Visvim: the sheep release

The thing about Visvim clothing is that you have to actually have it in your hands to appreciate what it's all about. Just looking at pictures like these, you would think this was the latest round of donations to be left outside the door of the local Oxfam.

But that jacket on the left is a Deckhand Jacket, based, presumably on the jackets worn by deckhands on ships (that's what the Japanese are like, call a spade a spade) with a sheep lining. I'm guessing that's just wool, but saying sheep makes it sound a little bit different, like you maybe get the head as well or something.

The tartan tablecloth on the right is a stole, which is a scarf in the shape of a tablecloth, made from cashmere no less, which, in case you didn't know, comes from a more expensive type of sheep.

So sheep feature quite heavily in this Visvim release.

No doubt the stuff will all be made to the same exacting standards as we've all come to expect from this label. And there's absolutely no doubt that as usual you'll be lucky to find this anywhere in the UK. The Hideout if you're lucky, or Dover Street Market.

Unlike sheep, which can be found on meat counters in any good supermarket.
