Clothing With Extreme Pockets Trend Continues
"On average, we touch around 600 objects a day," Karim Rashid told us ID students, decades ago, at Pratt. (He still cites the stat in interviews .) What's strange is that today, we seem to be carrying many of those objects around with us. Last year we looked at Storm Labs' Storm Jacket , which had an absurd 18 pockets: The approach had precedent: A year earlier, a company called Minimal Organised Wear (MOW) released this Isola jacket. It has 20 pockets and was Kickstarted to the tune of $330,919. Now MOW is back with the Nomade 58 , a waterproof zip-up hoodie with 58 different "features." The $117 Nomade 58 has also been successfully Kickstarted, with 24 days left to pledge at press time. Given our current product landscape, we expect this trend—where people walk around carrying more gear than a paratrooper preparing for a mission—to continue. It's kind of weird, if you think about it. Cargo pants came from the military. Now the civilian sector is creating clothing with way more pockets than what guys who jumped into Normandy had.
