Tropical Sanctuary
With this resort wear series, we extend our ideas based on the core values of tailored menswear to somewhere broader since our Midsummer campaign last year. With fastidious study and unwavering dedication, we create a series of summer garments with adventurous colours yet relevant and elegant silhouettes. The collection is easy-care, well-tailored for the tropical territories, and is suitable for the well-travelled souls who go between beaches and resorts, boats and islands.
The 'Sunset’ Cuban Shirt is crafted with one of Japan’s fabric manufacturing specialities, to incorporate silk in weaving. The marginal blend gives the garment a heightened feel by presenting its luscious silkiness and fineness while maintaining the body. The colours are bright yet very well-balanced, which successfully shun the flashiness. The shirt can be paired with this season’s drawstring trousers proposition in olive linen twill to bring out a hint of sartorial sensibility, as well as cleanliness through a tailored form.
In terms of design language, the collar gracefully fans out following our pattern design and cutting, bringing out the loosened up summer flair summer as it should. This artefact introduces a relaxed, straighter shape to allow for a tank top or T-shirt layered beneath and has chest pockets on each side for your glasses and belongings. Shirt patterns are flawlessly matching to maintain subtle elegance. High split gussets are added on both ends of the garment for more action-friendly hand and pocket movements.
Introducing a new colour for our Terry Popover, this time in China Blue. This artefact is designed to be worn loosely, casually before and after a swim. Sans buttons and fastenings, also known as the ‘skipper’ style, the garment keeps its simplest form, with every other thoughtful and three-dimensional detail to support the holiday look without having to go ostentatiously.
Piped with a cushioned layer around the seams, then the end of the sleeves and the leading body, the meticulous detailing offers a drapey yet lazy feel, also full-bodied, with better definition. The rest spotlights our take on the ‘skipper’ style — a hand-attached one-piece collar that maintains the garment’s cleanliness and fans out constantly for its charming, nonchalant flair.
The Terry Popover matches with the Linen Drawstring Trousers in Honey and Cotton/Linen Double-Pleated Shorts in White.
