Specimen Deconstructed Zip-Up

Each Specimen Zip is hand-worked in the studio using upcycled overlays, archival designs, and modern distressing. The 2-way YKK hardware allows for architectural styling - zip from the bottom to create a flared, editorial silhouette or keep it closed for a heavy, armored feel.

Variance: Each piece is individually distressed and hand-altered with upcycled textiles and archival remnants that would otherwise be landfill-bound. While the structural blueprint remains the same, the specific additions, distress patterns, and textile placements will vary from the imagery. You are purchasing a 1-of-1 artifact, unique to your collection.

Details:

— Materials: Designs include upcycled leather, heavy-duty canvas, and archival textile scraps. Base is 11.8 oz heavyweight 80% cotton 20% recycled polyester CVC fleece.
— Hardware: Industrial 2-way YKK silver zipper.
— Fit: Oversized, unisex boxy cut. Dropped shoulders.
— Finished with a hand-numbered linen interior tag.

Your piece enters production upon order. Hand-pressed, dated, and issued within 30 days.

"I'm not someone who buys graphic tees, but I bought this one because it felt less like apparel and more like a statement. Still in my regular rotation and it looks exactly like the day it arrived."

"I've spent years buying things that were almost right. This is the first piece that required zero justification. The weight of it is immediately different from anything else in my wardrobe; I've worn it three times this week."

"It's soft in a way that feels contradictory to how substantial it is. I put it on and the rest of the outfit fell into place. That doesn't happen often."
