The EDIFICE x A.P.C. capsule introduces two classic workwear staples crafted from high-density cotton satin, giving traditional denim silhouettes a soft feel and subtle sheen. The limited collection includes the Satin Jacket and matching Satin Jeans, designed to be worn together or separately. While retaining the clean lines associated with A.P.C.'s minimalist aesthetic, both pieces replace conventional denim with a lustrous satin fabric that balances durability with a refined finish.
The Satin Jacket updates the classic trucker silhouette with metal hardware, contrast stitching, and a tailored fit, while the matching jeans feature a timeless straight-leg cut that highlights the fabric's fluid drape. Priced at ¥49,500 JPY for the jacket and ¥35,200 JPY for the jeans, the capsule is available for pre-order ahead of its mid-August release through BAYCREW'S Store, EDIFICE locations, and select retailers.
