NO FASTFOOD BUT SLOWEAR!

Slowear is a world in which a consistent style creates a look of casual, timeless elegance.

It all started in 1951 when the first Incotex pant saw daylight in Venice.

Incotex is the pioneer of smart casual, the result of a unique blend of sartorial imprinting, innovative treatments and cutting-edge workmanship.

Over the course of time Incotex became a guarantee of quality, elegance and durability. Meanwhile, founder Carlo Compagno passed the baton on to his sons Roberto and Marzio, who broadened the Incotex universe by acquiring other brands, all of which shared a high level of specialization.

hus it was that sophisticated Zanone knitwear, impeccable Montedoro jackets and accessories, and Glanshirt shirts and blouses joined forces with Incotex.

M.NII MAKAHA SHORTS - THE STORY CONTINUES

During my visit to Capsule Paris I bumped into Matty Moeck who enthusiastically presented me the M.Nii collection.  The story of M.Nii goes back to the 50's on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. The village Makaha was a surfer's paradise on the west side of the island. Down the road, at a mom-and pop tailor shop called M.Nii, some of the first surf trunks were made. First local wave riders brought their "baggies" to M.Nii's for repairs. Recognizing the need for durability and comfort M.Nii built simple trunks made specifically for surfing. With feedback from some of the best surfers of that era, he added stripes, wax pockets, patches. They earned a nickname the "Makaha Drowner".

Today it's a full collection with of course the surf shorts but also shirts, Tees, Sweaters, trousers and even blazers styles which "the Duke" would had love to wear. You can find M.Nii @ Barney’s, Steven Alan, Ron Herman, Beams Japan. Let the summer start and let the waves hit the shore, I'm ready.
