barneys ny and revolve have isaora, machus did at some point as well. 

i really like my 3L m65 but it could have definitely benefitted from a double zip.. 

[Inkinsurgent]

the problem with isaora is they never really committed to a singular aesthetic. they always flipflopped between wanting to be nike sportswear and wanting to be veilance and in the end they were neither.

I was just thinking the same while looking through their current catalog. They have no real discernible design aesthetic. Casting too wide of a net IMO.

Idk how functional this thing is if you have to take off the jacket to access anything in the back pack. 

[danii]

sucts when raining and you nee your car keys which are on the bottom of main compartment. also you can only stand in the public transport, but if someone asks you to remove your backpack because you are taking too much place you can say it's your jacket. (have y-3 backpacker vest so I have some experience with this concept)

[brainerd666]

That thing is fugly.

Small Questions Thread Edition:

What is this jacket with this small dorsal fin on the hood and what would that be for?

I think the image with the dog shows the rest of the jacket for reference.

I figured ask here because my guess is it's a military design.

If I am wrong let the neg rep fly.

No idea, but just wanted to point out and laugh at the fact that that may be a bear, not a dog.

My initial guess was that the 'fin' is just the end of a storm-flap type thing to better waterproof the full zip going through the hood. Thing is, I can't see any hardware on the flap to snap into the button to our left of the zipper tab.

maybe you point into the right direction. Maybe the 'fin' is just placed there to get a grip when you open or close the zipper.

The fin is a button closure. It looks similar to a russian k-19 fleet jacket. 

[mizzar]

Also this is Fidel Castro during USSR visit, the pup is bear and the flap (not fin it's a long flap but the photo make it look like one) is a simple shirt button closure, not snap button,

Very very similar to k-19 or one of the modifications.

Wings & Horns fall season has dropped and looks dope as fuck. Loving the schoeller and polartec wool & shearling options.

Does anybody know about an anti-pickpocket solution I could use during my travels? Everything I've seen so far looks kind of tacky/uncomfortable. I'm looking to store my wallet/its contents and a passport.

Clothing Arts. Technical materials and construction; I think NYC based, anti pick pocket tech and travel features throughout

SDR has a passport pouch you can wear around your neck under your shirt/jacket/etc.

I wear those in crowded/risky places https://store.enfinleve.com/collections/all-items/products/urturi-technical-poplin-cargo-pants

There is a zipper pocket under the panel/flap, impossible for pickpocketers

I recently bought something similar from single man operation Tread Lite Gear from the UK Ebay Passport neck wallet about 24UKP (though it doesn't look like he has made any more of the Cuben hybrid ones). Thread of his over here: Tread Lite Gear thread at trek-lite.com

What is this? It looks like a nigel cabourn photographer jacket had sex with a north face billboard.

...with a rib knit condom

[brainerd666]

I had a buddy in my youth who used to remove/black out the 'RTH' on all of his TNF gear. I think that would be a proper solution in this case as well.

I remember seeing EASTPAK blacked out to LASTPAK. These DIY bootlegs will return with some avantgarde designer soon.

Looks like a cut & sew job involving a NF duffel bag and a CHN polyester knockoff of a Barbour Mackintosh.
