big pocket overshirt brooks brothers six
My partner and I have been working hard to advance our designs here at Sillage without losing the brand’s identity, our latest focus being on creating a shirt that goes beyond the typical “shirt”, and the new “Wide Pocket Overshirt” is the long-awaited fruit of our labor.
When designing a shirt, it’s always important to understand the fabric you’re working with, as different fabrics will almost always result in different shapes, and our new design fits perfectly with the collage of up-cycled antique fabrics we’ve chosen for our upcoming Sillage Artisanal Collection.
As expected, we’ve kept the Sillage DNA in the design of the shirt by giving it a wide and long body, with oversized cuffs firmly attached to the sleeves in order to create slack in the shape of the sleeves themselves – a quality that rounds out the shirt as a whole and creates optimum balance in design. The jacket also has big pockets on both the left and the right side, resulting in a look that closely resembles a blouson, while the heaviness of the fabric on the body creates a firm drape that adds an air of elegance to any outfit.
All in all, we feel like our new Overshirt is perfect in every way, and we plan to make this level of perfection our new standard here at Sillage.
Our latest project here at Sillage takes another step in the right direction as we shift our focus more and more to incorporate the concepts of sustainability and up-cycling into our core beliefs.
After carefully sourcing a small collection of pieces, we cut the uniforms into square patches and then sewed them together to create sheets of patchwork fabric.
From there, we then had our artisans in Tokyo re-work the patchwork sheets by hand and had them cut, assemble, stitch, and sew the different sections of the sheet together. Afterward, the clothes were then sent to our factory in Okayama for the buttoning process. Our overshirts have been made using vintage Brooks Brothers shirts we've carefully selected. No two products are the same, and each one will be numbered and drawn by hand by a good friend Naoyuki Yoda.
***This is a product made through the process of up-cycling used/vintage fabrics. Because of the nature of used/vintage fabrics, some pieces may show signs of fraying, dirt, scratches, fading, etc. Please be aware of this before you purchase anything, thank you.
Ready to ship in 2 to 3 business days.
Sillage Artisanal Collection
サスティナブルな取り組みの一つとしてSillageからの新しい提案
それが"Artisanal Collection"
元ある使い古した服をスクエアなピースに解体
それらをランダムに縫い合わせ、大きな生地に
その生地をパターンに合わせ裁断 縫製する
その工程を全て一人の職人が担当し、
最後に一人のアーティストがハンドペイントでナンバリングしていく
そして全てアイテムが１つずつ違う表情に
長い工程を経るからこその価値と
使い古したものにまた新たな価値を与える
そんな新しい提案をしていくコレクションです
素材はBrooks Brothers のビンテージのシャツです。
スタイルはシャツを超えるシャツを作りたいという思いでデザインを進めた結果辿り着いたワイドポケットオーバーシャツ。
身幅も着丈も袖口もオーバーサイズながら、カフスがしっかりとあることにより袖のたるみを演出でき、最適なバランスを導き出します。
シャツというカテゴリーのデザインながら、生地により大きく表情を変えることも魅力です。
ジャケット生地では両サイドのビッグポケットがまるでブルゾンのようなイメージになりますし、シャツ生地ではしっかりとドレープが出てエレガントさを演出します。
Sillageの新定番となる予感のする完成度です。
