Theory Project: The User’s Guide
Lucas Ossendrijver’s fall collection for Theory Project offers unexpected depth and dimension. Here he walks us through the eye-catching details and functional aspects of this season’s highlights—all paired back to Theory Wardrobe staples.
The 3-in-1 Parka
“You get so much out of this one piece. It’s designed with a rich fabric and ample pocket space. Underneath, there’s a reversible-detachable liner made with brushed wool and quilted satin that snaps in and out. You can break it apart through fall and wear it all together for a warmer option through winter.”
Precise Tee in Luxe Cotton Jersey
The Reversible Bomber
“Based on a slightly oversized aviator jacket, this bomber has a polished recycled poly side and can be reversed to a brushed wool body with quilted satin sleeves. When you take a closer look at the binding along the closure and the leather finishing on the zipper tab, the workmanship really stands out.”
The Wool Gabardine Pant
"While this is a tailored pant, it’s not only meant to be worn in the context of a suit. The flat-front styling and stretch make it easy to wear for different settings and occasions.”
Sylvain Shirt in Structure Knit
Sylvain Shirt in Structure Knit
The Striped Shirt Jacket
“This streamlined layering piece is a cross between a jacket and shirt. It has a roomier fit so you can wear it over another shirt or under a blazer. It’s made with cotton poplin that has an exclusive pinstripe pattern on it.”
The Merino Wool Sweater
“This sweater is easy-to-wear and finished with a subtle stitching detail along the neckline. The nylon yoke on the back gives it a military accent. It’s great with jeans or a chino, but even better with tailored pants for the sporty contrast.”
