Zamb you really outdid yourself; the pants look amazing and the black jacket in #16 is calling my name. Keep up the excellent work.

I don't claim to have the sophisticated aesthetic many here have, but that's some lovely work Zamb! I look forward to a chance to handle this next season.

Would love more detail shots of the "inner jacket" my friend. That shock of red as the pocket liner is nice!

The seamwork is outstanding. Especially on the pants (one of your strong points). The gentle arcing seams really add to the overall cut and silhouette versus other brands where the seamwork is often superfluous.

Again, beautiful Z!!

Would love to give you a better view of it.
I will try to do a few shots for you but its really difficult to get the angles correctly.


Its called "Inner" because there is a lot of things going on internally in the piece that isn't visible just by looking at the piece.

The idea was to create garments that seemed at least visually simple (parsimonious), but were in essence way more complex than they appear to be, hence the red on the inside, but it isn't only the pocket liner, but there is an additional set of pockets made into the red leather.......
this can only be known to exist by the wearer or someone who has intimate knowledge of the piece........in the same way you meet a girl that seems simple, but realize she is way more complex that your first impression after getting intimate with her.......

there are several other pieces like this in the collection.
the overcoat in the first look has four additional pockets made into a second layer within the front of the coat, these cannot be seen from the outside

For example, the Blazer Lowrey posted here shows a large pocket on the inside of the lapel facing, but it has another set of pockets inside of that, that you would have to be wearing the piece and checking it out keenly to even know it exist............

Very cool. That's what I was thinking too from the images. Right along the same wavelength that I work as well :)

Garments should be special not only from the outside, but something for the wearer themselves. If anything, I think that aspect is equally if not more important in the design.

Agreed, and this is something that I've been into more because doing menswear i am thinking about my own needs in a sense.

Its also my interest of late with minimalism, but I'm no minimalist, so I had to approach the subject in a way that I could relate, to simplify the garments without loosing the rigorous complexity that I cannot help but infuse into the work

zam, looks incredible! love the pants especially, but the entire collection is very solid

Seconded. That jacket looks insanely good.

A whole lot of interesting pieces and more or less everything feels like items that I could wear, and that's not something that happens all that often. A great collection.

Agree with everyone that the pants are looking good .
My fave is the pants worn with the inner jacket. Is the jacket covering the back pockets or are there no back pockets?

[marco-von]

the back pockets are more than likely cut into the seams like i have on the drop crotch trousers from zam. the button and loops sewn on the inside leaving a clean look outside.
