AW08 Number (N)ine ‘Multi Pocket’ My Private Portland Beige Cargo Jacket

Takahiro Miyashita’s Autumn 2008 collection at the Number (N)ine Maison was titled ‘My Own Private Portland’ in reference to Gus Van Sant's film, "My Own Private Idaho,” starring River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves. As a final farewell to the designer’s undying love for Western style and gritty Americana grunge, this season he’d revive staples of blue collar mediocrity with a trope of rebellion. Bringing life to Pendleton flannels and tonal shearling lined overcoats, Miyashita welcomed the trade worker’s wardrobe with open arms, taking on a challenge unlike something we’d seen before. Hidden in the details, between the tonal patchworking of hunting gear and fisherman’s attire sat staples of revolt, like 40 pocket parkas and distinctly modern, full silver deer paper chain necklaces.

Debuting in Number (N)ine’s Autumn 2008 collection, this insane down jacket features 14 cargo pockets and metallic accents throughout. Fit with wooden button closures and top loading zipper mechanisms on the torso, leather elbow patches sit atop either sleeve, in pair with a reflective hood liner. Tagged as size medium (2), this piece comes in pristine condition.
