What to know about East Harbour Surplus
Military surplus rebuilt with Italian ease
Field jackets, chore coats and pleated trousers redraw 1950s-60s naval and workwear patterns into relaxed Italian tailoring, with Korean and Japanese streetwear cues in the fit.
Washed and garment-dyed, made in Italy
Natural fabrics are washed or garment-dyed before they reach you, so texture and faded colour are built in rather than earned over time.
A Korean-Italian pairing behind it
Founded in Florence in 2008 by designer Han Tae Min and production specialist Fabrizio Vanni, it sells from a Via Maggio shop and heritage stockists like Division Road and Trunk.
