NU-00219-J8 - Type-II-Waister

The moment for layering is upon us! These days, I find myself reaching for similar fabrics from summer to winter, turning typical urges upside-down, and focusing on favourite fabrics for all the stagioni. Wearing them under something more, or over something less, adding-in seasonality as required. TYPE II! We've expanded upon our practise of fiddling around with shirts, and, I fear, my friends, we've come up with another irresistible + irreplaceable new classic. The fruit of that labour has been the evolution of the Waister. If Type I (as it shall now be known) was more shirt than jacket, then Type II is a little more jacket than shirt. Cut with body lines inspired by everyone's favourite denim go-tos, Type II is an intensely handy beast. Made at our shirt-maker in northern Italy, this new shirt has all the hallmarks of L.E.J finery - delicate seams, precise stitches, carefully studied cloth + proportion, culminating in a category blurring garment which is at once as familiar as it is revolutionary [sic]. Cut to sit over the waist - a la trucker - the Type II Waister is perfect for adding a loose layer beneath a heavier jacket without that awkward sub-hem show. Then, for when the clouds part, it's its own jacket, too. - 100% cotton, 260gsm - pre-washed drape-y denim - a gently shaped waist - waist tabs - slightly dropped shoulder - loose-lined camp collar - 2 chest pockets, w / flap and button - 1 internal patch pocket - L.E.J mother of pearl buttons - cut to hit the hips - made in Italy
