When it comes to vintage clothing, there are a variety of items such as American casual wear, Euro vintage, and designer brands of yesteryear. In other words, military items. No matter how much a brand tries to resemble a military item, there is no substitute for the real thing.
In this issue, the Huinamu editorial team has published the "FNAM'SMilitary items have been selected from the "military" section of the website. However, they are not khaki items. Khaki is a strong image color for military items, but we hope that those who think that second-hand khaki military items are a bit too strong will check out our selection.
The first is a gray T-shirt with a striking back print and the classic "ARMY" logo front print, both reflective. The trendy big T, which the store has resized, allows you to enjoy a silhouette that is appropriate for the modern era. The soft, lightweight polyester fabric is appropriate for the summer season, so try it out this summer when the heat is still on. Of course, you can also wear it all season long!
This is a military bandana from the 90s, printed with the words ARMY, AIR FORCE, NAVY, and MARINES, and colored in pops of light blue and red on a white base. It could be used as an accent by attaching it to the handle of a tote bag, for example, or for interior decoration.
This is a pure white 1940s deadstock parka from the U.S. Navy that was used during the raising of stranded ships. Because of this use, it is quite rare to find one in dead stock. It has a simple design, but the two large diagonal pockets, hood, and drawcords on the neck and cuffs make it a unique item. The military-like cotton material is also a key point.
This is a U.S. Army scarf of unknown age, probably made of silk. It is a silkscreen print of U.S. infantrymen and the U.S. flag. The illustration, which has a sense of detachment that is rare for military items, is full of a mysterious charm that makes you want to hold it in your hand and look at it. It is a large size (82 x 78), so I personally recommend using it as an interior decoration. A space decorated with this scarf is sure to create a warm and cozy atmosphere!
Slogan T-shirt about NATO intervention in Kosovo in 1999. On the front is "NATO AIR JUST DO IT", a play on the famous catchphrase. On the back is Father Simpson with a gun and the words KFOR( Kosovo Security Forces ) and PRIZREN( Kosovo City ). The material is 100% cotton with a soft texture. This is one of everyone's favorite parody T-shirts with a bit of a message.
Khaki is useful because it is basic, and above all, it is a special color with a military feel. But sometimes, try to break away from the high street and incorporate kitschy, colorful military pieces or all-white, and enjoy military items more freely.
