Obey your military leaders with a lust for life

OJ0050MILzoom1 Obey your military leaders with a lust for life

I thought that after going to all the effort of asking if you wanted to see coats on here I should probably post at least 1 coat in 2006, and when I noticed this coat by Obey I thought it made the HYA grade. It seems like a pretty simple coat, but there’s a few little touches that make it a bit more interesting, like the unusual shape of the cuffs, the enlarged breast-pockets, and the use of sew-ons and printed letters. You all know a Karmaloop post wouldn’t be complete without a bit of blurb:

“Military Iggy Pop II Jacket (Jackets By Obey) If James Brown is the godfather of soul, and Elvis is the king of Rock and Roll, then Iggy Pop is sort of like the weird, strung-out uncle of punk and heavy metal. Maybe the weird uncle that was in the army and has never been quite right. That would explain the military styling of this jacket. Iggy: big fan of tweed, which happens to be the lining of this jacket. Hmmm, curious.”

They’re up in arms and I’m just hiding

WomUpInArmsHoody 2 Theyre up in arms and Im just hiding

Oh yes, this is one hell of a hoodie! There’s just so much great stuff going on. First off there’s printing on the front and back, and the design kind of wraps over the top of the hoodie. Secondly, the design of the girls arms runs through the pockets, and its pretty rare to see that in a design, so its good to see someone playing about with that as a design point. Thirdly, the arms glow in the dark, which I’m sure you’ll either love or hate. Fourth, the print makes its way onto the hood (even if it is just a brief appearance). This hoodie from INDVSL ticks most of the boxes for me, the only drawback is that its exclusively for the girls, oh well, maybe next time.
