“Kith 101 for AURALEE,” a collaboration between the New York streetwear brand and the esteemed Japanese purveyor of minimalist design, presents a meticulously crafted collection for the discerning gentleman. Spearheaded by Kith‘s Ronnie Fieg and AURALEE’s Ryota Iwai, the project emphasizes premium fabrics, subtle sophistication and Kith’s signature 101 colorways. A shared appreciation for quality and craftsmanship is the foundation of this partnership, evident in the thoughtful construction of each garment.
AURALEE‘s most famous silhouettes are reimagined through the prism of Kith’s refined palette. From outerwear to suiting, knitwear to accessories, the collection offers a comprehensive wardrobe refresh. The provenance of the materials is paramount. Super 120 raw cashmere, ultra-fine Egyptian Finx cotton and sumptuously soft South African Super Kid mohair are just a few examples of the luxurious textiles used throughout. Sourced and crafted in Japan, these premium fabrics elevate everyday essentials to new heights of tactile elegance.

Several key pieces deserve special attention. The Heavy Canvas Liner Coat, crafted from sturdy Japanese canvas with a distinctive textured weave, features a cashmere-and-wool blend lining and an adjustable hood. For more formal occasions, the Melton Chesterfield Coat, rendered in a muted green from the Kith 101 palette, showcases AURALEE’s exceptionally soft Super 160s wool in a twill chambray melton blend. The collection also offers sophisticated suiting options. The single-breasted gabardine jacket and matching trousers, tailored from AURALEE’s ultra-soft Super 140s wool gabardine in a classic gray, exemplify understated luxury.
Beyond these standout pieces, the collaboration extends to a range of elevated basics. Ultra-soft cotton knit hoodies, crewnecks, sweatpants and T-shirts offer comfortable yet sophisticated options for everyday wear. Viyella wool shirts add a touch of classic tailoring. Accessories complement the apparel offering with unbranded headwear, functional bags like the Double Pouch and Puffed Tote, and seasonal pieces like the Milton Balaclava and custom scarves. Each piece bears the subtle mark of thoughtful design, reflecting the shared aesthetic vision of Kith and AURALEE. This collection speaks to the modern man who values quality, craftsmanship and understated elegance.
