Hong Kong’s CLOT wanted to create a special garment which could effectively transcended eastern and western culture to create a united garment. The by-product of this achievement yielded the CLOT Royale Western shirt. In recent memory, the Japanese market has often taken the Western shirt and reinterpreted it as their own. For CLOT, the problem lied on how CLOT could create a product that could cater to the local market. Traditional Western shirts often utilize a denim yoke. To give the product an inherent Chinese feel, CLOT went the route of silk on the yoke. The use of silk is accompanied by careful selection of the flannel design and detailed buttons. In the end, CLOT managed to offer an updated and elegant reinspiration on timeless classic. This shirt is set to release at Juice on Thursday, October 18th with a price tag of $1,780 HKD (approximately $230 USD).
Hong Kong’s CLOT are set to release ver. 2 of their Worker shirt. Unlike the original ver. 1 created in blue, this upcoming release will incorporate a beige body with green highlights. CLOT also created various details for this shirt. The patches include the popular pop culture “hi my name is…” patch as well as a pen holder on the breast pocket. The shirt is also constructed of a heavier duty fabric so although it is a short sleeve shirt, it provides just enough warmth for the cooling climate. Available now at Juice.
For computer company Hewlett Packard’s latest “The Computer is Personal Again” campaign, they teamed up with Hong Kong label CLOT to promote their cause.
