Made to be lived in — clothing for the unhurried day.

About

Worn to settle the day

In the temple, the samue is what you reach for to sit, to pour tea, to sweep the garden — the quiet clothing of an unhurried hour. We have taken the samue from our experience and made it to be lived in at home, so the same composure can settle into an ordinary day.

Put it on, and the day slows by a half-step.

The Other Sides crest at the back of the collar
The Mark

A quiet crest, where only you will find it

The Other Sides crest is embroidered discreetly beneath the back collar, and again at the trouser — never a logo across the chest, only a still mark for the one who wears it. A small reminder of the temple you carry with you.

The Garment

Soft as an underlayer, easy as a second skin

Woven in a slub knit with natural stretch, it falls soft against the skin and never binds — unrestrictive at the shoulder, the knee, the breath. Cut to be worn by anyone, in a deep indigo.
