【ORDER SUIT｜MODEL “CASCADE”】
A greige contemporary suit tailored in wool ripstop
Introducing custom suits from apartir, a tailor in Nayahashi, Nagoya.
This piece is a greige suit made from wool ripstop, based on MODEL "CASCADE".
We pursued a balance that is "neat yet suitable for everyday wear," without being confined to the framework of classic suits.
■ The choice of wool ripstop
Generally, ripstop is a material derived from military and workwear.
By expressing it in wool, it offers:
・Lightness
・Durability
・Wrinkle resistance
while maintaining an elegant appearance.
A fabric that combines functionality and elegance, which is unusual for a suit.
■ About the fabric quality
The fabric used this time features high-quality Super140's wool for the warp threads.
Furthermore, it is tightly woven over time on an old-fashioned Schönherr loom.
As a result, it achieves:
・A supple yet firm touch
・Beautiful drape and flow
・Durability unique to high density
A highly complete fabric that combines delicacy and strength.
The "airy softness" created by slow weaving, which cannot be achieved with high-speed looms, is also appealing.
■ The “beauty of in-between” created by greige
Greige, which lies between gray and beige, has the following characteristics:
・Soft appearance
・Suitable for all seasons
・Easy to match
It's not as strong as black, nor as conservative as navy.
It's a color that naturally embodies the "current mood."
■ Design of MODEL "CASCADE"
This suit is designed with a focus on relaxation.
・Drop shoulders
A natural line that relaxes the shoulders.
・Wide lapels
Combining presence and modernity.
・Unstructured tailoring
Light comfort and a soft impression.
A piece that can be worn like a jacket, despite being a suit.
■ The perfection of the trousers
The trousers are two-pleat wide-leg trousers.
・Room around the waist
・A line that falls naturally towards the hem
・Combining ease of movement and beauty
A beautiful silhouette whether standing or moving.
■ Between "formal" and "casual"
The greatest appeal of this suit is that it is versatile.
It doesn't choose the scene.
・Pair with a shirt for business
・Pair with a T-shirt or knit for casual wear
It's a modern piece that breaks the notion of "suit = stiff."
■ Styling suggestions
・Minimal style
Black shirt × leather shoes
→ A chic impression
・Casual down
Cut-and-sew × sneakers
→ Everyday wear
・Jacket alone
Paired with denim or chinos
→ Experience its versatility
■ Why it can only be achieved with custom orders
This balance is difficult to achieve with ready-made garments, and requires:
・The way the shoulders drape
・The width of the lapels
・The balance of the jacket length
・The volume of the trousers
Everything works together to complete it.
The "just right relaxed feeling" is determined by the design.
■ For those looking for custom suits in Nagoya
At apartir, we propose custom orders that fit contemporary styles while being based on classic designs.
■ Finally
This suit is, in itself, an "update of the suit."
It looks neat, but isn't stiff.
It's relaxed, but not sloppy.
It's a piece that fits today's era.
Consultations and fittings are welcome at any time.
