Wingman Blouson - White Wing
Wingman Blouson - White Wing
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
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.
Pair this with: cream, navy or brown. Perfect for spring/summer worldwide. Wear it with our Cuban Camp Collar Shirt in ‘Sunset’ or Terry Popover in Cloud White during your stay in resorts with a pair of espadrilles and favourite pair of sunnies.
Also available sandstone, olive and navy

Long, but right before your knees, keeping your proportions right, also exemplifying pleated perfection.
If a pair of shorts go too long, covering one's knees, it makes one looks short. If the shorts are done too short and timid, it would look more like a pair of swim trunks, or worse, boxers. This artefact is all about striking the perfect balance, and we managed to find the unrivalled solution.
As part of The Anthology’s resortwear series, this is a ‘modern-vintage’ design made in a cotton/linen blend as a quintessential item, suitable to wear on the beach, the city, or even an excursion.
The form of the shorts is the true essence — it embodies chic and comfort. With practicality in mind, the design comes with slight volume around the thigh and the opening, ensuring the piece to be generous around the thigh part, allows ventilation.
The use of cloth is also the highlight. Cotton as the major constituent upholds a supple and moist look to the general garment, smoothens up linen’s characteristically dry and crisp handle. It also offers a more structural body, making creases look less wrinkly. The appeal is reminiscent of traditional preppy or English country chinos, just with an extra touch of linen for a sense of modernity and practicalism.
Linen also serves a functional purpose as it possesses a quick-dry effect and ventilating property due to its looser weaving structure, allowing wearers to enjoy their best under the heat. It is also traditionally perceived as a luxurious fabrication.
(We recommend the shorts hem to end right before your knees, otherwise, bring it to your alteration tailor for a simple alteration for the best result.)
Care tips: Cold wash (below 30°C) by hand or machine, hang dry only

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.
