or jersey tops as an inner layer, and furthermore to pull out the maximum range of motion for the shoulders.
Due to this 3D pattern work, ease of movement and visual beauty are balanced at a high level.
Coordination centered on the FAIR ANORAK
We introduce our recommended styles for this season, featuring the FAIR ANORAK as the lead item.
Mature military style made with wide cargos
For the bottoms, it is recommended to pair it with Ten C's "PANTALONE CARGO TASCONATO" and add lightness with tech-style sneakers on the feet.
Unifying the whole in monotone or dark tones makes the matte texture of the anorak stand out even more, completing a street style that feels like mature composure.
Wearing and Size Feeling as a Spring/Summer Light Outer
The FAIR ANORAK is a light Spring/Summer outer layer that can be easily thrown on over a T-shirt.
When choosing a size, it’s best not to overthink it—simply imagine the silhouette you want to achieve.
Here are the key points we share with customers in our store.
The basic style: Layering over light innerwear
The fundamental way to enjoy this piece is by throwing it over a T-shirt or a thin long-sleeve top.
If you choose your true size, the 3D and beautiful silhouette intended by Ten C will be showcased perfectly.
On the other hand, for those who want a more relaxed look with dropped shoulders, or for those who want to enjoy layering it over a light shirt, choosing one size up is also a recommended option.
Size Guide
Based on the above, here is a general guide matched to common body types.
| Size 44 (Equivalent to S) |
For those with a slim build, or those who want a clean fit over a T-shirt. |
|---|---|
| Size 46 (Equivalent to M) |
For those with a standard build who want a clean, just-right fit. |
| Size 48 (Equivalent to L) |
For those with a standard to slightly sturdy build, or those around 175cm who prefer a roomier fit. |
| Size 50 (Equivalent to XL) |
For those with a sturdy build, or those who want to wear it like a coat over a jacket. |
Basically, if you choose the same size you usually wear, you will achieve the beautiful regular silhouette intended by Ten C.
For those who want a trendier, oversized look or those who often pair it with thicker inner layers, going one size up is the safest choice.
