BEAMS' "timeless and real menswear" subdivision BEAMS PLUS prioritizes collaboration, recently crafting striking deliveries in partnership with J. Crew and Engineered Garments. For its latest presentation, BEAMS PLUS has tapped Toronto-based menswear outfitter Lost & Found for a poised and practical three-piece capsule.
The labels initially linked up in Japan back in 2014, when the Lost & Found team met with the BEAMS PLUS team at their main office, catalyzing a connection built on cotton ripstop foundations.
"For the past two years we have been discussing a special project with BEAMS and it has finally come to fruition. There are so many synergies between the two brands that the idea generation was seamless. Our favorite pant, the two pleat, ultimately turned into an entire outfit using some of our favorite fabric in the cotton ripstop." Lost & Found noted in a statement.
Consisting of the 2Pleats Cotton Ripstop pants, MIL SHT-JAC Cotton Ripstop and MIL Jungle Hat Cotton Ripstop, each cotton ripstop-crafted piece in the capsule surfaces in shades of black, navy and olive green. The jacket features an open collar, pockets on the side seam and interior and military buttons down the middle, while the pants take a cropped fit complete with front and back pockets, cuffed hems and a contrast herringbone twill waistband. Rounding out the range is the hat, which comes equipped with utility slots around the crown, a button flap-gusseted pocket secured with button closure, and a contrast herringbone twill sweatband.
Peep the range in the lookbook above, and expect the full BEAMS PLUS x Lost & Found delivery to hit Lost & Found's official webstore on September 5.
