For those on the front lines

Americans may think that camo is just for huntin’ and soldiers. The Italians however, think otherwise. They’ve taken a pattern that’s made for blending and flipped the script on it. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, I’ll let Lawrence get you up to speed.

I’m sure it’s been said somewhere else already, but camo seems to be poppin’ off right now. I’m not sure how many times it landed on the runway during Pitti Uomo (My seats were on the other side of the world.), but as you know now, it was plentiful in the streets.

There are some Americans that are participating in the scene, though. Jake Davis recently captured Run of the Mill partner Jeremy sporting some camo cargos and Angelo over at EyeFiveStyle just thrifted a camo jacket that now puts him in the squad.

I don’t know if you’ll find me rockin’ camo this S/S, unless someone paints the pattern on linen, but I do like the idea of camo-inspired patterns. I’ve only found one so far and it lives on a parka jacket from Monitaly. Yuki Matsuda, the man behind Monitaly (also Yuketan), is the mastermind behind this and other patterned fabric concoctions. I hope the camo-inspired patterns don’t stop with the pattern seen below.
