Roy Veste - Limited Edition

The Roy sweatshirt is the garment that started Wave Texture. It took more than 7 iterations to be able to make the statement that this is what we believe is the best sweatshirt. 

Sweatshirts are more than an essential; they're an embodiment of our lifestyles and generational items, for this one I wanted to make a couture sweatshirt that took the best techniques from high fashion to create what is an exceptional hoodie. 

Made to fit oversized like a bomber jacket with wide armholes, it features the highest quality zipper used for leather wear in a silver version that is polished and shines like a piece of jewellery. Perfect for layering with an open top coat letting the zipper shine through. Its two way slider makes it versatile in the way it can be worn adapting to the wearer’s silhouette by unzipping the bottom and getting rid of the bulge created by the pockets. 

The hoodie is constructed with heavy 500GSM organic cotton terry from France in a raw finish similar to sweatshirts from the mid 90s. This particular fabric has a diagonal pattern on it that makes it stand out if you look closely. 

Off black details have been inserted all around the hoodie to add depth to the garment: the wax cord has a grey blue tone, matching the ribbon from the zipper. 

The signature Wave Texture arrow cuffs are the embodiment of the brand answering the questions how you can add no extra gadget but do what’s already there but better by improving the construction and identity of the garment. 

On the inside we borrow from couture the detail of underlining the stitchings of the hoodie by lining them with velvet trimmings.

The hood was designed to be oversized and englobe the wearer’s head for comfort, privacy, style. The hood sports the result of 25hrs of hand embroidery designed by Wave Texture’s creative director Marius Franc and executed by the House of Lesage, the oldest embroidery house in the world. The design is meant to mimic what a loving grandmother would have added to “a teenager’s” hoodie as a sign of care wanting to personify his favourite piece with a loving touch. Mixing botanic details in two colorways escalating in colour threads, techniques and tiny stitches the design was placed on the hood to give the wearer the option to wear the hood down in a more formal environment or up as a statement piece. 

Hoodies are limited to 50 pieces in each colorway.A unique numbered label below the griffe states “héritages des savoirs faire en France cette édition numérotée est notre gage d’excellence » as vouch of honor for French excellence which we embody in the renaissance of contemporary couture. 

Outdoing the standard for what a sweatshirt can amount for we thought calling it a veste was better suited as the garment works as a layering piece but can truly be worn on its own.
