Run your hand down the placket and two inches of raw cotton thread unravel under your fingertips. Not distressed. Deliberate. AITO cuts each frayed edge, unravels it to a precise depth, then reinforces with topstitching so it stays exactly where it should. This is controlled deconstruction -- a process that takes three times longer than standard garment construction. Every collar edge, every cuff, every hem carries this same labor-intensive finish. The time investment is invisible until you touch it. That is where the value lives -- in the hours you cannot see but can feel. The silhouette is elongated and boxy, falling to mid-thigh with clean, utilitarian lines. The fabric is medium-weight garment-washed cotton canvas with a subtle slub texture -- broken-in softness before the first wear. It settles across your shoulders with a familiar weight, matte greige surface absorbing light rather than catching it. Six tonal grey buttons run the length of the placket. Two patch pockets sit low on the body. The back is clean, minimal, allowing the frayed architecture to speak from the front. AITO does not compete with your Rick Owens coat -- it works the other six days of the week. It layers under heavier outerwear without adding bulk. It stands alone when the temperature allows. This is the daily piece you did not realize was missing from your wardrobe until you felt the fringe move against your wrist. Details Material: 100% Cotton, garment-washed canvas with natural slub texture Construction: Deliberate frayed edges along placket, collar, cuffs, and hem -- cut, unraveled, and topstitched for controlled deconstruction Silhouette: Tailored straight-cut, length sits above the knee Closure: Tonal grey button-through placket front Color: Washed greige (stone grey with warm beige undertones) Pockets: Two pockets set at hip Care: Machine wash cold. Frayed edges will soften further with wear -- this is the intended evolution. The fringe moves when you walk. The cotton softens with every wash. This is a jacket that becomes more itself over time.
