Gundam's official fashion brand, STRICT-G, has consistently teamed up with major Japanese and American brands to drop a variety of apparel, earning a loyal following among Gundam fans.
Today (June 5), they announced an epic collaboration with the venerable military wear brand SPIEWAK. Drawing inspiration from the protagonists of this year's latest anime series, "Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX"—Matchau (Yoha Amate) & Shuji Ito—they're unleashing two distinct "L-2 Flight Jackets." Priced at 44,000 JPY each, these jackets are available for pre-order starting today on the Bandai Premium Japan website and STRICT-G's official site.
Hailing from New York, USA, the century-old military workwear brand SPIEWAK, founded in 1904, first made its name crafting jackets for police, firefighters, and the military. Renowned for its durable, practical, and classic American military style, it's been a long-standing partner for numerous U.S. government agencies. SPIEWAK's designs seamlessly blend traditional craftsmanship with modern functionality, offering a military aesthetic that's also fashion-forward, making them a go-to for collaborations with many trendy brands and IPs.
This collaboration features the lightweight "L-2 Flight Jacket," originally designed for pilots in the late 1940s. As the successor to the B-15 series, the L-2 is crafted from nylon with a thin padded or wool lining. Its design emphasizes mobility and breathability, making it perfect for spring/summer wear or warmer combat environments.
The Matchau (Yoha Amate) and Shuji Ito versions each boast distinct features: reversible wear and a hooded design, respectively. Both are instantly recognizable with STRICT-G's signature character patch designs.
