MYAR SS21 COLLECTION / RE_CLASSIC / PRESENTS

SEJ7B

SWEDISH JACKET - 1970

PRESENT

Original Swedish customized jacket with POST NO MYAR silkscreen printing that recalls the signs with the text POST NO BILLS present in American urban streets near construction sites. In these places it is forbidden to post flyers, when it happens the builders erase them by covering them with tone on tone paint: this fading effect recreates a sort of urban camouflage.

POST NO MYAR reflects the respect that MYAR wants to maintain towards the beauty of the original garments.

PAST

This parka was given to the Swedish Army to be used in different climate conditions over the uniform. The model is called M62 because it was part of the uniform first released around the beginning of the 1960’s. The item was windproof and waterproof, and was very practical for the troops because it was easy to fold and to place in the rucksack. It existed also in variations with fur lining.

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

On each garment is applied a QR code that, once scanned, will tell the historical origin of the piece and the type of workmanship that has been made.

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.

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. 

MYAR a modern viwe of the past
