I think the essence of collaboration is to create something with an unprecedented approach while maintaining the non-negotiables of both parties, and N. HOLLYWOOD is a master at this.
N.HOOLYWOOD TEST PRODUCT EXCHANGE SERVICE(N," which reconstructs past and current military items and continues to produce them under the concept of "test products to be developed into officially adopted military items. H.TPES)", the first collaboration with Dickies, "N. HOOLYWOOD EXCHANGE SERVICE × Dickies" will be released.
Dickies manufactured workwear for the U.S. Army in the 1940s, and this capsule collection is inspired by the U.S. Army's wear employed from 1943 to 1945.
The fabric is TC twill, which is synonymous with the modern Dickies. The bouncy feel and texture give it a modern impression.
The first is a piece produced based on the commonly known "HBT" jacket.
¥24,000+TAX
The standard workwear box silhouette, the large gusseted pocket on the chest, and the two buttons on the back of the collar that represent the vestiges of the days when the hood was detachable, are faithfully reproduced down to the smallest details.
Next is the pants. While faithfully following the details of the work pants in circulation at the time, the cropped length and moderately tapered silhouette are typical of "N. Hollywood.
19,000+TAX
The original name for this collaboration, "Historic Fit," is printed on the back.
Finally, there are also half pants.
¥15,000+TAX
This item, too, was designed with a deeper inseam and changed to a wide silhouette with more room to spare, while keeping the same underlay as those of those days.
N. Hollywood is the best in its day at arranging military items in a modern and fashionable way. This time, too, the skill is on full display. The sale will be held on March 2 (Sat.).
