US NAVY DIGITAL CAMOU JACKET - 1990'S
PRESENT / CAMOU ON CAMOU
US Camouflage Digital Navy Blue Jacket, camou on camou.
Scraps of fabric from prototypes and dead stock, lasered and sewn individually on hood, shoulders and back to recreate the original camouflage effect on which camouflage is based.
Normally we use nature (leaves, branches and land) to camouflage.
Here we used our left over which thus becomes the main interpreter of the design of this jacket.
Padded orange lining inside embroidered with onion stitch, detachable and wearable individually.
The hood is detachable and covered with the same fabric offcuts.
PAST
MARPAT (short for Marine pattern) is a multi-scale camouflage pattern in use with the United States Marine Corps, designed in 2001 and introduced from late 2002 to early 2005 with the Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform (MCCUU), which replaced the Camouflage Utility Uniform. Its design and concept are based on the Canadian CADPAT pattern.
The pattern is formed of small rectangular pixels of color. In theory, it is a far more effective camouflage than standard uniform patterns because it mimics the dappled textures and rough boundaries found in natural settings. It is also known as the "digital pattern" or "digi-cammies" because of its micropattern (pixels) rather than the old macropattern (big blobs).
PACKAGING
Our packaging bag is made of 97% vegetable fibre (beetroot or sugar cane). The only reason this does not reach 100% is because it is manufactured using machines that usually process plastic which may leave small traces behind. The raw material is completely petrol-free and fossil substance-free. We ask you to always be careful not to dispose of it in the environment, but for safety we have added an additive that makes it completely biodegradable within 48 months.
MYAR is committed every day to selecting products that do not pollute the planet.
HANGTAG
MYAR commitment is to bring back to life past used military garments that have been stocked for long time in darkened warehouse, bringing back the light in the present time, for a second life in a civil environment.
The up-cycling process involving MYAR is not only an aesthetic intervention but also a process of historical knowledge
This process of customization is also witnessed by a small white cloth sachet containing scraps of fabrics: a part of the past of this garment, which has been modified from the original to be worn today for the future coming.
