Our new fall collection: presentations 🍁

The durability of English tweed

Basically, my desire behind this down jacket was to have comfort, a feeling of a very useful bubble of warmth in the face of wind, cold and humidity.

I really like down jackets made from wool fabrics, because the elegance of wool contrasts radically with the nylons usually used by the majority of brands.

And for the wool of this down jacket, I wanted a durable, raw fabric, with real relief, and completely resistant to winter. So we found our happiness at Moon, an English weaver in business since 1837!

It is one of the last English weavers to be vertically integrated, meaning that the raw wool bales arrive at Moon, are then spun and woven on site, to have total control over the quality of their fabrics.

Moon also makes many efforts to be ever more responsible:

• 10% of its energy comes from its own solar panels, a share that Moons wishes to increase,
• total recycling of wool fibers during the production stages, not a single fiber should go into the trash!
• new industrial investments (machines and lights) that are more economical in electricity,
• recycling (often internally) of packaging, whether plastic or cotton bale packaging,

It is also a very strict supplier on animal welfare: their wool is mulesing free (certified without animal abuse) and the sheep are necessarily fed on pasture grass, for example.

One of the best synthetic insulation on the market

And to keep you warm, you needed my favorite insulation: Climashield APEX. Made in the United States, it is a high-end and durable insulation, used by the most renowned outdoor brands.

His secret? It is made of continuous fibers, which stay in place, and are therefore durable. In addition, they resist numerous compression and decompression cycles. This is why Climashield APEX is used by very high-end brands of sleeping bags!

These fibers, unlike down, manage humidity well. So if you get a little hot from running behind your train in winter, don't worry, and let the fibers do their job and wick the moisture away from your body quietly.

The body of this down jacket has insulation weighing 167g/m2. It is a thickness that will allow you to go without problem in negative temperatures. By playing with the layers worn underneath, you can wear it from 15 to -5 degrees.

In short, more than ever, this down jacket combines the heritage of a century and a half of English weaving with one of the most proven modern insulators.

Safe value for an infallible locker room

If you had to keep just one sweater, it would be this one.

A knitted sweater to accompany you everywhere, neither too thin nor too thick, which keeps you warm just right and which does not take up too much space in a suitcase.

It is made of pure extra-fine merino wool from Italy, with all the properties of wool that go with it: low odor, thermo-regulating, naturally absorbent...

Extraordinary material

This one is one of my favorites! Because its composition is quite crazy with 4 different fibers: wool for warmth, linen for texture, silk for brightness and cashmere for softness.

It’s stunning…

Surprising overshirt

Do you notice anything special about the pockets?

There is no flap on the left. It's like she's winking at you.

We like to make an outfit interesting with this kind of discreet imbalance that adds a twist.

A form of workwear sprezzatura that we wanted to find here.

Perfectly Imperfect Chambray

As many people wear chambray shirts, we like to look for a little something extra in the texture.

This has a deep grain with small imperfections (present in the weft threads), which give it a raw side. As if it had grown somewhere in nature.

Except that in this case, it grew on a Japanese loom. These machines are almost the only ones that can achieve this effect.

The dense hand of this chambray is ideal to be worn as an overshirt, but you can also wear it next to the skin.

This velvet does not play in the same league

We don't see velvet like that every day, do we? With these little irregularities!

It is called “seersucker velvet”, in reference to its texture which is reminiscent of the summer fabric of the same name. It is obtained by stretching the threads before weaving, so that they retract afterwards.

And for the record, we came across it while developing a cap. We loved it so much that we decided to make all our velvet overshirts with it.

It is very pleasant to wear thanks to its thick ribs. Besides, you can also wear it as a shirt. We designed it for that (as well as the size of the buttons).

I saved my favorite for last...and yours too! Because it is one of our bestsellers, of which I let you appreciate the new rust color.

Multifunction

You often tell us and I agree: it's the most practical of our overshirts.

It makes my life easier to go from cool mornings to temperate afternoons or from indoors to outdoors, thanks to the thermoregulation of its wool (100%) and the breathability of its cotton lining (organic).

When I travel, I immediately think of her. Because I can wear it for several days in a row without my nose suffering (thanks again, wool). Whether as a jacket in mid-season or under a coat in winter.

And I find that it does all this while giving character to my outfits, with this rustic and authentic side of Italian jersey.

Thank you for reading us and see you soon!
