NEEDLES works in collaboration with ts(s) on a modern collection of workwear silhouettes and traditional sportswear. The two Japanese brands deliver a dynamic range that is concise and features a wide range of fabrics in a plethora of styles and textures.
There are military styles by NEEDLES including the classic HD pants and the LINE CREW JACKET -- these are reimagined in the Italian dobby cloth material. Other pieces in the new range include the STRONG COWBOY PANT which is made from a French fabric that has been printed with a honeycomb pattern applied all over. There are also pearlescent buttons that detail two products and these are usually seen in the Western styles by NEEDLE.
