BLOG: "From Kabul with Love" Collection (Drops 9/25)

16.png

The timely “From Kabul with Love” collection was conceived as an ode to vintage Afghanistan aesthetics from the late 1970s to the late 1980s - the time of Soviet occupation and the famed Mujahedeen fighters.

Ornate embroideries on fine cotton are featured alongside “War Rug” style all-over prints and weathered movie posters.

Drops Saturday, 9/25 at 3PM EST.


Kabul Collection 9.25.21 | The EDC Short in KLMK 🍃 Our first cotton shorts that feature belt loops for EDC.

EDC Shorts in KLMK

Our first ever cotton shorts that feature belt loops for ease of everyday carry. KLMK (aka Berezka or "Birch Leaf") is a Soviet pattern that was an icon of their 1980s war and occupation in Afghanistan. It was designed to overcome NATO night vision devices at the time, and is perhaps the first digital camo pattern to have been developed and issued (late 1960s.)

There are many versions of KLMK - all with slight variations of shades and colors. The version we used on these shorts is “silver leaf.”

Available in sizes S-3XL
$58

RPG Embroidered Pieces

A clean, minimalistic embroidery on superior quality cut-and-sew cotton. We never use blanks for our tees or hoodies, and these are no exception. The hoodie is constructed of 390GSM French Terry cotton, while the tee is constructed of 230GSM sueded cotton. Customized measurements for a relaxed fit.
The tiny fibers on the outer surface of the tee contribute to an elevated hand-feel. Due to the material comfort and softness, these pieces are at high-risk of being stolen by your gf or bf or bff.

The simple RPG design is inspired by the 2-D representations of small arms seen on Afghan War Rugs.

Hoodies fit True-to-Size, Tees fit relaxed
Available in sizes S-XXL
RPG Embroidered Tee in Black: $40
RPG Embroidered Hoodie in Tan: $88
