I would give you the play-by-play of my thoughts as I scrolled through this OAMC (who have officially shortened their name, much like everyone these days) lookbook, but because there are roughly ten thousand things bombarding my dome, I'll spare you. Shit would read like a spazzed out version of War and Peace with a lot less Russian. But seriously, there is so much going on here and, as a whole, it's sort of Tim Coppens with a slightly stricter dress code, which I guess is pretty much standard OAMC when you think about it. Check out the extended back hem puffer jacket that kicks things off, anoraks with a lace neck closure, a cinched waist fishtail shirt, the general glut of zippers and quilting, and the fleece jacket to end all fleece jackets, complete with diesel throat latch and buckle. There's some cool screen printing that features obscure, thought-provoking phrases and a huge ass blanket. While Coppens' gear feels like it's from 100 years in the future, OAMC skews closer to 25-50 years. It's futuristic, but not from the age of dystopian overlords. Thankfully, in the near future, we still have the free will to wear what we want, like fire outerwear. And when that won't do, an umbrella that reflects your brand preference will do just fine.
