We haven't been able to try on any The Initialist clothing yet. This sheet will be updated when this opportunity arises.
The offer proposed by The Initialist is quite simple: basics in a casual chic style, offered at an affordable price .
The collection is currently relatively tight. Here is a quick opinion on each of the pieces in the collection:
- T-shirt : basic, nothing to add.
- Flannel shirt : the presence of two chest pockets is interesting for those who love style. The green color seems interesting to us. The others a little less. The presence of kapok, an unusual plant fiber, is intriguing.
- Japanese denim shirt : interesting with its snap buttons, western shirt inspiration. This is a rare detail that sets it apart from the denim shirts of direct competitors. We like it or not.
- Oxford shirt : basic, nothing to add.
- Japanese selvedge jeans : an effective basic available in 4 more or less light versions, stretch or not. Fitted cut.
- Stretch chinos : basic, nothing to add. The information on the material weight may be missing to see which season the pants are best suited to.
- Wool coat : basic and in a fabric from the Italian house Loro Piana. Medium weight (coat neither very light nor very thick).
- M-51 jacket : probably the most interesting garment in the collection. The design is successful with the slightly puffy and inclined pockets, the central grosgrain throat is relevant, the slightly technical material.
Note: the confection is sometimes European, sometimes South Korean . We will try to find out why the choice of South Korea is intriguing.
It seems interesting to distinguish more basic products (t-shirt, chinos, coat) from more original ones , with a slightly stronger style proposition (denim shirt, M-51 jacket).
In any case, given the competitive prices, the brand's products seem interesting and recommendable to us.
