Kapital is undoubtedly one of the most unique brands we carry, as well as one of our absolute favorites. From their iconic Ring Coats and Century Denim, to the scarves and bandannas we love so much, to their patchwork and Kountry pieces — the brand has developed an international cult following, producing hit after hit like nobody else. Across the entirety of their massive catalog, Kapital is consistently exceptional, earning their reputation of style, brilliance, and just a hint of madness.

The first deep-pile fleece jacket appeared 35 years ago, six years after Malden Mills introduced the world to polar fleece, and quickly became canonical as an outdoor garment. The descent into low-cost (and low quality) ubiquity came about as a direct result of Malden's refusal to patent their new textile. By the end of the century, fleece jackets were fully déclassé, something to ridicule as a non-choice when worn and given away in bulk as corporate swag.

However, as the original pieces became coveted collectables, the design language and materials began to be adopted by designers like Kiro Hirata of Kapital. Warping and twisting the source code in the same way he hacked other classic garments, he takes the deep pile fleece jacket and pulls it in his alt-history of garments.

Kapital's pile fleece is consistently among the softest things we get here in the shop, and features incredibly detailed and flattering patterns. The Prisoner Craft Tattersall pieces are a step above Kapital's usual fleece, clocking in at a heavier weight, with a longer pile and more robust details. Made from 100% polyester, the entire body (except the pockets) is trimmed with a solid acrylic strap tape in a prison bar grid pattern.

The zip blouson is cut with a relaxed body, stand collar, and two patch hand pockets. The edges are finished with nylon piping, and the main zipper features a custom woven Kapital pull.
