About the People:

Leonardo - Lives with mild and intermittent depression, after a period of injury affected his potential soccer career. At the time of the injury it was quite deep period, two or three months. He was unable, not wanting, to be with the people usually he loves, instead internalizing the happenings mainly lying in bed with extreme lack of energy. Sessions with a psychologist helped Leonardo regain his true self, however he is aware now of depression and has the tools to manage it when it comes. Leonardo is of Italian and Cuban descent.

Nina - Nina’s experiences with mental health are more indirect, in that during her time currently at university away from her home country of France, the majority of Nina’s friends and community are feeling sensitive around their mental health. “So many people are feeling anxious, stressed, struggling with depression and anxiety. It seems nobody feels safe. At its worst, there are several people where the anxiety is manifesting into eating disorders like anorexia nervosa”. Nina advises that several of her community are seeking support through therapy.

About the Product:

Hybrid polo jacket pullover sweat top. Top half is gabardine. Bottom half and sleeves is subtle geometric pattern cotton shirting material. The gabardine fabric is an exclusive yarn to EBiT™ weaved in an Italian artisanal family owned mill in north-east Italy, using organic cotton on a machine with 80,000 needles (see process videos). Gabardine is a fabric often used for strength and durability, symbolizing a new form of uniform and protection, for those fragile and sensitive days.

Body/sleeves are luxury grade geometric pattern (zoom in!) cotton shirting material serving a subtle visual to the eye and super soft to the touch. Unisex, structured around neck and shoulders, giving elegance, while comfort and ease through the body and sleeves in the sweatshirt material. Raw edges symbolize the raw state of our emotions, cut off but always a cool effortless vibe. The gabardine fabric ‘breathes’ and softens over time the more times it’s worn, almost molding to the shape and movements of your body.

About the Label:

Every EBiT™ item of clothing has the signature 66cm light blue label, containing deep references that yearn to be researched. It's visible through the octagon hole (the octagon being a symbol of rebirth, transition). The label has multiple styling options, intentionally designed to be:

• Worn inside the garment with the flash of blue visible to the outside
• Pulled through the octagon feature and worn externally outside the garment with the long label flowing freely
• Cut-off completely exposing your undergarment, your skin, your tattoo, etc.

The EBiT™ signature long light blue label is symbolic of how we contain or express our inner most emotions every day - being cut off, feeling open yet protected or feeling completely free and externalizing that day.
