Archive: Quilted Liner
Massimo Osti’s commitment to functionality is evident in his extensive catalogue of garments featuring detachable liners, each designed with purpose & precision.
This archive Left Hand liner, initially designed to be worn inside a jacket, also functions as a standalone piece. While liners are often treated as an afterthought, Osti’s attention to detail seen here speaks to his relentless pursuit of exceptional quality.
The liner features a distinctive 'onion skin' quilting pattern with a subtle metallic sheen, complemented by two spacious chest pockets on either side of its snap-fastened closure. These meticulous touches, typically hidden within the jacket, embody Osti’s "no expense spared" approach to design.
Its boxy silhouette, which resonates with contemporary fashion trends, further underscores his foresight and ahead-of-its-time sensibility.
To attach the liner to its companion jacket, the garment utilises the signature Dutch Rope lacing system - a hallmark of Osti’s designs, seen in his work with Stone Island, C.P. Company, and Left Hand.
Founded in 1993, Left Hand became Osti’s most personal and expressive endeavor, built upon the expertise gained through his earlier ventures. This archival liner stands as a testament to that vision, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship and uncompromising attention to detail that defines Left Hand.
