"JW ANDERSON" 20’s washed duck o ring zip blouson

Centered on a worldview that combines British intelligence and playfulness, and by inserting sculptural discomfort into a practical wardrobe, JW ANDERSON continues to redefine modern luxury. Here, we present a piece that condenses the brand's signature.

Finished in black with tough duck fabric derived from work jackets, the natural unevenness from washing creates depth, and this piece exudes a refined expression within its ruggedness.

The large white zip pull, positioned as the main feature at the front, draws attention with its softly rounded shape, giving a sense of presence similar to jewelry despite being a functional element for opening and closing.

Meanwhile, the collar is neatly styled as a regular collar with a moderate three-dimensionality, creating a beautiful fit around the neck. When the zipper is raised, the face is not overly sharp, making it easy to incorporate into daily wear.

The body is constructed with a relaxed blocking, providing ample movement around the arms, so even when layered with thick tops, it remains comfortable. The not-too-short length balances the overall silhouette, making it versatile enough to pair with wide bottoms or refined slacks.

The pockets are subtly shaped with diagonally arranged lines, and the sewing step creates shadows, preventing the all-black design from becoming monotonous. When viewed up close, it offers a satisfying sense of luxury.

On the back, a brown leather patch is added, and by introducing a single element with a different texture, it responds to the white parts on the front without becoming overly decorative, maintaining the overall completeness of the garment, which is very characteristic of JW ANDERSON.

Regarding the era, the use of the current logo typography on the label, the iconic design of this o-ring zip pull used in collections around 2020, and the presence of domestic agency markings and features seen in recent circulation items all strongly suggest that this piece is from around 2020 to 2021.

The idea of establishing a universal workwear style by placing a single, alien-like shape is a quintessential example of Jonathan Anderson's modern British aesthetic. It adds an intellectual sense of discomfort to everyday outfits, making it especially recommended for those seeking a mood that subtly sets itself apart while maintaining a quiet black wardrobe.

Styling-wise, it creates a clean silhouette by pairing with minimalistic slacks or high-quality wool pants, and by layering a shirt or a thin knit underneath, making the shape of the zip pull the main feature for a refined, modern look. When layered under a long coat and revealing white parts, you can enjoy a subtle yet intentionally luxurious impression.

Definitely take this opportunity.
