50 mm tape along raglan seams and hood, placed at the height car lights actually reach.

Cut like streetwear

Tapered training pant and raglan shell shaped for the city, not the race corral.

Made in Portugal

Technical fabric and small-batch manufacturing from Portuguese mills and factories.

Built to be worn hard

Our story

Why we started with the night

Most reflective gear is built for being seen and nothing else. We wanted the opposite: clothes with the cut of a technical jacket or a tapered pant, made visible only when light finds them. That means real fabric and real construction, so we went to Portugal for technical mills and small-batch factories that can hold the standard at low volume. The first collection is three pieces because that is what the idea needs. Everything else follows the first drop.

Nocturne exists because the best running hours are the ones most brands ignore. We take Portuguese technical fabric and merino blends, cut them like the streetwear our customer already owns, and place retroreflective detailing exactly where headlights hit. Three pieces, made in small batches, so the collection stays tight and the product stays repeatable.

Who it is for

01

The after-work runner

You train in the dark because that is when the day allows it, not as a novelty.

02

The technical-jacket owner

You already buy technical outerwear and streetwear in the €80-200 range and notice construction.

03

The urban runner

You run in the city, on roads and paths, where being seen is a practical requirement.

How the first drop works

  1. Join the waitlist

    Leave your email. You get first notice of pre-order dates and sizing before public release.

  2. Pre-order your size

    When the first batch is confirmed, pre-orders open by size. Small batch means limited quantities per size.

  3. Ships from Portugal

    Orders ship once the batch is finished and checked. Waitlist members hear the date first.

Questions

Anything else? Join the list and ask us directly.

When does the first drop ship?

The first batch is in sampling. Join the waitlist and you will get the ship date before it is public. We will not publish a date until production confirms it.

What does the shell cost?

The reflective seam running shell is €120. Pricing for the base layer and training pant is confirmed with the first drop; waitlist members see it first.

Where is it made?

In Portugal, in small batches, using Portuguese technical fabric. The spec sheet above fixes fabric, trims and construction.

How reflective is it, really?

Reflectivity is in the trims: 50 mm retroreflective tape on the shell's raglan seams and hood, and a 20 mm strip on the base layer forearm. It is placed where headlights hit.

What sizes will be available?

The size run is being finalised with the first batch. Waitlist members get the size chart before pre-orders open, and we will say plainly if a size is not in the first run.

Can I return it?

Return terms will be published with the pre-order page, before you can buy. We will not take pre-orders without them stated.
