From apartir , an order and select shop in Nayabashi, Nagoya,
we introduce the MODEL "GIBSON" custom jacket, which boasts a unique presence.
While based on classic tailoring,
it exudes a certain ambiance reminiscent of a British rock musician ,
making it a true "star-level" garment.
■ An aggressive balance of single-breasted front × peaked lapels
While the front features a single-breasted design,
the lapels adopt peaked lapels .
By daring to incorporate this detail, typically seen in double-breasted jackets, into a single-breasted design,
it simultaneously creates a sharp, edgy impression and a musical sensuality.
■ Hacking pockets create British sport elegance
The hip pockets are hacking pockets (slanted pockets) .
Originally a remnant of equestrian jackets,
they offer:
・Ease of movement
・An effect that makes the waist appear higher
・A sporty yet classic atmosphere
This detail achieves all of these simultaneously.
Even though it's a jacket,
the ability to naturally express "effortless coolness" is another appeal of this model.
■ Fabric: HARRISONS of EDINBURGH "Mersolair"
The fabric used for this tailoring is
the renowned British HARRISONS' "Mersolair" .
While a fabric with a solid weight,
it is characterized by:
・Resilient crispness
・A three-dimensional silhouette
・Striking, vibrant blue stripes
This "heavy yet beautiful" balance is precisely the charm of British fabrics.
■ Styling Suggestion | The "Rock Right" pairing with denim
The "GIBSON" can be paired not only with traditional trousers, but also with
・Flare denim
・Slim black jeans
・Leather shoes or boots
to create a modern style with a British rock feel .
This offers a new answer: an "order jacket with a playful twist" , rather than "jackets = stiff."
■ apartir's vision for "a star-making custom jacket"
apartir's custom orders go beyond simply fitting the body; they design an entire worldview, including the occasions for wear.
The MODEL "GIBSON" is a garment for those who want to express themselves through clothing .
