I am unsure why this is called the “gulf” jacket. Gulf war? Persian gulf? Gulf of Mexico? Either way it’s a pretty badass looking jacket.
In addition to olive drab (pictured) it is also available in black from GIP-Store and Authorized dealers for ¥61,950 ($773 USD)
WTAPS AL-1 Flight Jacket
MIL-STD-10-31-2012
New for Fall/Winter 2012:
Source – Honeyee
I had not heard of the AL-1 Flight Jacket, so I googled it. Not much information on the internet about it, but from what I gather the original ones were made after WWII. It’s definitely and interesting design, but I really can’t stand bottom pockets you where can’t put your hands in at an angle.
Available at select WTAPS stockists for ¥74,550 ($933 USD).
WTAPS x Timex Military Watch Better Be Cheap
MIL-STD-10-24-2012
The result of a collab between WTAPS and Timex:
Yawn… all I can say is it better be cheap. Essentially they took the Timex Camper model watch (pictured right), and threw the word WTAPS on it.
The Timex Camper is going for $25 on Amazon, and something tells me that WTAPS logo is going to demand quite the premium.
UPDATE: The price will be ¥12,600 ($158 USD) *smh*
WTAPS Goes All Jungle Book Military With Camouflage Leopard
MIL-STD-10-21-2012
WTAPS latches onto one of natures best disruptive patterns:
via Honeyee.
Although leopard print is considered camouflage, I normally wouldn’t blog about it. In this case though it’s interesting because it’s applied to a military cut of shirt and pants. I wouldn’t buy it personally, but I believe the print is subtle enough to be wearable for most people.
Available at GIP-STORE – ¥23,100 ($291 USD) for the shirt, ¥35,700 ($450 USD) for the pants.
Go on.. get your Mowgli on.
WTAPS Gets Their Olive Drab On
MIL-STD-10-8-2012
Military inspired Japanese brand WTAPS for fall/winter 2012:
Pics via Honeyee.
Price at 25,200 ($320 USD) for the shirt, Pants 26,250 ($334 USD), and Hat ($94 USD).
The thing I like about WTAPS is the pieces are always quite subtle. They don’t normally use camouflage, and the branding is kept to a minimum.
You can check out the WTAPS website for more pictures and info. Warning, In true character of expensive clothing seem, the website isn’t particular useful.
