Osaka Store Exclusive: The "ZEPHYR" Series
HEAD PORTER OSAKA is the latest store, following the flagship in Harajuku, the Atelier Head Porter in Shibuya, and Head Porter Loft in Kyoto. It has opened on Orange Street, a popular destination for street brands. Currently, the first customers to purchase items will receive an Osaka store-exclusive novelty gift (limited quantity).
The "ZEPHYR" series, released first at the Osaka store, combines a camouflage pattern with leopard print on a black base. It's crafted from lightweight yet durable nylon twill with a PVC coating for excellent water resistance and durability. While the designs are basic, they emphasize practicality for a wide range of users, regardless of gender or age, for everyday use.
Two Series Debut from the Autumn/Winter Collection
From the HEAD PORTER 2014 A/W COLLECTION, the "JUNGLE" series, inspired by the way predators and prey camouflage themselves, was released on the opening day, July 11th. The polyester and cotton fabric features a unique texture achieved through dyeing and printing. It offers a soft touch and a sophisticated aesthetic. The original color scheme, with overlapping elements on a navy base, presents a fresh look.
Additionally, the "DENIM" series uses rigid blue denim, specifically reactive denim that doesn't show the aging typically associated with the material. The interior is lined with thin cotton fabric for a lightweight feel. White tags, stitching, and silver zippers evoke a classic workwear aesthetic, complementing autumn and winter wardrobes with simple elegance.
