_J.L-A.L_ Taps Marzotto for Tech-Forward Wool Capsule

As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for both virtual and real-life adventures, I’ve always been drawn to the intersection of tradition and innovation. The _J.L-A.L_ x Marzotto capsule collection is like a level-up in my wardrobe, merging the nearly 200-year-old heritage of Marzotto with the contemporary flair of _J.L-A.L_.


In a unique collaboration, London brand J.L-A.L has teamed up with Marzotto, an Italian textile manufacturer with almost 200 years of history. By blending their distinctive styles, they have introduced a compact collection of stylish woolen clothing, featuring advanced technologies and elegant designs.

The minimalist style of _J.L-A.L_ is clearly visible in their monochrome five-piece collection, consisting of three jackets, a pair of pants, and a handbag. Each item is crafted using a three-layer design featuring a virgin wool exterior with advanced DWR coating, a water-resistant membrane, and a brushed grid backing. DWR stands for ‘durable water-repellent’, signifying a unique polymer applied directly to the threads, enhancing the fabric’s performance in wet conditions.

The initial outerwear shape is a mid-length coat, sporting a double collar, suitable for more formal looks. The other two shapes are traditional length jackets; one has a mock neck collar, while the other showcases a generous ski-style hood. The pants exhibit waist darts and diagonal thigh pleats, offering them a perfectly tailored fit at the bottom.

Each item is carefully crafted with ergonomic designs and advanced, watertight stitching techniques, lending an innovative feel to the collection. For a more detailed view, explore the intricate design elements incorporated into each piece displayed in the gallery above.

You can find the complete J.L-A.L x Marzotto collection currently on sale at J.L-A.L’s online store, as well as in some physical stores.
