British streetwear and skate brand PALACE partners with Amsterdam based textile innovation studio BYBORRE® for a knitted down-insulated jacket, which releases on February the 3rd as part of their Spring 2023 collection.
A futuristic take on 90's and 2000's embroidered jackets born in street culture, the Downtown Jacket is inspired by graphics and signs seen on Chinatowns' streets all around the world. By using contrasting yarn colors and playing with their 3D™ knitting technique, BYBORRE's knit engineers were able to find the perfect balance between the attached and puffy areas of the textile –allowing the outlines of the artwork to pop against the textile's dark blue base, similar to the downtown neon signs against the evening skies.
The jacket is made out of BYBORRE’s signature 3D™ knit, a three-layered knit structure that features an expandable middle layer, depending on where the front and back layers attach. Striving for a more sustainable and transparent supply chain, PALACE chose for a textile that is composed of OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 and GRS certified recycled polyester yarns, made from post-consumption plastic bottles using a chemical-free recycling process.
About BYBORRE®
BYBORRE is a textile company producing innovative knitted textiles for a wide range of applications. What sets them apart is their mission to rethink not just textiles, but the entire way the industry works — with responsibility at its core.
After years of leading technical innovation and developing a striking and instantly recognizable textile language, BYBORRE made a radical move: they opened their platform, giving creators across industries direct access to design their own textiles — a decisive break from the closed, rigid systems that have long defined the industry.
They also took a clear ethical stand: all textiles are produced on-demand, directly tackling the massive environmental impact of overproduction. Through the Textile Passport, every step of the process is fully transparent and traceable — setting a new benchmark for accountability in the textile world.
BYBORRE’s textiles gained immediate international recognition — first in the fashion and sportswear industry, and later across interior architecture, automotive, and lifestyle sectors. Their future-forward approach attracted collaborations with leading brands such as Nike, the Kering Group, BMW Group, Apple TV, Rapha, Gore-Tex, Adidas, McLaren, RipCurl, Natuzzi, The Social Hub, among others.
