2018 “Urban Fleece” Editorial

A spotlight on soft textiles and functionality.

As we enter the colder seasons, we’ve put together some of our favorite silhouettes, consisting of a range of high-oz cotton and fleece-lined outerwear that meet the functional needs of lower temperatures and urban environments. Our styled assemblage consists of a mix of brands from Ambush, Human Made, Napa by Martine Rose, Stone Island and Heron Preston. This time around, warm textiles were the primary focuses in curating a lineup of garments that are soft to the touch.

Functional elements of these silhouettes are seen in the addition of water-resistant nylon, utility hardware and heavy-duty leather. For example, standout pieces include the Ambush Pullover Jacket, constructed in a fleece-nylon hybrid, while the Human Made HM7 Crazy Varsity Jacket comes in brushed cotton with the addition of its highly durable leather sleeves. Various fleece-lined mid layers and heavy outwear come tinged in a range of vibrant color palettes and muted tones that round out the concise spread.
