previousThis articleAs we mentioned earlier, *White Mountaineering*, which has been a driving force in the fashion scene in Japan and around the world for 20 years, will relaunch with a new designer starting with the Spring/Summer 2027 season.
While we’re certainly curious about what’s next, this time we’re spotlighting five exquisite styles created in collaboration with EKAL—a brand that seamlessly bridges city and outdoor styles—for the very first time. We’ve heard that these denim pieces and knitwear—where the identities of both brands blend together in perfect harmony—are set to launch this weekend, so let’s take a look right away.
Special Order DENIM DRIZZLER JACKET ¥ 55,000
Special Order MID GUSSET SLEEVEEYELET POCKET SHIRT ¥35,200
Custom-Order BIKER PANTS ¥ 49,500
Custom-Order LOGO EMBROIDERY TEE ¥14,300
Special Order DENIM EMBROIDERY CAP ¥ 14,300
All of these pieces are based on highly popular items from *White Mountaineering*’s main line, and it’s impressive to see how they reflect both brands’ shared vision of pursuing sophisticated design and functional beauty. In particular, the denim—which can be worn even during active pursuits—is sure to be a versatile staple in your wardrobe, and the ability to enjoy how it ages over time is a unique feature of denim items. Of course, the knitwear is also a popular item, so be sure to check that out as well!
Pre-orders are currently being accepted on the “URBAN RESEARCH” online store. If you’re thinking, “I want to check out the actual product before buying!” the items will be on display at Écal’s flagship stores and authorized retailers starting Saturday, August 1, so let’s look forward to the release date.
