LOVERS JACKET

HIP-LENGTH SHEARLING JACKET IN MILITARY GREEN W/ RED EMBROIDERY AND DTG PRINT.

THIS GENDERLESS JACKET IS CUT IN A STRAIGHT SILHOUETTE WITH A FIXED OVERSIZED HOOD AND BROAD SHOULDERS ENGINEERED TO SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE MATERIAL. SHOULDER PADS ARE BUILT INTO THE STRUCTURE TO HOLD ITS FORM.

DOUBLE CUSTOM ZIPPERS AT CENTER FRONT ARE CONCEALED BY A LINED PLACKET—FUNCTIONING AS BOTH CLOSURE AND CONCEALMENT.

THE FRONT, RIGHT SLEEVE, AND BACK ARE EMBROIDERED WITH MANDARIN TEXT—INTRICATE THREADWORK THAT PLAYS AGAINST THE FLAT DEPTH OF A DIGITALLY PRINTED PAINTING ACROSS THE BACK: TWO LOVERS SITTING AT THEIR FAVORITE HOTPOT RESTAURANT.

THIS PAINTING WAS DEVELOPED IN COLLABORATION WITH THE ARTIST @H34AA10—A SHARED ATTEMPT TO CAPTURE A MEMORY TOO TENDER TO LAST.

SLEEVE EMBROIDERY: “THE SWEETEST DREAMS ARE ALWAYS THE EASIEST TO WAKE FROM”  A CHINESE PROVERB DESCRIBING HOW THE MOST INTENSE, BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCES—LIKE LOVE—ARE ALWAYS THE MOST FLEETING.

FRONT EMBROIDERY: “UNIFORM”

BACK EMBROIDERY: "ETERNITY WITH YOU"

THE COLOR PALETTE NODS TO CHINESE MILITARY GARMENTS, BINDING THE THEMATIC ARC OF LOVE, MEMORY, AND NATIONAL TEXTURE.

EMBROIDERY AND DTG—TWO OPPOSING ENDS OF A TECHNICAL SPECTRUM—ONE PERMANENT, ONE PERMISSIVE.

THIS PIECE WAS BUILT TO FREEZE A MOMENT IN TIME—THE HEIGHT OF LOVE, CAPTURED BEFORE ITS INEVITABLE SLIDE.

ENGINEERED FROM UPCYCLED MATERIALS TO MINIMIZE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT.
