Macalastair, a brand that draws on its heritage in traditional Scottish knitwear to offer long-lasting everyday wear crafted from premium materials, has released its Spring/Summer 2021 men's knitwear collection.
Macalastair's Spring/Summer 2021 men's knitwear collection focuses on knitwear that can be worn comfortably in a variety of situations amid diversifying lifestyles. The collection primarily uses natural materials, taking advantage of the characteristics of the materials, including elegant washable wool knit polo shirts and knit T-shirts, a boatneck knit T-shirt made from lightweight, moisture-wicking, quick-drying washi paper, and a knit jacket made from extra-long staple cotton with a smooth texture and a subtle sheen.
KNIT JACKET
33,000 yen (tax included)
Available sizes: 36, 38, 40
Available colors: Navy
This is the brand's first knit jacket. It has a relaxed feel, but the fit is carefully designed so that it can also be used for work wear. The high V-zone gives it a British look. For increased comfort, it has single sleeves, with darts at the elbows to create a sleek look around the arms. The hem is cut with the beautiful square line that is unique to knitwear. "Extra-long staple cotton," a rare fiber with longer fibers than regular cotton, is knitted into 16-gauge Milanese rib, creating a supple knit with a glossy, dressy look and a firm texture that also adds to its appeal. It's easily washable at home and can be handled roughly without worrying about wrinkles.
KNIT POLO SHIRT
22,000 yen (tax included)
Available sizes: 38, 40
Available colors: brown gray, navy
This polo shirt is a hit every season. This season, the length is longer than usual, making it easy to tuck in and suitable for both formal and casual wear. The collar features a stand collar, a feature found on typical dress shirts, which gives the collar a high, three-dimensional look. The collar looks beautiful whether the buttons are open or closed, and it also fits neatly when paired with a jacket. This item is made from 100% wool yarn, knitted in a 16-gauge jersey weave. Wool, known as a natural fiber, has attractive properties such as moisture absorption and release, antibacterial properties, and elasticity. It is cool and comfortable to wear in the summer and can be easily washed at home.
CREW NECK KNIT T-SHIRT
¥19,800 (tax included)
Available sizes: 38, 40
Available colors: Light beige, brown gray, black
A new, elegant knit T-shirt that can be easily worn with a jacket for an on-the-job look. The tightness of the neck, length, and ribbing have been carefully adjusted to achieve a balanced, dressy look. While offering the relaxed fit of a T-shirt, this design features fine details unique to knitwear, such as the ribbing around the neck and the "decreases" around the shoulders. The fabric is made from 100% wool, a natural material with moisture-wicking, antibacterial, and odor-resistant properties, knitted in a 12-gauge jersey weave. It's also washable wool, making it easy to care for at home.
BOAT NECK KNIT T-SHIRT
¥17,600 (tax included)
Available sizes: 38, 40
Available colors: beige, light blue, navy, gray
This new casual knit T-shirt features an oversized silhouette for a cool and comfortable fit. The relaxed boat neck, reminiscent of the traditional "Basque shirt" worn by fishermen, creates a relaxed feel. The hem and sleeves are intentionally made light without ribbing. The sleeves are adjustable in length and feature a knitwear-specific technique called "decreases" to add a touch of elegance. Knitted into a 12-gauge jersey using a blend of plant-based washi paper and polyester yarn, the fabric is light and smooth against the skin, and is also quick-drying, wrinkle-resistant, anti-pilling, and easily washable.
