Ice Ventura Weave Thorough Loops (Dune Ash)
Ice Ventura Weave Thorough Loops (Dune Ash)
ICE VENTURA COLLECTION
Woven from the shimmer of qilin scales.
When light falls across the fabric,
a subtle glow begins to emerge.
Not a sharp reflection,
but a quiet movement of light that shifts with the body.
Like the shadow of a qilin beneath the night sky.
Present,
yet always in motion.
Inspired by the mythical scales of the qilin,
the Ice Ventura Collection transforms coolness, fluidity, and luminous texture into a fabric language designed for the Eastern summer.
ICE VENTURA-WEAVE
Cool to the touch. Luminous in motion.
Developed with a high-rayon blend,
Ice Ventura-Weave offers a distinctly different wearing experience from our Cotton-Weave series.
Designed for warmer climates,
it delivers:
- Cool comfort
- Soft drape
- Luminous texture
- Lightweight movement
while preserving the signature Eastern structure of the Thorough Loops design.
Like the passing shadow of a qilin,
quiet,
yet impossible to ignore.
After multiple rounds of prototyping and refinement,
the Thorough Loops series preserves the classic structure of traditional Northern Chinese martial garments while reinterpreting it through contemporary fabrics and modern design.
More than clothing,
it serves as a bridge between martial culture and everyday life.
A garment shaped by movement,
practice,
and daily ritual.

Dune Ash
A tone suspended between sand and charcoal.
Under shifting light,
it reveals layers of warm grey, muted gold, and cool stone.
Like wind-worn rock beneath drifting desert dust.
Calm,
earthy,
and quietly refined.

Clothing Shapes the Way We Move
What we wear affects how we breathe,
move,
and carry ourselves.
When clothing encourages movement rather than restriction,
the body begins to respond differently.
From daily life,
tea gatherings,
and travel,
to martial arts training.
We believe clothing should return to its most essential purpose:
to become an extension of the body itself.
A Modern Interpretation of Traditional Martial Wear
After years of prototyping and refinement,
the Thorough Loops series reinterprets traditional Northern Chinese martial garments through contemporary design and fabric development.
More than clothing,
it serves as a bridge between martial culture and modern life.
A garment shaped by movement,
practice,
and everyday ritual.
To master martial arts, you first need intense focus and a peaceful mind. Lacing up the loops to clear your mind and recover your sensitivity. The path to spiritual awakening starts from your fingertips.
Untie the loops in just 3 seconds. The "fast-release" feature makes it easy to check out any wound or injury on the body. It also symbolizes an end of the session, letting go of nerves and intense emotion caused by the training or fighting.
The history of the thorough loops can be traced back to the Ming and Qing Dynasties in China. Back then, only kung fu masters and apprentices would wear clothes with thorough loops. The attire was not only training gear but also proof of their kung fu identity. Some might have noticed that Jing-Wu Martial School used the same loops on their uniforms in the early 1900s.
However, this authentic design has gradually replaced by modernized clothes since the 1930s. Till now, it has nearly become a lost art.
The energy flow, so-called "Chi" or "Qi", is a critical concept in Chinese martial arts. To make sure the flow is smooth, your kung fu suit should not cause any pause to your movements; otherwise, your moves won't be powerful enough because the energy is blocked.
The cutting on the shoulder is a whole piece of fabric, perfectly connecting the two sleeves to the back. This seamless design provides exceptional stretchability for smooth movement.
Buttons and knots often break off kung fu movement, while the thorough loops don’t. The loops can distribute and dissolve force applied upon them, eliminating any possible obstacles from the cloth.
Another downside of buttons is that they could easily become targets. If your enemy punches you on the button, it can hurt you badly because all the force is concentrated on that single spot.
What about zippers? A zip jacket won't stick to your body as it often puckers, and you'll have to pull it from time to time. It is quite distractive especially when you're training.
We believe that warriors can be categorized by their bone structure and body shape. There are 5 types of warriors, a hawk, a crane, a dragon, a tiger, and a bear. Before you get the gear, find out your warrior types first:
We make different frame types based on the 5 warrior types. If your measurements are between sizes, select a larger size for a looser fit or a smaller size for a tight fit.
