The Richardson Spring/Summer 2021 collection nods to the magazine's life. The publication has been in circulation for 20 years and the seasonal capsule honors the milestone. This is the first SS21 drop for the brand and features utility and equipment that can be seen as essential.
This includes a Shooter cap, a carabiner, reversible suspenders, and much more. A notable piece to join the capsule is a MA-1 bomber jacket with reversible sensibilities. It boasts black nylon materials on the outside and features chunky zippers down the middle for enclosure. Branding details make up the arm at the front and the back. The inside is lined with orange materials and the vibrant side can be worn as the exterior.
