Kaptain Sunshine and COVERCHORD Cut a Cashmere-Linen Uniform in All Black
Leather trim, flannel lining and a wider leg upgrade two of the shop’s best-selling exclusive silhouettes.
Summary
COVERCHORD returns to Kaptain Sunshine for an exclusive two-piece set built entirely from cashmere-linen
A new “FIELD JACKET” layers leather onto its collar and inside its sleeves, then backs the body with flannel
The matching “SHOECUT WIDE EASY PANTS” relax COVERCHORD’s exclusive easy pant into a looser, wider leg, and both pieces arrive in black only
Kaptain Sunshine and COVERCHORD are teaming up again on an exclusive set made up of a new “FIELD JACKET” and “SHOECUT WIDE EASY PANTS,” both cut from cashmere-linen. Each piece was developed as a fresh pattern for the Japanese select shop. Both build on the cropped jacket and easy trouser that proved popular in the pair’s earlier collaborative runs.
The fabric does most of the talking here. By pairing cashmere with linen, the set brings a softer hand and a drier, textured surface to shapes that have previously appeared in other cloths. Keeping the run to a single colorway puts the focus on that material. In solid black, the jacket and pants read as one deliberate outfit.
The “FIELD JACKET” retains the shorter, cropped body that sold well for the shop in past exclusives, while gaining a set of upgrades on the inside and at the edges. Leather covers the collar and lines the sleeves, adding structure where the jacket rubs most and helping it slide over knitwear. A flannel lining fills out the rest of the interior, giving the cashmere-linen shell extra warmth and a brushed feel against the body.
The “SHOECUT WIDE EASY PANTS” take a different approach to updating a proven shape. Kaptain Sunshine kept the easy-wearing build of COVERCHORD’s original exclusive trouser and opened the leg into a relaxed, wide silhouette. The result is a looser counterpart to the cropped jacket, so the two pieces work as a matching set or slot separately into an existing wardrobe.
The Kaptain Sunshine x COVERCHORD collection releases November 14 at COVERCHORD Nakameguro, COVERCHORD Fukuoka and the COVERCHORD online store.
