Avirex Officer’s O-Coat (1987) — Reconstructed

Patiently rebuilt by hand from an authentic Avirex Officer’s O-Coat, originally produced in 1987. The garment’s original military character is preserved and recontextualized through deliberate reconstruction.

Original Avirex labels and specification markings remain intact. A fully functional 1980s Avirex backpack is integrated directly into the back of the jacket, stitched by hand and retained in working condition with original hardware. Throughout the jacket and backpack, fragments of archival Avirex maps—documenting WWII escape routes through Germany—are embedded as material reference rather than decoration.

Constructed by hand, with time treated as the primary value rather than a limitation. Every decision reflects patience, restraint, and continuity. The result is not a reproduction, but a fixed moment of process—unrepeatable by design.
