The Kestrel, by Volante Design.

http://volantedesign.us

Light weight but durable, and our most comfortable jacket to date. Made from light/mid weight denim and fully lined. Perfect for cool spring days and summer nights. Gauntlet-style cuffs are half denim, half cotton knit, and made to stretch and fit your wrist, making for a comfortable snug fit that keeps the sleeve out of the way.

Available in mens and womens cuts, seven sizes each, and four major color schemes. Each one is hand made and produced within the domestic USA.

Assassin Jacket.

This is the evolved form of the black/yellow beaked jacket from a few weeks ago. The design has been adjusted to increase range of motion so that it is more suitable for parkour and stunting. It also now has zipper pockets, so that you don’t lose your things while jumping from rooftop to rooftop.

This is the third and final Volante jacket to be used as a costume is Assassin’s Creed: Artefact 2

Shown in the Practical Assassin color scheme: grey main, red secondary.

Women’s Modern Assassin Armor.

This is the denim Modern Assassin Armor, women’s style, in black/red. This particular version is intended for use as costuming in Assassin’s Creed: Artefact 2 as well, for the 2nd of the 3 main characters.

Since the characters will be active in martial arts and acrobatic stunts, we designed special gussets for increased range of motion in the arms.

Assassin Beaked Jacket: Daniel Cross color scheme.

I would like to introduce this new design. It is an upgraded version of the Beaked pullover/zipper hoodie seen here: http://blog.volantedesign.us/post/18382002708

It will be available in two versions, un-lined and lined. At this point it doen’t have a concrete price point, but expect around ~$125-$150.

The jacket is designed with a higher range of motion than that of the Modern Armor, but has the sturdiness of denim that the sweatshirts don’t quite provide. There will be an option to order the jacket with ‘gauntlet cuffs’ as pictured here, or the standard cuffs of the Modern Armor. In future incarnations of the jacket, I will probably change the pockets to zippered pockets, so that the jacket can be worn for high-activity sports like parkour.

Ancestors: Kenway Options

Since the Kenway jacket is available with two closure options, this post is to help explain the differences. Keep in mind, I have only made the asymmetrical option, so the symmetrical images are photoshopped and approximate.

In the top two images, on the left is the center fastened option, and the right in the asymmetrical option. The symmetrical option has narrower turnback panels and falls a little further apart, because the panel is turned away from the center, where the asymmetrical option has wider panels which when turned back fall closer to the center.

The middle image shows how the asymmetrical version looks when half-closed, exposing the blue ‘lapels’, which is a feature I personally like.

The bottom two images are laid out the same way as the top two, with the symmetrical version on the left. The left one zippers down the center of the wearer’s chest, where the asymmetrical version closes more like a fencing jacket. On the actual version of the symmetrical style, the left most zipper would not be complete when the jacket is closed, but would instead be half of a zipper, as would the right most zipper, where the center zipper would be both sides of a zipper fastened together.

I hope this helps to clarify, if there are further questions, feel free to ask in email.

Kenway Jacket - $345 USD

Unfortunately, orders are currently closed. Please follow my blog or keep an eye out at volantedesign.us for updates.

Ancestors: Kenway

At long last, here it is, the Kenway coat. Based on Connor Kenway’s revolutionary war regimental assassin coat. It sports turnback center panels with reversible zippers so it can be worn open or closed, as well as turnback tails which fasten at the back center, and can be unbuttoned and let to hang, for protection from the elements. Also includes a fitted, removable hood, and reversible epaulettes with the main color [white] on one side and the accent [blue] on the other.

Currently it is available with either a center zipper which folds back, or asymmetrical fastening, for a wider fold on the front panel. There will be more photos posted tomorrow to help describe the options. I also intend to design a shorter, waist-length version at a reduced cost, for those who don’t like to wear long coats, but I had to focus on this one first. Both will include two large outer pockets, and an inside breast pocket. Available with either high quality black plastic coat buttons, or brass half-dome buttons.

I tried to keep the price as low as possible, and the price I have decided on may turn out to be too low, but I will not know until I have made a few. I apologize in advance if I have to raise the price in the future.

Available to order for men and women. The overall design will not be different, only the tailoring will change. As always, can be ordered in virtually any combination of colors. Usually made of canvas or heavy weight denim, but can be ordered to preference.

Speed Racer Jacket.

Designed for forward mobility with the arms. I’ve driven a total of about 8 hours in this jacket, and it’s super comfortable. Doesn’t have pockets on the outside, to preserve that streamlined look, but instead has an inside breast pocket on either side. I’m going to offer it with or without the quilting on the blue sections of fabric, so there is a deluxe version, and an economy version.

Like all of my other jackets, this one is available in any color scheme you ask for, assuming I can find the fabric.

Economy - $250

Deluxe - $300

Modern Assassin Armor

This is the one I made for Hank. I tried to color correct the photo to closely match the actual colors. It’s intended to be the darker colors of Ezio from Revelations, which had a more burgundy red, and blueish/grey. I also included an image of the internal of the jacket, showing the full lining, with a panel of stretch cotton in the back so that the lining never gets in the way of your mobility.

When you order one, be sure to challenge my original vision with your own input on color choice.

Lined - $350 USD

Unlined - $240 USD

My favorite purchase of the Year: Custom Modern Assassin’s Armor from Enzo Volante.

A very happy customer. When I first got his email, he asked for Revelations Ezio color scheme, which is a little more steel grey/blue, and burgundy, which really excited me. I’m always happy when people ask for a color scheme I’ve never done before, because it challenges my own vision of my work, and opens my mind to new possibilities.

Insieme per la vittoria!
