The UK-based fashion imprint highlights items including the classic Snopants that are classic to its design language. The silhouette gets a Thai handcrafted design language that is offset by technical cloths including the Swiss-woven Ventile Eco Hemp woven along with NYCO, high-performing [Polartec](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gramicci-fallwinter), and Japanese-woven MIL-SPEC cotton/nylon by [Cordura](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/visvim-all-tote). The color palette retains its military theme with green, deep blues, greys, and more. The company is known for its intricate embroidery craftsmanship and that can be seen throughout the range along with additional graphics that follow the same militaristic theme. Some notable prints include the Bonsai Forest and water pattern.
