First off, I was never really exposed to punk or grunge growing up so that aspect of this collection is lost on me. Without the nostalgia, this collection just seems like a boring mishmash of stripes and helvetica to me. The Charles Peterson graphics strike me as less impactful on sportswear than on the suit he made a decade ago.
Digging a bit deeper, it seems the bombers are made from vintage quilts -- cool, but not particularly notable when other Japanese brands have been doing similar things for years. Apparently the shirts can be worn both backwards and inside out, which is interesting... will have to see those in person. I'm sure there will be plenty more surprises, construction-wise, but from a birds-eye view this collection doesn't do much for me.

Yeah I did grow up with punk and grunge (and in the northwest no less) so this has all been played out for years now. Especially when the references are at the most basic, obvious level. I know he likes to wear his influences on his sleeve but this isn't "I loved and deeply dove into this scene" as much as it is "I had a TV in the 90s".Last edited by croatoan; 07-01-2018, 07:02 PM.
