Japanese streetwear brand KAPITAL introduces its new Journey Remake Chino Cotton Knit Game Cardigan series that is full of upcycled layering goods. The sweaters are designed from an angle that explores militaristic vintage designs, delivering a color palette of black and olive green. The cardigans are paneling with both smooth chino textiles and soft cotton materials.
The utilitarian design accents include the impressive right pockets found throughout the front of the body. The left chest area showcases a set of small and large snap-enclosed pockets that are detailed with weathered patchwork -- there is one in the middle and two on the bottom left. Notably, the cardigans are made from a lightly discolored cotton fabric that gives the design a worn-out look.
