Vintage Shirts

Vintage Shirts gathers a selection of vintage shirts belonging to different traditions, from workwear to flannel, from denim to the western world. Over time, the shirt has been adapted to many different uses, and materials, construction, and details have followed this evolution. Cotton, flannel, chambray, and denim can take on very different characters depending on the period and the way the garment was conceived. Refade's research spans these interpretations, seeking out vintage work shirts, flannel shirts, denim shirts, and western shirts capable of telling their own story without being tied to a single aesthetic. An evolving collection that looks at the vintage shirt through the fabrics, proportions, and details that have defined its character over time.

Comfort through different materials

Sweatshirts and knitwear belong to different worlds, but they share one characteristic: they are garments closely tied to the feel of the material and how they are worn. The weight of the fabric, the softness, the structure, and the ability to retain heat completely change the experience of the garment.

The sweatshirt and its simplicity

The Vintage Sweatshirt is born from a relatively essential construction. The cotton jersey, the cuffs, and the soft structure have become immediately recognizable elements, while over time the sweatshirt has been adopted in increasingly broader contexts. Some remain extremely simple, others feature graphics, lettering, or details that tell the story of their era. It is precisely this simplicity that allows the sweatshirt to change context while maintaining its own character.

Hoodies and knitwear

The hoodie adds a very specific functional element to the sweatshirt: the hood. Its presence alters the proportions and construction, yet maintains a direct relationship with comfort and practicality. Knitwear, on the other hand, follows a different tradition. A vintage sweater can be made with wool or other yarns, through techniques that produce different structures and weights. Cardigans, knit sweaters, and wool sweaters show just how extensive this part of the wardrobe can be.

Material, weight and season

In knitwear, the material becomes particularly evident. A heavy wool conveys a completely different sensation compared to a lightweight knit, while the craftsmanship can alter elasticity, volume, and texture. Even in sweatshirts, the weight of the jersey and its structure influence the way the garment drapes and is perceived. Refade's research focuses precisely on these characteristics, allowing material, construction, and period to determine the interest of each new addition.

The collection is designed to grow over time along with our research, expanding to include sweatshirts, hoodies, and knitwear. You can continue exploring through Vintage Shirts or Vintage Jackets.
