100% Japanese Linen
If we were to think of a trouser design that stands for the 2000s, it oughts to be a pair of drawstrings thus far. As much as we adore casual styles, this is not a sign of us giving in to the apathetic (can’t-be-bothered) attitude. The two are distinctly different.
As part of The Anthology’s resortwear series, this pair of breezy linen trousers injects with a dose of Italian Riviera chic, suitable to wear on both the beach and the city.
The modern drawstring waistband detailing does not only offer flexibility to the waist, but it essentially adorns the more casual aesthetic, also differentiating from our classically tailored trousers.
We sourced this Japanese linen twill for breathability to tackle the summer heat, while determined to retain a nicely tailored form. Flowy but tapered in cut with single reverse pleats, also equipped with welted side and back pockets, one can indulge in this pair of everyday trousers with utmost comfort while retaining a clean and smart look. Suitable for styling with just anything ranging from a t-shirt to a sports coat.
Hem can be rolled up to mimic the look of a trouser cuff if necessary. We recommend leaving it as it is.
Complete the set with: Rover Field Jacket - Sandstone
Pair this with: cream, green, blue or brown. Perfect for spring/summer worldwide. Wear it with our Cuban Camp Collar Shirt in 'Sunset' or Caramel Waffle, or Terry Popover in China Blue during your stay in resorts with a pair of espadrilles and favourite pair of sunnies.
Also available in honey, olive and navy
Care tips: Dry clean only

100% Japanese Linen
Contrary to the first edition of the Wingman Blouson, this is a breezy linen alternative to a summer-tailored jacket. This is our take on a short-cutting jacket partially inspired by the historical flight jacket, with juxtapositions of spaciousness and form-fitting illusions through edgy pattern-cutting, forming a comprehensively sculpted form with hints of softness within. Full article about the design here.
Cut straight on the body with a naturally cinched elasticated waistband and sleeve opening, the sprucely gathered puckers give contrasted shaping yet maintain a clean, but not stoic look. The four-pocket arrangement added extra points of interest to the garment. Diagonally and reversely panelled forming a strong X-shaped profile, the sartorial-minded design is heightened by a touch of edginess, looking exceptionally spiffy even as a casual outdoor blouson. Slanted 'warmer' pockets around the upper waist are shielded by an additional layer, with zippers guarding both sides of the chest. All pockets are designed with better security, all thoughtfully angled and concealed to avoid one's personal belongings from falling out.
The blouson is finished with a silver two-way zipper. When zipped up, the body forms a subtle balloon effect like a classic bomber, giving volume to express a masculine look. By releasing the lower zipper, it complements our usual mid-high-rise trousers, achieving that sleek sartorial, tailored look, and creating a distinctive high-low aesthetic. An added feature to this summer version is the snap button fastening on the cuffs, allowing sleeves to be rolled up when the heat hits.
The fabric is in a white in full linen from Japan, enriched with herringbone textures woven into the bone of the fabric. Perfect to be used for holidays as a light step-up of a blouse.
Pair this with:
Knitted T-shirt in any colors, such as navy, espresso, or ecru. For Trousers, we highly recommend Drawstring Trousers, or dress trousers in brown, olive, and vanilla.
Also available in Lightweight Feathered Grey, Turquoise, Terra Cotta, Dark Teddy, and Jet Black

100% Japanese Linen
With a penchant for clean lines and sophisticated, unfussy design philosophy, this is our take on a field jacket that offers a neat, tailored finish with a semi-modern look that strips down all military connotations but with only good functionality in mind. Perfect leisurewear for off-duty and travel.
Form follows function — Imbued with utilitarian influences, the design comes with four flap pockets with press studs, buttoned cuffs and concealed plackets, maintaining a clean front look, yet designed with an action back enabling ample movement. Shaped to a relaxed silhouette, the jacket can be worn solo or with a sport jacket underneath, equipped with internal drawstrings so you can cinch the relaxed fit for a smarter look.
Solid but airy, the garment is made of a well-bodied pure linen. With linen’s dynamic mix of yarn colours, the overall garment evokes colours and textures of the pearly sandstone, compatible with both neutral and high contrast colours.
Complete the set with: Linen Drawstring Trousers - Sandstone
Pair this with:
All shirts and polos, or any breezy summer layer. For trousers, we highly recommend Civilman Trousers or denim for casual, or pleated trousers in brown, green, grey and white for a dressier look.
100% Cotton, with slight seersucker finish
As part of The Anthology’s resortwear series, this is the long-sleeve popover based on the 1960s beach shirt with our modified twists. An expressive throw-on-and-go piece, this piece is uniquely proportioned to pivot between a standalone statement and a stylish layering piece. The design comes with an enlarged pocket and a specially designed collar with horn buttons where need be.
The essence of the design comes in the fit. The loose fit of this popover allows for unrestricted movement and comfort. The fabric gently skims the body, creating a flattering and relaxed look. With the loose-fitting flowingness, the design oozes an air of elegance, with effortless drape and graceful silhouette lending a touch of at-ease sophistication. Curved hem with raised side slits, the bottom forms a dynamic opening, taking the whole fluid form to another level.
Widely distinctive from usual shirting cloth, this design comes in a specially-sourced seersucker-textured finish cotton, faintly puckered over the abundance of asymmetrical stripes, evoking the enticing waves as seen along the summer coastlines.
Pair this with: White, beige, cream, honey, navy and denim. Perfect for the beach paired with drawstring trousers, shorts or swimming trunks. Finish off the look with your Panama hat, French espadrilles and your favourite pair of sunnies.
Care tips: Cold wash (below 30°C) by hand or machine, hang dry only

Footwear and Accessories:
We are honoured to create this collaboration model crafted by one of the last remaining English shoemakers, the formidable, dependable, failproof Crockett & Jones.
Bodley is a half-strap penny loafer designed with clean, elegant lines, such as the refined butt-stitched apron and an oval cutout.
On a 376 last, it features a modestly short vamp which is casual enough to be paired with jeans, chinos and our Civilman trousers, yet dressy enough to be taken back to more formal settings when a suit is called for. Although based on an iconic C&J shoe last, the heel counter was also modified from its predecessor, the 314 last, to hug tighter around the back of the heel for a better fit, also to accentuate the divine lines of the shoe.
This design is done in snuff suede, with a city rubber sole, Goodyear welted. Box and individual shoe bags included.
Summary:
• UK sizing
• E fitting
• 376 last
• Snuff suede upper
• City rubber sole
