Another week, another staff round up! This week, staff from every location had something new they were really excited about. We all have our own tastes, and this is just a little way we can share it. Check out the New Arrivals making us happy this week:
The Knit Warmhood is such a perfect 1st PAT-RN piece: handsome, comfortable, utilitarian, and amusingly unique. It's made from their Italian knit herringbone, a spectacularly cozy virgin wool textile produced by a single operator on vintage machinery. To me, it's an ideal blend of modern and medieval, dressy and functional — shockingly versatile in spite of being a bodyless hood, the roomy front pocket is just icing on the cake.

These pants are the ultimate cool fit. Higher rise with a nicely fitted top block, roomy leg, and just a very thoughtful arrangement of patchwork throughout. This limited edition run is extra special with the work being done by Ms. Pukklang at Nara Denim in BKK. It’s like wearing a Klimt painting in Vivienne Westwood colors.

The CWE Blouson is a great example of Yuki Matsuda's design finesse. It's boxy and loose through the torso and sleeves, giving it a nice drape and a relaxed silhouette. As with everything Monitaly produces, the little details are all just right—the cinched waist and cuffs give the piece some structure, the rounded collar and angled pockets add a ton of character, and all the hardware feels sturdy and suits the garment perfectly.

Every Fall, without fail, I search for the perfect European work jacket in wool. A jacket that is not a full on suit jacket nor a rugged cotton chore coat. A little dressy but not full tilt. And I always turn up empty-handed – until now! The Italian Jail Jacket hits all those notes, perfect as a standalone outer layer or layered up.

As a lover of oversized silhouettes, Monitaly has been a favorite of mine for a long time. Being 5'3" means that a lot of "oversized" stuff can make me look like a little kid drowning in my dad's clothes, but Monitaly has perfected the balance between oversized and tailored in a way that not a lot of other brands have. The Lazy Travel Jacket is no exception. Wearing it makes me feel like a very cozy gnome about to go out foraging for mushrooms and wild garlic (to fill up the giant pockets, obviously), which is exactly the vibe I aspire to.
