Massimo Osti Studio introduces Chapter 07, an innovative reinterpretation of GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ that revolutionizes its traditional construction through a unique experimental approach. Drawing inspiration from the avant-garde vision of Massimo Osti, known for his unconventional use of multilayer technical fabrics, Chapter 07 flips the construction of GORE-TEX INFINIUM™, exposing the nylon tricot mesh—typically hidden inside—on the outer surface, while moving the outer layer to the inside. This inversion creates a distinctive and unique texture without compromising performance, maintaining water resistance, windproofing, and breathability.

The collection comprises four GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ garments, each meticulously designed for detail and functionality. Leading the lineup is the Fog Jacket, an iconic piece featuring a detachable collar with adjustable side velcro and a concealed hood. The collar can be attached to an internal gaiter at the waist via a zipper, which also includes a small integrated pocket. The collection continues with a down jacket, combining warmth and protection with a technical yet essential design, complete with a hood lined in fleece. Rounding out the collection are pants and a hat, designed to complete the look while offering practicality and performance for variable weather conditions.

Merino Wool and Double-Knit

Complementing the technical pieces, Chapter 07 includes a selection of garments made from extra-fine merino wool, crafted using double-knit techniques. This lineup features a pullover, a cardigan, and a reversible scarf. The layering of inner and outer fabrics creates an appealing mélange effect, accentuated by contrasting stitching that adds a touch of contemporary elegance.

With Chapter 07: Reversed GORE-TEX INFINIUM™, Massimo Osti Studio honors the legacy of its founder, continuing to push the boundaries of technical design. The collection strikes a perfect balance between functional innovation and sophisticated style, offering garments that embody the pioneering and experimental approach that has made Osti’s name iconic.

Available at select stores and online, Chapter 07 is the ideal synthesis of performance and creativity, crafted for those seeking excellence in both details and functionality.
