GT-J15 goretex with the waffle inside. I wear it when I need a hood, I usually wear the bomber more though this season.

Thanks !

All that CP company transformable stuff reminded me of Kosuke Tsumura's Final Home

http://www.finalhome.com/en/2006/10/final_home.php

In 1986, while visiting New York, Tsumura - then stylist at Issey Miyake - became fascinated by homeless makeshift shelters and garments. Apparently deeply marked by the pessimistic tone of Blade Runner, Tsumura starts imagining garments for a future where people would live in harsh urban areas without the protection of a roof.

"When one loses his house, the thing which protects him in the end is cloth".

"If we lose our house because of a disaster, war or unemployment, as a fashion designer, what kind of clothes would I propose - and how would they look in trouble-free times?"

Home 1: The first and iconic Final Home piece, a nylon windbreaker with 28 or 44 pockets depending on the length. "Nylon coat came about from me pondering this question. Its concept is 'a cloth which can be adapted according to need'. For example, to protect against the cold, you can put newspapers in the pockets, or if you equip it with survival rations and a medical kit, it becomes a valuable cloth when taking refuge. The name 'FINAL HOME' was first given to this particular garment, and then it became the brand name — it equates to the idea of it being the 'ultimate shelter'."

"The coat comes in three basic colors: "orange" to remind of one's existence; "khaki" to blend in with the forest and "black" to assimilate in the city. Directions for use are written on the bag in which the coat comes."

(prototype)

Receive coat : "The coat is lined with mesh fabric, and by opening the pockets, breathability can be increased.

Valuables can be easily stored in the detachable small pockets."

Krush coat : "Fashion show in collaboration with DJ KRUSH in 1998 Autumn-Winter season. For this event, DJ KRUSH composed a number, titled 'FINAL HOME' and FINAL HOME designed a coat named 'KRUSH model'. "

Coan & Kenaf seeds jacket : "This jacket was created by FINAL HOME and Naohiro Ukawa as an effort towards designing a "Utopia." The patch holds corn and kenaf seeds. The idea behind this design is to rip the patch apart and plant the seeds to grow crops to prevent food shortage in cases of terrorist attacks, war or earthquake disaster."

So, when's Gothaguccigonia going live anyway ? (what's the model name of that jacket with that back strap thing} ?)

Anyone tested the Mission workshop jacket using schoeller c_change fabric ? The thing is supposed to work like a pine cone by opening or condensing depending on the conditions to regulate heat and moisture levels. I know Isaora alos uses c_change for some of its stuff (along with other outdoor brands that lack techninj appeal).

Got this a while ago, just started reading

I have the Outlier climbers, most unrestricting pants I've ever worn. Could use deeper or zip backpockets though.

Can anyone comment on Isaora stuff ?

Does anyone have a link for pre-2000 Helmut Lang collections ? Thx.

yes, glad to see a new Balenciaga/Marni stockist

.............................

^ I got the Vandal, that thing is massive ! Construction is solid, the fabric is pretty stiff which makes zip/unzipping the two small front pockets hard at times. Other than that it does what's advertised. Only problem I've encoutered is that when riding in the drops the top of the bag digs into the back of my neck when I raise my head to look aroud, the belt would probably help and my riding position is a bit fucked so ymmv.

Anyone has a Master-Piece bag ? been meaning to buy one

already posted ?
