Wait, what the fuck is that name? If that's the first thought you had when reading this headline, well, you're not alone. When we saw the name "Grunge John Orchestra Explosion" in our handy Capsule guidebook we thought this brand would be a ridiculous Jeremy Scott x Opening Ceremony diaper line, but we were pleasantly surprised to find a brand from Russia (might explain that name) making their first American appearance, as well as the wildest and most diesel outerwear we've ever seen. These are essentially your favorite winter coats on steroids, boasting woven, enzyme-washed, garment-dyed, water repellent fabric (similar to Stone Island, CP Company and Ten C), wire frame hoods, elongated silhouettes, full-on down-filled removable liners, and all the fucking feeeexins like wolf, coyote and raccoon fur hoods. Some of the coats were totally insane, but the more understated (relatively speaking, of course, since all of these are INTENSE) styles were truly amazing. If you've ever wanted to stunt on them polar vortexes, then Grunge Joe Orchestra Explosion is your new favorite brand.
