Kapital Kountry “Hirata” Full Zip Hoodie – Black / Light Gray

Kapital Kountry “Hirata” Full Zip Hoodie – Every Other Brand Spells It Country. Kapital Spells It Kountry. The K Is the Distance Between the Japanese Craftsman and the American Field He Is Dreaming Of.

The Kapital Kountry story is the story of a specific kind of distance — not the distance that separates two places on a map, but the distance that separates the person who is in a place from the person who is dreaming of a place, the distance that the dream adds to the reality when the dream has been going on long enough to have produced the specific version of the reality that only the dream can produce. Country is the American word for the specific kind of land that is most completely itself when it is most completely the land that the person who is in it has been working on long enough to have left the evidence of the working on the land. Kountry is the Japanese craftsman’s word for the same land — the same fields, the same sky, the same specific quality of light that the American country produces at the specific hour when the country is most completely itself — but seen from the distance that the Japanese craftsman’s own position adds to the seeing: the K that replaces the C is the distance, the single letter that names the gap between the person who is in the country and the person who is dreaming the country from the other side of the world, the craftsman’s own mark on the word that names the place he is most completely dreaming of. Kapital was founded in Okayama — the city that is most completely the Japanese craftsman’s own when the craftsman is most completely the person who works with the specific indigo and the specific denim and the specific attention to the surface of the fabric that Okayama produces when Okayama is most completely itself. The Hirata family built Kapital from the specific position that Okayama makes possible — the position of the craftsman who has been working with the fabric long enough to have learned what the fabric can do when the fabric is most completely the material that the craftsman’s own attention has made it, and who has been dreaming of the American country long enough to have produced the specific version of the country that only the Japanese craftsman’s dream can produce. Black is the Japanese craftsman’s most complete color — the specific depth that the Japanese color tradition produces when the tradition has been working on the black long enough to have left the specific quality that distinguishes the Japanese black from every other black: the black that is most completely the craftsman’s own when the craftsman is most completely the person who has been working with the color long enough to have made the color most completely the evidence of the working. Light Gray is the Japanese craftsman’s most humble color — the specific pale tone that the Japanese color tradition produces when the tradition has been working on the gray long enough to have left the specific quality that distinguishes the Japanese gray from every other gray: the gray that is most completely the craftsman’s own when the craftsman is most completely the person who has been working with the color long enough to have made the color most completely the evidence of the restraint. Every other brand spells it Country. Kapital spells it Kountry. The K is the distance between the Japanese craftsman and the American field he is dreaming of.
