What is " PT01 " that brought "fun" to the men's pants industry?
Everyone has a different preference for pants. Brands create items to meet various demands, such as the beauty of tailoring, good or bad silhouettes, traditional history, and comfort. Among them, “PT01 (PT Zero Uno)” is said to have created new values and novelty in the pants industry. This time, we will focus on the brand and introduce its novelty and high design quality!

What is PT01?

A brand specializing in pants launched in 2008 by Mario Stefano MARAN of COVER. The origin of the name is “PANTALONI” which means pants specialist, and “PT” from the initials of “PANTALONI” since the company is based in TORINO, and “01” was adopted to express the desire to be “number one” and “only one” in the industry, and the brand was born. Also, “PT05” is derived from the “5-pocket” jeans model.

Mario, who thought that the pants market lacked interest, updated the brand to a modern narrow silhouette while being conscious of making traditional tailored pants, and it is a pants brand representing Italy that is expanding its popularity due to its high cost performance realized by machine-made.

After gaining experience at INCOTEX, a brand specializing in pants, he proposed the brand name to BOGLIOLI, a factory that was working as an outsourcer at the time, and greatly contributed to the improvement of their branding. Later, he used his branding skills to help launch new stores in Asia for BRUNELLO CUCINELLI, a famous cashmere knitwear brand, and is currently managing “PT01” at COVER. He is a specialist in revitalizing the fashion industry as he has developed various brands including BOLIOLI.

He himself places great importance on “passion” for fashion, and the concept behind PT01 is that the pants must have a level of perfection that moves you when you hold them in your hands.

PT01’s unique project! GHOST PROJECT

The project began with the question, “What kind of pants would PT01 produce if we were to produce pants that are trendy today, without staying within the brand’s own worldview? This project started from the question, “What kind of pants would be produced if PT01 were to produce pants in the current trend?

Specifications that remind you of PT01’s tailor 1 “Marvelte

Compared to casual Italian brand pants, PT01 pants have an elaborate design on the backside of the waist. It is called “marvelt,” which is a specification used by tailors. This specification prevents the hem of a shirt from coming out and makes the design on the back of the pants more luxurious and attractive. Basically, lining is generally used for this specification, but PT01 offers a wide variety of designs for the lining pattern, which is also attractive.

The narrow part at the mouth of the back pockets is called a “ball edge,” and it is said that the narrower this part is, the closer it is to the tailor-made impression. Generally, the width of this narrow part is 5mm or wider, but this brand has created pockets with a width of 3mm. In addition, the brand actually incorporates coin pockets, which would be omitted from casual pants, and it can be seen that it is a brand that expresses its own unique view of the world while adhering to the basics as tailor-made pants.

Looking at these pants, we can notice that they are different from ordinary casual pants. First of all, it is very unusual that the button fly design often seen on jeans is used on casual slacks. The design of this button is also changed every season. Also, the tengu, or protruding waistbelt, has the effect of reducing the bulge in the lower abdomen, giving a more gentlemanly impression. Finally, the stitching on the front is hand-stitched, which gives a more classic look that cannot be found anywhere else. This stitching is used in various locations.
