ASPESI has always been a trend-resistant brand, carving its own path through understated craftsmanship and technical prowess. With the ARCHV men’s capsule, part of the Fall/Winter 2024-25 collection, ASPESI revisits its archive, re-imagining ten iconic pieces from the past and presenting them with a fresh perspective.

What is ARCHV ASPESI?
This archive launch is a celebration of timeless design, where each piece tells a story rooted in functionality, style and quiet rebellion. The ARCHV ASPESI men’s capsule is not just a tribute to the past, it is an invitation to explore the brand’s enduring vision of style: refined, versatile and always subtly cutting edge.

Just like the brand itself, these pieces are made to last, not to dominate trend cycles. ASPESI’s ARCHV collection proves that elegance, when crafted with care and precision, never goes out of style.

C Shirt
At the heart of the collection is the “C” Shirt, a piece that made waves in 1985 and continues to be a mainstay of the brand. Inspired by a 1940s US Navy workwear design, this classic chambray shirt has been worn by everyone from sailors to farmers to artists, embodying ASPESI’s no-nonsense appeal. It’s simple, but therein lies its genius: a piece that feels rugged yet refined, perfect under a blazer or over a t-shirt.

La 13 Shirt
The La 13 technical shirt, first introduced in 1988, represents ASPESI’s cutting-edge approach to fabric and function. Crafted from lightweight polyamide and padded for warmth, this shirt was so ahead of its time that, when it launched, customers were left wondering. Is it a shirt? Is it a jacket? Is it a hybrid? The answer: It’s all you need.

Jil Vest
Fast forward to 1998 and the Jil Vest is a lightweight, refined piece inspired by Canadian outdoor apparel. With its subtle Thermore insulation and super-lightweight nylon construction, the Jil combines urban sophistication with outdoor practicality. It’s versatile, designed to be layered, and perfect for adventure, whether traversing city streets or exploring the wilderness.

Dirty Harry Coat
Each piece in the ARCHV collection is imbued with a sense of history, yet it feels incredibly modern. Like the 2012 Dirty Harry Coat: inspired by Clint Eastwood’s character in the 1971 film, this raw cotton masterpiece embodies the cool, cool attitude that defines ASPESI’s design language. It’s a coat that doesn’t shout, but speaks eloquently.

ASPESI’s genius lies in its ability to blend technical innovation with timeless style. Whether it’s the M65 military jacket or the Slim Banana pants with their relaxed silhouette, each piece in this collection tells a story of silent evolution.
