Needles and Beams have joined forces to unveil the SS26 Mohair Track Jacket, a groundbreaking collaboration that blends athletic style with luxurious comfort. This exclusive partnership reimagines the classic track jacket, infusing it with the soft, elegant texture of mohair knit, a signature feature of Needles' cardigans.
The result is a sophisticated athleisure piece that elevates the traditional track jacket to a new level of elegance. The design features a minimalist profile, devoid of front pockets, creating a sleek and modern silhouette reminiscent of high-end driver's knit. This minimalist approach is further emphasized by the absence of the traditional track jacket's side stripes and butterfly embroidery, which have been replaced by a subtle, refined aesthetic.
Available in a refined palette of brown, black, and grey, the jacket showcases the unmistakable contrast stripes running down the sleeves and the iconic Papillon (butterfly) motif embroidered on the chest. The soft, hazy texture of the mohair offers a unique visual depth, allowing the jacket to function effortlessly as a standout outer layer or a cozy mid-layer beneath a coat. This versatility makes it a wardrobe essential for any fashion-conscious individual.
The collaboration drops online and in-store at Beams on January 2, 2026, marking a significant moment in the fashion industry. It represents a fusion of streetwear and high fashion, showcasing the potential for athletic wear to be both functional and stylish. This exclusive collection is a testament to the innovative spirit of both Needles and Beams, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in fashion design.
