Fashion label maharishi introduces a new collaborative collection alongside British independent record brand XL Recordings. The joint capsule prepares for the Spring 2019 season and features three pieces in total -- a nylon crafted flight jacket, a tee made from organic cotton, and a utility vest.
The pieces are constructed from Italian crushed nylon materials and the captivating flight jacket is accented with reflective details delivered with metallic fibers to combat dimmed light conditions. The jacket also has a crinkling weave effect, which also delivers wind-proof elements alongside the water-repellent coat. The vest design is inspired by traditional MA-1 jackets and is also water-repellent as well as abrasion-resistant. It is made from lightweight flight nylon and boasts co-branding details through embroidery.
