This latest Acid Wash collection from MA.STRUM features across a collection of military inspired outerwear from smocks to field jackets.
You can't really beat a good jacket can you? We'd probably wear our jackets in the summer if we could, some of us still do, because the jacket is quite simply a key ingredient of the whole British casual aesthetic. We're not saying you need to run around Block D of the Den with a flare in your hand like a complete maniac to appreciate the humble jacket but it probably wouldn't hurt to understand the connection. From the 1980s to the mid noughties, military style outerwear has become part & parcel of the
Casual subculture. With an appreciation of a range of Osti brands, it's all about the fabrics, the mad colourways, the pockets and simply looking the part. Another one of them very special Osti connected brands is MA.STRUM which now introduces their very latest Acid Wash collection across a range of military inspired outerwear.

If there's one thing you can say about MA.STRUM is that they have constantly stuck to their guns as far as their designs & ethos are concerned. Perhaps even a little underrated when compared to some of the more well known Italian sportswear brands like Stone Island or C.P. Company. However, MA.STRUM still packs a punch when it comes to garment innovation. The British born technical brand are just as on point when it comes their fabrics. Started back in 2008 (where does time go?) in collaboration with the Massimo Osti Archive, the brand was clearly going to get people talking & quickly gained the attention of the Casual elite for all the right reasons. Even though the brand is now completely independent from the Massimo Osti Archive, the Osti inspiration is still clearly alive & kicking.

No it's not had a bath in LCD, but something more like an Acid wash treatment. The unique dyeing process gives the material a distinct distressed look, something that washing alone could never achieve. Featuring across a range of military inspired outerwear such as the classic smock & funnel neck runner, each style features the brands' signature compass branding to the shoulder.
