Albanian Velour Set - Black Stitch (Jacket + Pants)

Save $15 when you buy the set. The Albanian Velour Set pairs our signature velour jacket and matching pants in the black stitch colorway, a full head to toe look built for the culture. This is the quietest version of the set we have made. Black velour, black eagle. The double headed eagle sits across the back in tonal appliqué embroidery, raised against the pile so it catches the light rather than the eye. You see the shape before you see the symbol. For anyone who wants the meaning without the announcement, this is the one. The shqiponja has been on the Albanian flag since 1443, when Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg united the Albanian lords under it and held off the Ottoman Empire for twenty five years. It was never designed as a fashion symbol. It has always stood for resilience, identity and the strength of the Albanian people, and it connects a diaspora of more than ten million people across the United States, Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Italy and beyond. Both pieces are cut from premium 260 GSM velour with a relaxed fit through the body and ribbed cuffs and hem on the jacket. The jacket is lined in red satin, so the flag colours sit on the inside where only you see them, and it carries an interior breast pocket sized for a wallet or keys. The pants run wide leg with the eagle repeated down the leg. Sizes run XS through 3XL. Wear it together as a tracksuit or split it up. The jacket sits well over a plain tee with the pants swapped out, and the pants carry on their own with anything cropped. Because the colorway is tonal, it moves between casual and dressed up far more easily than the red or white stitch does, which is the whole point of a black on black set.
