24SS SALE pickup "TT STAND COLLAR JACKET"
Hello.
This is Noguchi from CASANOVA&CO.
Following on from last time, I would like to introduce some items I picked out from the discount sale of 24SS24SS items.
Today we have TT.
TT
STAND COLLAR JACKET
color _ Beige
size _ 38,40
It is a single layer jacket with a stand collar.
It is single-layered and has no lining, and has a large pocket at the waist, making it a coverall-style work jacket.
In terms of the overall look, I think this is a TT jacket that incorporates a slightly European element.
Specifically, the slope of the shoulders and the three-dimensionality of the sleeves.
The period that TT often focuses on, about 100 years ago, around the 1920s, is said to have been a time when America was undergoing a transformation into an economic structure based on mass production and mass consumption.
To meet the needs of the time, workwear required to be mass-produced, and specifications changed to improve production efficiency and durability.
It is believed that the reason why American workwear from the 1920s was often made with a flat structure and straight stitching that was suitable for mass production is due to the historical context.
However, this is not the case for workwear in Europe, even though it is from the same era.
In Europe, where the culture and techniques of tailoring are deeply rooted, its influence is strongly reflected in workwear, with the shoulders and sleeves often being three-dimensionally designed to fit the shape of the human body.
The STAND COLLAR JACKET has a three-dimensional structure around the shoulders and sleeves, so even when hung on a hanger, it maintains the same shape of the shoulders and arms as when a human is standing upright.
On the other hand, the patch pockets on the waist are sewn in straight lines, creating a balanced look that mixes European elements with American workwear.
It's easy to miss, but this buttonhole is out of the ordinary.
By adjusting the sewing machine, the buttonholes have a coarser texture and an older look.
The buttons are dyed nut buttons (coconut buttons).
This color is also reminiscent of Bakelite buttons.
All of the elements that make up this garment have been designed to look natural in the future that TT envisions.
The fabric is a high-density chino cloth made from fine yarn known as "West Point" that has little pilling.
It is sometimes abbreviated to "weapon."
The name of this "weapon" comes from the West Point Military Academy of the United States Military.
It seems to be a school with over 200 years of history, but it is known as one of the most difficult schools to get into in the United States because it requires high academic ability and physical strength.
In other words, it is an elite training school for the US Army.
The name "weapon" comes from the fact that it was used as the school uniform.
The "weapons" used by TT are woven slowly and carefully on a shuttle loom at a very high density.
So when it's new it has a crisp hardness, but I think it will develop a much nicer look as you use it.
If you look at the photo of someone wearing it, you can see that it doesn't fit the body very closely, but I would like to see the owner tame it as much as they can.
Just wear it. Wear it over and over. It's OK even if you wash it.
It will feel softer and the shape will improve.
This is a piece that will live up to your expectations the more you wear it.
Takahashi is an American vintage collector who owns museum-quality pieces.
His countless collections, which are said to exceed the number of first-come-first-served, have been collected over the course of his life, his roots in Japan where he was born and raised, and his roots in Europe where he learned how to make clothes.
In 2021, these two ideas were combined to launch the new brand Taiga Takahashi.
Now, the TT team has firmly inherited Takahashi's will and will continue to develop in the future.
The idea of creating something that will last 100 years makes you feel that it is not just about leaving behind physical objects, but also people's thoughts and will, and even evidence of their existence.
Using iron needle cinches that are not rust-proof is also
Rough buttonholes,
Bakelite style buttons,
Weapons are woven in a tightly packed manner on shuttle looms,
These are not reproductions based on the idea that "clothes were like this in the old days."
Everything at TT is made with the intention that it could become an archaeological artifact in 100 years' time, and that the time that has passed will be made visible at that time.
At the same time, the fact that the person who received it was its owner will also be remembered.
I would be very happy if this outfit, and the TT, could be seen by someone who will take up the baton that will be passed on to us in 100 years' time.
