The new A/W 26/27 collection from Ten c, designed by Alessandro Pungetti, places the urban explorer at the center stage. It fuses the timeless appeal of military aesthetics with innovative high-tech materials—an interplay representing progress, experimentation, and a constant quest for new forms of expression. The materials form the heart of the collection, serving as the central narrative of this modern expedition.
The color palette remains rooted in classic military shades, expanded by ivory, taupe, anthracite, olive green, and fresh lime accents. True to the Ten c ethos, color is not merely a surface choice but a narrative element.
The spotlight is once again on the iconic OJJ (Original Japanese Jersey), returning in a variety of new interpretations. In its garment-dyed version, it reveals a rich, patinated surface that underscores the label’s artisanal DNA. Through piece-dyeing and washing, OJJ acquires a softer, authentically lived-in feel, giving rise to new military-inspired designs. The down-filled variant introduces additional silhouettes featuring distinct military references and exceptional thermal properties. The lineup is complemented by OJJ Ultralight 9 oz with PrimaLoft filling—offering maximum lightness, comfort, and quick-drying capabilities. A new addition is OJJ Rubber Ultralight; featuring taped internal seams for complete waterproofing, it is available as the Kirkwool Anorak, Arran Jacket, and Mailand Parka. All three models can be paired with new removable down liners featuring a large diamond-quilt pattern—worn either as standalone pieces or as mid-layers.
The collection also makes a statement with its technical materials: technical nylon and ultra-lightweight down fabrics that are soft to the touch, garment-dyed, and rich in color. Two new matte nylon models feature detachable felt hoods. The signature Nylon Crinkle Combo OJJ returns with its distinctive texture and military-inspired aesthetic.
Knitwear takes on new importance, characterized by generous volumes, rich tactile surfaces, and materials that blend warmth, comfort, and functionality. Dense chenille, three-dimensional bouclé, elastic boiled wool, and heavy lambswool define a new balance between performance and texture. These knitwear pieces integrate seamlessly into Ten c’s outerwear universe, shaping the season’s complete look.
A fresh color narrative emerges under the title „Urban Explorer“: Plaster White, Desert Sage, Asphalt Grey, and Matte Black—hues for those who move quietly through the city, seeking to discover its hidden spaces. Outerwear, mid-layers, trousers, and accessories mark the transition from technical heritage to the urban present—where function becomes aesthetics and materials find a unique language through cut and color. Developed specifically for this Urban Explorer line are two new puffer models: one in Nylon Crinkle Combo OJJ and the other in piece-dyed Nylon Tactel.
The Skye Ten Anorak returns as a signature piece—embodying the fusion of military tradition and urban interpretation. The new versions feature technical fabrics, PrimaLoft insulation, and patterns inspired by urban structures, paving, and architectural surfaces.
Ten c designs accompany the modern explorer’s daily life—created to withstand change and the passage of time. The city evolves, and Ten c evolves alongside those who inhabit it.
