Market Week Recap: Our Legacy Fall/Winter 2015

None

Honestly, what is there to say about Our Legacy that has not already been said? OL has become a seminal menswear brand that must be mentioned in any discussion about the best brands of the moment. Our Swedish friends have come to symbolize a look now championed by a large portion of the menswear community, including the Four Pins collective. And yet, it's still daring enough to look outside itself for inspiration. We can talk all day about double zippers, neoprene accents and bombers as Our Legacy does some of its best work within todays trends, but it also starts and rides its own waves. Last season, we saw the brand incorporate odd textures and some embroidery and F/W 15, their 10th anniversary, sees even more of that. Logos and stripes are more often stitched on rather than screen printed and textures leap off the garments. Bombers in hefty, hand-washed canvas, fleecy popovers, beefy parkas, raw edge and fuzzy topcoats and hefty cow suede thicker and tougher than a leather jacket all stand out as highlights. The brand even beefed up its sneaker rotation with takes on the classic GAT and added even a Skechers Shape-Up meets Nike Huarache-like pair. But back to that whole 10 years strong thing, which is what the "TEN YEARS OF TEARS" signifies. Hopefully, they're happy ones because I sure as shit know I'm shedding tears of joy right now.
