SOTA presents Chapter 2, a new capsule collection by RF-LL, created exclusively for our store.
Entirely handcrafted in Italy, the collection is a refined exploration of the workwear uniform—its cultural roots, its evolution, and its timeless relevance.
Through a study of form, material, and functionality, Chapter 2 investigates how uniforms shape identity. Drawing inspiration from three distinct traditions—Japanese, American, and French—the collection pays homage to the legacy of workwear, while translating it into a contemporary wardrobe.
Each set is produced in limited numbers, with a focus on craftsmanship, quality, and purpose.
KOJIMA JACKET & PANTS
Japan as method.
Inspired by the precision and philosophy of Japanese craftsmanship, the Kojima set is made from Japanese selvedge denim, washed before construction to achieve a soft hand and lived-in character. The fabric, known for its structure and depth, lends weight and texture to a silhouette that feels both functional and intentional. A quiet uniform, built to endure.
RANCHER JACKET & PANTS
America as archetype.
A reinterpretation of the rugged American ranch uniform, this set is made from light brown canvas, piece-dyed for tonal depth, and finished with brown leather details. The construction balances strength and comfort, nodding to utility while embracing a minimal, wearable form. A workwear classic, viewed through a modern lens.
BLEU DE TRAVAIL JACKET & PANTS
France as foundation.
A tribute to the classic French chore set, reworked in blue canvas and stone-dyed to create a rich, nuanced finish. Every piece carries its own variations—a patina that speaks to time, wear, and individuality. The cut is direct and versatile, echoing the original intent of the uniform: to be lived in, every day.
Chapter 2 is now available exclusively in-store.
