Fresh From the Dojo, Imperfects is proud to present a one-of-a-kind collaboration with master wetsuit makers, 7till8. A balanced blend of utility and creativity, the goal was to build a Long John that wouldn’t flush and pair it with a matching jacket that could add further use options. We are proud to say, the job has been done and The Wabi Sabi Suit is live for your scoring as of, now. The product does its job perfectly, in fact, a lot better than we thought it would: no flushing, pure warmth, added mobility and resilience between the mixture of materials and all around one-of-a-kindness. These pieces have been built with the finest Smoothie and Mesh Skin Neoprenes and finished with the utmost attention to detail. There are hidden surprises throughout these water garments that make them honestly original and different from the rest. Designed collaboratively between the doctor of 7till8 neoprene himself, Andrew Park, and Mike Lynch of the Imperf Crew, only a small group of units were produced and are intended to create the finest of human experiences.
