If I was skinny (and rich) I'd buy the entire scab collection.

[Njalle 282]

The Nature Camo backpack from 2010 S/S. I bought the big one from the seller (he's legit!), but the small one is still for sale.

[conqueror 729,334]

if you can't afford scab shit, just befriend your local crust punk and get him to make you up some jawns.

[bryanayrb 755,383]

really liked openstrings.. much better than underman

Oh man, I totally went through that phase growing up, I had the full Monty, studded black vest patches up black pants etc. but it's not as comfy as the undercover stuff.

[conqueror 729,334]

on that note anyone else think GIRA / GILA is a GISM nod?

4 letter acronym with rotating meanings?

of course it is a GISM ripoff - he loves all the old jp punk bands. from memory he has some sakevi art in his office.

[alexsade 2,538]

The website is very Undercover imo.

By the way, do you know if there is a men piece? Impossible to be sure

[undercover73 2,258]

I think 2006 S/S 'T' (To the universe) has to be my favourite collection. All the Krautrock referenced stuff was fantastic. The whole collection was based around the t shirt. Most of my all time favourite Undercover prints came from that collection.

[conqueror 729,334]

scab invite is great.

this thread quickly became my favorite. S/S12 is much better than the last three collections to me. Well F/W11 is up in the air till I get better looks of it.

[undercover73 2,258]

Agreed. SS12 looks very promising. Love the styling and and quite a few of the specific pieces. Liking the loose cargo pants and the hunting style jacket.
