[PROPOSITION] Various French Vintage Blue Fabrics Short Jacket

This is a "Varias French Vintage Blue Fabric Short Jacket" made by PROPOSITION.

PROPOSITION, a design duo based in Berlin, Germany

This is a unique creation created by Richard Spandler, who has been in the world of vintage clothing for many years and has accumulated a collection of antique clothing and rare fabrics, and Fumika Oshima, who studied fashion at the prestigious St. Martins.

No, that's an art piece that goes beyond the boundaries of "clothes."

When the brand was first founded, PROPOSITION developed small and carefully selected collections for carefully selected boutiques around the world.

However, since the COVID-19 pandemic, activities have shifted significantly.
We are beginning to focus on creating one-of-a-kind items using rare fabrics such as canvas and parachutes, as well as methods of sewing and reconstructing antique closures together.

Furthermore, he is passionate about repairing and regenerating damaged antiques and vintage pieces, and continues to work to bring back the heritage of the past to the present day.

It breathes new life into materials that have passed through time, bridging them to the next era.
That's the essence of PROPOSITION.

From such a proposition,We would like to introduce this special piece, reconstructed by combining a wide variety of French vintage blue tone fabrics.

By combining fabric pieces with different textures and appearances over time, such as moleskin and cotton twill, and deliberately turning the seam allowances back to the front, and hand-sewn reinforcement and repair marks, the history of the material itself has been aligned to become a design.

The base design is French "Cyclist Jacket"

It follows the functionality of the time, with a short length that keeps the hem from getting in the way when straddles the saddle, a wide hem band that prevents wind from entering, and a diagonal flap chest pocket that is easy to access even when riding.

Both the left and right chest pockets are patch-shaped with corners removed, but by changing the tone and flap material, the item has an asymmetrical look.

In particular, under the left chest pocket is accented with darning made from black thread.

The sleeves are set-in, and a lot of fine panel work and reinforced stitching are used from the elbows to the cuffs to create a three-dimensional look with rich shading.

The back of the body is also completely patchworked and has no lining.

Different fabrics of various sizes and large are also attached to the back part, and the seam allowance is flatly treated with pressing stitching to ensure lightness and mobility.

The back is asymmetrical with a large panel as the axis, and the gradation from pale blue to deep indigo gives depth to the back view.

The front has a total of five button fastenings.

By mixing shiny four-hole buttons with buttons with slightly different textures over time, we create a playful touch that is typical of a one-of-a-kind item.

A PROPOSITION product label (PRODUCT BERLIN / 202503) is sewn on the inside of the neck.

This individual is made of "100% cotton" fabric.

We carefully select vintage French blue-tone fabrics woven up until the 1960s, and carefully combine pieces of fabrics, such as moleskin and cotton twill, with different textures and appearance over time.

各パネルの色味は濃紺から淡いブルーまで幅広く、経年による擦れや褪色が織りなす濃淡のグラデーションは、深みと奥行きを併せ持った唯一無二の存在感を放ちます。

The color is a deep blue tone color.

The multi-layered depth of colour that cannot be explained in just navy or saxophone.
This tone, created by grafting different vintage fabrics from dark blue to pale blue, gives off a unique presence that combines tranquility and strength.

The way each panel, which has been carved with scuffs and fading, creates subtle shadows every time it is exposed to light, and the shades and texture change depending on the angle, making it as if the fabric itself speaks of the flow of time.

By combining the details derived from the rugged work with the softness of this blue tone, the coarseness and elegance are exquisitely combined.
It doesn't make too much of a statement, yet still gives off a solid presence, creating a "classic and extraordinary" that lies within the calm.

A reliable aesthetic sense and advanced technology are essential to sublimating such a diverse range of vintage fabrics to artistic perfection while maintaining a sense of unity.

It is extremely difficult to find a patchwork cyclist jacket in the original vintage market, but the product, made by PROPOSITION, is finished with a rare and perfect finish that will impress even the vintage rubber.

This is a piece that is truly worthy of being called a "wearable art piece" that combines practicality and artistry at a high level.

All items are unique, so the size indication is not included, but I think it falls under the "M to L".

Looking at the actual measurements, it is a golden size that suits the Japanese body type, so I think it can be worn by a wide range of people with a wide range of body types.
It looks great whether you wear it in the perfect size or the oversized size.

The used fabric has been reconstructed, so although the fabric itself has been used, there is no sign of any major damage that may cause problems with wearing it, so I think it is still possible to wear it.

PROPOSITION is offered only to a limited number of boutiques in the world.
The products, which pour a reconstruction aesthetic into rare vintage fabrics and bring new expressions, are all filled with unique charms.

The perfection will naturally blend in with people who like original vintages, as well as those who don't.
In particular, there must be something that resonates strongly with those who are attracted to the sash and expressions that change over time.

This individual is as rare as it is as one-of-a-kind.
Please take this opportunity to consider it.
