Summary
POST ARCHIVE FACTION’s FW26 collection revisits performance and established wardrobe forms.
The Eclipse set uses strip-like paneling to create fluid movement.
Pom-pom accessories, Petal Sneakers and Cut Out Boots round out the release.
POST ARCHIVE FACTION (PAF) is rolling out its Fall/Winter 2026 collection following the season’s “Drifter” runway presentation earlier this year. The range reflects PAF’s continued interest in moving between performance-minded design and unconventional reinterpretations of established forms, with a subdued palette allowing its proportions, textures and construction details to take focus. Footwear further expands the collection’s interplay between technical and traditional references.
Leading the release is the archival River Jacket, arriving in Sky Blue, Navy and Olive Green. Elsewhere, the Eclipse Bomber and its matching pants make a statement through their all-black palette and intricate construction. Built from an array of strip-like panels sewn together, the set creates a fluid, almost rippling effect with movement, while its stealthy color scheme keeps the overall look restrained.
Other featured pieces extend into knitwear and accessories, ranging from a button-up cardigan to hats and gloves. Pom-poms emerge as a recurring motif, appearing at the top of the Pom Beanie across three versatile colorways, covering the Pom Pom Pom Trapper, and finishing each fingertip of the Pom Pom Gloves. Footwear rounds out the release with the low-profile Petal Sneakers, offered in Malva Grey, Brown, Black and White with a suede-like finish and subtle cutout detailing. Meanwhile, the lace-up Cut Out Boots arrive in black and earthy beige with a more classic construction. The FW26 drop will be available through PAF’s official webstore and authorized stockists worldwide.
