The MA.STRUM Nylon Grid Smock Features A Woven Ripstop Fabric

If there's one thing MA.STRUM know a thing or two about its military inspired gear & this latest Nylon Grid Smock ticks all the boxes.

Who doesn't love a nice smock? Since the Mods first donned that classic cadet style back in the 1960s, the classic military silhouette has seen its fair share of subcultural appreciation. The "Casual" connection & the big jacket craze of the late 80s & early 90s saw the smock come back round full circle courtesy of rave culture which merged designer gear from the terraces with functional outerwear for the outdoors. Camos & olives were ditched for mad colourways yet the original silhouette still remained. Mid 90s Britpop saw another revival of the smock, this time back in OG military form with the 'Champagne Supernova' connection still burning just as strong today. If there was ever a certain style of outerwear you knew the British designer brand, MA.STRUM, could do a decent job of it was always going to be the classic military smock. With its inspirations firmly rooted in military gear & technical garb, this latest Nylon Grid Smock ticks all the boxes.
