NEEDLES JACKETS

A member of the Nepenthes family, New York–based NEEDLES refashions Japanese textiles and cuts to deliver a fresh take on vintage American styles. Founded by Japanese designer Keizo Shimizu in 1995, the brand secured a cult-like following in 2018 after releasing a limited-edition tracksuit designed in collaboration with A$AP Rocky’s AWGE. Unstructured yet highly tailored silhouettes define the NEEDLES wardrobe, which includes pieces that range from corduroy chore coats and argyle mohair cardigans to velour track pants and faux fur bucket hats. Perennially reworking nostalgic styles into contemporary modes, NEEDLES goes beyond trend with its well-crafted everyday essentials.
