How powerful can a simple garment be, when it becomes a symbol of rebellion?

In the third and final episode of Legends in Pattern, we recreate a timeless icon: the military shirt worn by Patti Smith in the mid-’70s — a minimal, masculine piece turned into a statement of personal freedom.
Flap patch pockets, shoulder epaulettes, full sleeve with placket, and classic men’s front closure: each detail defines its structure and attitude.

With Clab Assistant, we start from an accurate base, set the right measurements and volumes, and move quickly into customization. A clear and controlled workflow, even when the garment carries cultural weight.
