THE LATEST ARRIVALS FROM SASSAFRAS are a perfect example of how classic wool coats, vests and trousers can be transformed by subtle, clever details. For Sassafras, a brand inspired by gardening, these details are informed by what the green thumb might need while working out in the field. The Fall Leaf Coat, for instance, has a clean, traditional car coat silhouette, yet it’s elevated by a contemporary raglan sleeve and oversized flap pockets; the Crazy Gardener Vest is a reliable wool navy vest, yet it’s reversible and the collar can be detached. Season after season, Sassafras is able to add gardener-worthy utility without making clothes that look like gardening gear. We enlisted Naoki Hamano to style the latest drop to showcase the sartorial ingenuity of the brand.
