Discount The Anthology Wingman Blouson – White Wing

100% Japanese Linen

Contrary to the first edition of the Wingman Blouson, this is a breezy linen alternative to a summer-tailored jacket. This is our take on a short-cutting jacket partially inspired by the historical flight jacket, with juxtapositions of spaciousness and form-fitting illusions through edgy pattern-cutting, forming a comprehensively sculpted form with hints of softness within. Full article about the design here.

Cut straight on the body with a naturally cinched elasticated waistband and sleeve opening, the sprucely gathered puckers give contrasted shaping yet maintain a clean, but not stoic look. The four-pocket arrangement added extra points of interest to the garment. Diagonally and reversely panelled forming a strong X-shaped profile, the sartorial-minded design is heightened by a touch of edginess, looking exceptionally spiffy even as a casual outdoor blouson. Slanted ‘warmer’ pockets around the upper waist are shielded by an additional layer, with zippers guarding both sides of the chest. All pockets are designed with better security, all thoughtfully angled and concealed to avoid one’s personal belongings from falling out.

The blouson is finished with a silver two-way zipper. When zipped up, the body forms a subtle balloon effect like a classic bomber, giving volume to express a masculine look. By releasing the lower zipper, it complements our usual mid-high-rise trousers, achieving that sleek sartorial, tailored look, and creating a distinctive high-low aesthetic. An added feature to this summer version is the snap button fastening on the cuffs, allowing sleeves to be rolled up when the heat hits.

The fabric is in a white in full linen from Japan, enriched with herringbone textures woven into the bone of the fabric. Perfect to be used for holidays as a light step-up of a blouse.
