Haver Sack Equipment: 2015-16 Autumn/Winter Collection


Focus on Haver Sack's New Line for Autumn/Winter


Koji Norihide's Haver Sack launched its new line, H.S. EQUIPMENT, last autumn/winter season. Now in its third season, the brand presents its Autumn/Winter collection based on the concept of "truly valuable things for living everyday life."

Expressing the Delicacy and Strength of Items for Men and Women


──What is the theme/concept for the 2015-16 Autumn/Winter collection?

Haver Sack Equipment does not set seasonal themes.
The concept is "truly valuable things for living everyday life." We view clothing as a tool to be worn, creating pieces that are beautiful and independent forms, while also considering how they appear when worn on the body.
The forms, born from classic designs that maximize the appeal of materials and patterns, and meticulous sewing, may appear simple and understated at first glance, but we pursue a level of perfection that draws you in.

──What were your points of focus for this season's lookbook shoot, and what should people pay attention to?

We aimed to express the delicacy and strength inherent in the items by styling them identically for both men and women.

──What are the differences from last year's Autumn/Winter collection in terms of styling, silhouette, and color?

We've increased the number of styles that emphasize volume in the upper body.

──What is the key look (coordination) for this season?

It's the look featuring the khaki coat worn by the woman. It's a classic sports style, combining a 40s-inspired tent-shaped driving coat made of British wool with high-density gabardine peg-top trousers.

Focus on the A-line Hooded Military Coat


──What are the key items and key colors?

The key item is the A-line hooded military coat, offered in various materials such as chevron pile and lamb's wool melton. The key color is khaki.

──What "materials" did you focus on this season?

For the paisley jacquard and block check tweed, we used British interior fabrics.

──Please describe "this season's mood" in one word.

While not season-specific, we want to continue creating (good things) without wavering, so that our own standards of value are conveyed to the world, even if just a little.

──What inspires the brand's (designer's) creativity?

Various things.
