ELIANE JACKET “BLACK”

Details:

- A short-cut zip blouson featuring an original jacquard fabric inspired by the designer's personal archive of vintage dress shirts. The textile is a study in contrasting textures, woven at a heritage mill in Hachioji using custom-twisted warp yarns and an alternating linen-rayon weft. The fabric then travels to Niigata for a specialized Nidom finishing process, a mechanical beating technique that gently breaks down the fibres to create a soft, naturally lived-in texture. This process gives the jacquard an exceptional fluid drape while retaining the resilient 'koshi' (rebound) characteristic of traditional tailoring. In a distinctive design choice, the reverse side of the jacquard is used as the face of the garment, offering a more understated, textured interpretation of the original vintage motif.

The jacket is insulated with 100% natural silk mawata (hand-stretched silk) padding, offering a rare combination of lightweight warmth, breathability, and a soft, comfortable hand-feel. Silk naturally absorbs and releases moisture at approximately 1.5 times the rate of cotton, helping to manage perspiration and maintain a dry, comfortable feel. Its ability to trap air within the fibres provides effective insulation against the cold while allowing excess heat and moisture to escape. Naturally temperature-regulating and hypoallergenic, the silk filling offers warmth in cooler conditions while remaining breathable across changing seasons.
