London-based talent clothsurgeon introduces the latest capsule to join its RECONSTRUCTED PROJECT for the season. This time around the collection is made up of two pieces only for a minimal selection, made up of a jacket and a vest. These are constructed from sweat pant waist bands for an upcycled purpose and environmentally friendly perspective.
clothsurgeon uses left over waist bands that are garnered from over 50 pairs of Nike's Fundamental Sweat Pants. This goes towards the mission of eliminating fashion waste and creating a new purpose for the materials. The jacket is a fully functional collared silhouette that features a chest pocket, side pocket, and zippers. The vest boasts a utility design with zippers and pockets as well.
