2001 Reinforced Heavy Jacket

Military style jacket with a strap closure on the neck. Made of a rigid mesh material with tonal General Research branded taping going around on the jacket in white strips. Almost looks like similar to something Helmut would’ve made.

In 1993 Kobayashi Setsumasa created General Research, but has been renamed several times to fit the activity intended of the clothing, most recently mountain research to reflect his love for the outdoors. The mountain research collections are designed when the designers retreat Tokyo to the mountains for each season’s designs. Ever since General Research the lines have been utilitarian and militant for the most part with references to politics and even old punk movements.
