The twill-woven hybrid of silk and reclaimed nylon is water-repellent, anti-fraying, crease-resistant and lightweight, with the sheen and feel of supple leather. The fabric draws its inspiration from early 20th century silk parachutes and hot-air balloons, reinterpreting their resilience-to-weight ratio and strength through a weave of silk and nylon built for an even sturdier, super-refined structure. Debuting in the classic brown-and-gold Monogram pattern, Silk Tech recalls the brand’s coated canvas paired with vegetable-tanned cowhide leather. The material shows up across a wide range of menswear, from the hooded windbreaker to the down puffer and athleisure styles; LouisVuitton.com.
