Post Archive Faction (PAF) for Men

PAF: Construction Made Visible

Post Archive Faction, usually shortened to PAF, works from Seoul under founder Dongjoon Lim. The house builds asymmetry into the pattern itself, so a jacket rarely reads the same on the left as on the right, and the fastenings, zips and panels are placed to be noticed. Collections are released as numbered volumes, which frames each one as an iteration on a running experiment rather than a seasonal reset.

Outerwear and Trousers

Technical outerwear is the strongest part of the range, cut in coated and bonded fabrics with adjustable panels and unusual closure points. Trousers follow the same thinking, with articulated knees and seams that run where the body bends rather than where a pattern block suggests. Both sit in Men Post Archive Faction clothing, along with the jersey and knitwear that round out each volume.

Accessories and Small Pieces

The hardware language carries into smaller items, and Post Archive Faction (PAF) Accessories is the easiest entry point if you want the label's detailing without committing to a full outerwear piece. Bags, caps and eyewear turn up here as each volume lands.

Shop Post Archive Faction at MARAIS

PAF sits within the Men's Luxury Designer Fashion edit at MARAIS, a Melbourne luxury retailer shipping Australia wide. Reduced pieces from earlier volumes appear in men sale post archive faction and across the wider Men's Luxury Designer Sale.

Post Archive Faction FAQs

What does PAF stand for?

Post Archive Faction. The label is almost always referred to by its initials, and searches for PAF clothing lead to the same house.

Why are PAF collections numbered?

The house releases work as numbered volumes rather than named seasons, presenting each drop as a continuation of the same design research.

How does PAF sizing run?

Outerwear is cut generously to allow for layering and adjustment, so your usual size is normally correct. Trousers vary by style, so check the measurements listed on each product page.
