—02. Quilted ripstop lining.

Words

I’ve always liked the utilitarian nature of helmet bags, especially the updated versions produced by Porter. This one, recently received by The Bureau, is especially nice, incorporating an MA-1-referencing olive and rescue orange colour combination. The exterior is made from military grade nylon, built to stand up to the rigours of daily use, and features an interesting variance in tone between body and pockets.

Fashion products that have a shiny black finish as well as matte black hardware rarely fail to have a futuristic look, and this pack is no exception. On top of its Akira concept art aesthetic, it also sports some of Porter's most durable fabric, which make it even more appealing, and even more practical.

Jun Takahashi’s Undercover label steadily produces some highly technical but still incredibly straightforward and usable designs for daily life. This collaboration with Porter Yoshida & Co. is one of the most attractive and functional tote bags I have come across.
