QUARTERS: THINK SILLY Winter '09 Collection. "THE GENTLEMEN'S CODE". In store now. 02/07/09 (click images to enlarge)
We previewed this collection designed by TK and the Think Silly team a few months ago, but with the bitter cold biting down outside, we've finally decided to release the collection in store @ quarters boutique.
The entire collection is manufactured in Japan, which is no small feat for a foreign company. Every detail and aspect of the production was overseen by not only TK's team, but also a group of influential designers and friends in the industry in Tokyo, with no expense spared.
Outerwear (Stadium Jacket):
This item I think needs to be felt and seen in person to truly appreciate the quality of it. Built as a homage to the same standards as the tough, durable original Stadium Jackets of old; the sleeves are buttery-soft calf leather, with a thick wool construction and heavy weight rib across the collar and cuffs.

(Calf leather sleeves, Wool outer)
Outerwear (Technical):
Some of the most impressive pieces - a mixture of style, and functionality. Tough Cordura fabric keeps the elements out, and all the tiny details - including the ultrafine velcro straps (pictured in details) shows the level of finishing in this collection. The "camo" pattern in the Thinsulate 3M jacket is also the very first 'camo' pattern designed and manufactured by the Think Silly team.

For a more subtle look, there's also the Cordura shell jacket - waterproofed seams and aqua zips for protection against the elements, but with the same detailing as the Camo Thinsulate jacket pictured above. The Tweed jacket however is a bit more 'style' conscious - and also features a thinsulate inner lining. Topping off the outerwear is the amazing Down vest - genuine oremium goose down, and with a tough Cordura outer shell for protection. The down also extends all the way up to the lining of the hood.

Shirting/Knit/Tops:
A selection of their heavier tops for the cold weather - washed drill cotton M65 shirt, their knit top (the most popular item at their Dover Street Market London pop-up store), wool sweat, pocket sweat, and their signature shirt polo - integrated shirt sleeves in a traditional polo shirt cut. Something classic, yet with a twist.

Accessories:
Topping off the collection is a couple of accessories - their gentlemen's wool hat, and their incredible thermulon insulated gloves. The crew are absolutely in love with these two accessories - the gloves being the perfect companion for the bitter cold.
