Needles has been running under Nepenthes since 1988, with Keizo Shimizu treating vintage clothing as raw material rather than reference. The Rebuild line takes existing garments apart and reassembles them into new ones, so no two pieces are identical.

The track set is the piece most people know. Poly-smooth fabric, a side stripe and the butterfly embroidery, cut wide through the leg and available across a rotating set of colourways.

The HD pant covers the wider trouser end, and the Rebuild shirts remain the most unpredictable part of the range. For FW26 the Rebuilds shift from colour blocking to overdye.

Needles runs deep units across a narrow SKU count, so what is listed is genuinely in stock now rather than pre-order.

Looking for something specific?

What are Needles track pants?

Poly-smooth track pants with a side stripe and the butterfly embroidery, cut wide through the leg. They are the piece the label is best known for and run across a rotating set of colourways.

What is Needles Rebuild?

A line where existing vintage garments are cut apart and reassembled into new ones. Every Rebuild piece is one of a kind. For FW26 the Rebuilds shift from colour blocking to overdye.

Does Needles run true to size?

Needles uses Japanese sizing, which runs roughly one to two sizes small against international equivalents. The track pants in particular are cut very wide, so most people size to their waist rather than their usual label size.

What is the Needles butterfly?

The brand's logo, embroidered on the track sets and used across the range. It has become the most recognisable part of the label.

Is Needles stock replenished?

Needles runs deep units across a narrow SKU count, so what is listed is genuinely in stock rather than pre-order. Popular colourways still sell through.
