This is a very different take on our flagship denim. While it’s also a Japanese selvedge indigo fabric, the mill we worked with wove pinstripes directly into the denim using a different colored thread. And there’s a special bonus for fellow denim obsessives that we’ll give away here - the weft threads are also indigo dyed. Meaning they will fade in a completely unique way over time, a process we kick-started with a light rinse.
While cotton poplin excels as a dress shirt fabric (like our striped shirts elsewhere in this collection), it’s a lot more versatile than that.
For these warm weather shirts, we used a featherweight version for when you want to cover up but not feel stifled. We added prints that go along with the feeling of freedom we have when we wear them.
Escorial wool has a storied history: the sheep it comes from were once prized by Spanish royalty, then nearly driven to extinction, then dramatically saved when their last surviving flock was brought to Australia by boat in the early 19th century. Their rare, curled fleece is still used to make some of the finest fabrics, characterized by its softness, breathability and natural stretch. It also has incredible recovery, meaning it stays wrinkle-free, keeps its shape, and almost never looks worse for wear.
In a way, it’s a performance fabric masquerading as a suiting fabric, which fits our ethos that the clothes you wear should be able to serve you well wherever your day leads you. Our Oversize Double Breasted Jacket features this noble fabric in a classic glen check, with a touch of purple that sets it apart just so.
When the weather turns warmer, we naturally gravitate to French terry cloth for our sweats - its lighter weight and looser weave make it more breathable when compared to fleece. This is a new French terry for us, made in Peru - whose expertise in knitted fabric dates back to ancient times. It is softer than our flagship French terry, and we developed a custom splatter dye to give each sweatshirt its own unique pattern.
Flannel’s soft coziness works in warmer weather when the fabric isn't too heavy (and you can always roll up your sleeves). This Portuguese version is a highly brushed twill that's lightweight, extremely soft, and suitable for year-round wear.
While heavier flannels can often serve as an overshirt or even outerwear, our Lightweight Flannel are more like a regular shirt or shirt jacket that we see as perfect for those transitional weather moments, like when a day at the beach extends into a night around a campfire.
Clothing can express both who we are and how we’re feeling on any given day. Some days we lean towards bolder prints and on others, we prefer something more toned down with subtle accents. This fabric gives us the best of both worlds. It’s actually two fabrics in one and features a woven check on one side and a softer, navy solid on the other.
It’s designed to be fully reversible, so you can choose to make more of a statement or go more low-key with the pattern peeking out in the lining or under the collar. Whichever you choose, its densely woven 2-ply cotton shell will keep you protected from the temperamental winds of spring.
This Portugese jacquard jersey incorporates an engineered pattern into the knit of its alternating stripes and is made from some of the softest cotton available. We often turn to jacquard when we want to have a subtle pattern that provides a layer of texture; we love the contrast between those patterns and the smooth black stripes of this jersey.
While we pride ourselves on making classic jeans that develop character and age beautifully, sometimes we can’t help but jazz them up out of the gate. The underlying fabric of our Striped Floral Denim is similar to our flagship denim; we added a geometric floral allover print in a muted color scheme that echoes the faded hues of aged denim while offering something different.
The nubby texture of seed-stitch knits recalls preppy style from the 80’s, when colorful cotton sweaters made in this simple pattern were readily available. Our version is breathable, with a comfortable heft. It sports a knit collar and chest pocket to further evoke that time and place.
The simplest way we can explain this fabric is to ask you to call to mind the most cleanly crisp dress shirt you can imagine - that’s poplin. While it’s incomparable for warm weather shirting, it’s a lot more versatile than that.
It can often feel like it has a structure of its own, so we used it in a double breasted jacket and a zip shirt that can also serve as a light outer layer, in addition to more traditional button down striped shirts.
Linen has been prized throughout human civilization, even though it comes from a flax crop that’s a pain to grow and even harder to turn into decent cloth. It’s because when done right, linen is almost magical - it’s lightweight and soft, yet twice as strong as cotton. It keeps you cool when it’s hot, yet insulated when it’s cool.
This Italian-made fabric comes from one of the best and unique mills around. We’re mesmerized by its beautifully irregular texture, so we went with a neutral color to let its character shine and fashioned it into a slightly oversized jacket and trousers to show off its easygoing, elegant drape.
English mills have been refining woolen fabrics for centuries. This tradition of improvement in sourcing, dyeing and weaving techniques has yielded materials which achieve world-class levels of sophistication. While this season’s Double-Pleat Trousers can hardly be called low-key, the pliability and drape of its fabric give an undertone of quiet luxury that complements its more attention-grabbing color.
Corduroy combines luxury and durability like no other material. Its modern form was developed as a more affordable alternative to velvet and shares its lustrous, soft pile. What sets corduroy apart from its relative is its strength, which comes from its ribbed construction. This ruggedness, combined with the fabric’s warmth and quick-drying properties, helped make it an outerwear staple in 19th century England - where the world’s best corduroy is still made.
This corduroy from Brisbane Moss showcases corduroy’s versatility - it’s both formal and casual, and its midweight makes it work equally well as an overshirt in warmer weather or a midlayer in cooler climes. A floral print adds a touch of its English countryside roots
It’s a miracle that Sea Island cotton still exists. It’s genetically different than most cotton you know and has been prized since ancient times for its incredibly smooth finish and durability when its extra long fibers are woven into fabric. But in the age of factory farming, pests and limited growing conditions have vastly limited the number of growers who are willing to cultivate it.
One touch of this Italian-woven moleskin fabric is enough to convince you their efforts are worth it. It’s unbelievably soft and yielding to the touch - more like cashmere than anything else we’ve felt. Yet it retains the strength and hard wearing characteristics of cotton. For this season, we pay tribute to this incredible cotton and the West Indian growers who’ve kept it alive and made it available to us. It’s luxurious without being precious and you’ll forever remember the first time you feel this incredible, rare, fabric.
The design details and ultralight, quick-drying Spanish nylon of our swimwear are primarily made for water-based activities like surfing. But the quality and tailoring mean they’re also very much up to the tasks of running, hiking, and climbing. We know it because we’ve used them in these ways ever since we started making them. This season, we used prints that call to mind some of the outdoor settings in which they really shine.
Geelong lambswool is among the finest and most sought-after wool in the world. Its distinctiveness comes from the breed of Merino sheep that gives it its name and also the distinct way in which its yarn is spun, which gives it an airy loft that makes it both light and insulating.
Our Argyle Sweater Vest is knit of Scottish yarns with a minimal pattern that builds a bridge to tradition without being stuck in it.
