highsnobiety - Victim x Schott Wool P-Coat

Having you presented previous collaborations between Japan’s Victim and Schott this season, here comes yet another piece out of this interesting partnership.

After presenting Melton Wool vets and military jackets, here come now yet another classic – the Wool P-Coat. It comes in grey and black and features very nice leather details on the pockets and the cuffs. The leather gives the jacket a visual upgrade, without overly changing this all-time classic.

The Victim x Schott Wool P-Coat is now available at Unbar.

More detailed images follow after the jump.

Loro Piana’s Baby Cashmere

Selectism - Loro Piana's Baby Cashmere

“In the mountainous regions of Inner Mongolia, Loro Piana discovered Baby Cashmere®: a rare and precious fibre exclusively obtained from the underfleece of the Hyrcus goat kid. It is gathered by means of a delicate and completely harmless procedure done only once in a goat’s life, when it is between three and twelve months old. Loro Piana Baby Cashmere® is available in extremely limited quantities: one kid produces barely 80 grams of the softest undefleece which, once the coarser outer fibres have been discarded, results in just 30-40 grams of useable fibre. So fine are the fibres of Baby Cashmere® that it takes the underfleece of 19 kids to make just one pullover.” (via Luxist)

Living Mutants Force Team Model #1 Varsity Jacket

RTEmagicC livingmutants varsity 1.jpg Living Mutants Force Team Model #1 Varsity Jacket

Living Mutants we introduced to you a little white ago, when they released a leather down jacket. The brand has a strive to only work with the best materials and people out there and present something unseen from Germany.

That is also no different with their latest pieces – the Living Mutants Force Team Model #1 Varsity Jacket. The premium reversible wool/leather varsity jacket comes in 100% heavyweight premium combed Merino Wool and sleeves made out of premium French matted cow nappa leather. The lining is a 100% cotton with camo screen print and also cuffs and collar come in 100% cotton. You can trust us when we tell you that this kind of quality you can maybe find on a Japanese brand, but nowhere else in the the market where Living Mutants wants to have an impact. The artwork of the jacket has been done by Studioanti & R .Weinberg. The jacket comes nicely wrapped in a suit bag.

We are very impressed by brands such as Garbstore and Living Mutants, which are completely different from one another, but both set the standards very high and are both a new generation of European brands.

Expect a full line to come from Living Mutants soon. Until then you should already be excited about these special pieces. The varsity jacket is limited to 100 pieces and is now exclusively available through Am Firmament.

We have a series of exclusive pictures of the jacket that you can check out after the jump.
