Description

Ideal to touch up short hair, beards, moustaches and other fringes. Of mahogany colour, the pocket comb the Indomitable restores perfection to capricious hair without fail.

Although there is historical evidence for the existence of pocket combs made of bone or wood in more or less refined shapes for centuries, its current, collapsible form was fixed in the 20th century. Firstly in vogue in the 1920s among the “garçonnes” for the maintenance of their bob cuts, the pocket comb became famous in the 1950s among bad boys with impeccable locks, admired in films: the rebel James Dean, the charismatic champion of the “greasers” Marlon Brando, on motorbikes and wearing leather jackets in the Wild One in 1953 and the West Side Story gangs with impeccable style.
It was then the time of the rock’n’roll idols: the eccentric Little Richards and the “King”, Elvis Presley and his rockabilly cut known as “Pompadour”, maintained with mastery thanks to a pocket comb and strengthened with gomina.
In the 1960s, the pocket comb became the companion of businessmen with impeccable hairstyles, embodied to perfection a few years ago in the film Mad Men by Don Drapper.
Well, from the outsider to the elegant perfectionist, from the rockabilly bad body to the dandy, it is impossible to live without carrying L’Insoumis in your pocket!

Cut from a block of very high quality acetate, it is shaped, sculpted and then polished. The teeth and notches are especially arranged so as not to injure the hair. A plant fibre, the acetate reveals a unique pattern specific to each comb.
This luxurious object is stored in our famous velvet pouches to be transported safely.

“The person who doesn't scatter the morning dew will not comb gray hairs.”
Hunter S. Thompson

The Officine's prowess

An eternal traveler and passionate about ancestral know-how and its proper transmission, L'Officine explores the four corners of the globe to unearth unrivalled beauty instruments and skincare rituals, with their fine craftsmanship and fascinating history.
L'Officine went to India to admire the infinite colorimetry of the landscape, the variety of materials and forms, and the accuracy of ancestral gestures handed down from generation to generation. The Indian hand - sincere, meticulous and patient - creates bold beauty accessories with impeccable shapes. They are the culmination of long hours of cutting, shaping, polishing and faceting.
L'Officine fervently defends the universal gesture of craftsmanship, in this case Indian, which captivates the world with its great dexterity, the multiplicity of its details and the strength of its colors.

Its three models of folding acetate combs - Le Rebel, Le Voyageur and l'Insoumis - are particularly suited to the tastes of this masculine gender for whom the ear of hair is blasphemy. They can be used to style or re-style hair in any situation, anywhere.

Advice for Use & Care

Softness and dexterity are the key words of a successful disentangling operation: it is unnecessary to force your way or to comb too frankly.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

This comb can be cleaned with a cloth and a little water.
A little trick known to all eyewear manufacturers, being a natural fibre, acetate must be hydrated twice a year with a rich texture such as shea or coconut butter.

It is recommended to keep the acetate of this comb away from sudden changes in temperature or high temperatures (direct sunlight, hot water).

Dimensions

10,5 x 3,2cm

Composition

Cellulose acetate, a luxurious material, was invented in 1865 by Paul Schützenberger and then perfected at the very beginning of the 20th century by two Swiss chemists Camille and Henri Dreyfus. This biopolymer, based on cotton, has several properties that make it the perfect component for Officine combs: soft to the touch, it is perfectly resistant to water and the passage of time.
