SS14 “GODOG” Self-Titled Shirt
Undercover's SS14 revolved around lyrics + ethos from a few post punk/rock bands including Jesus and the Mary Chain and The Savages. The opening manifesto for the runway featured a small lyrical passage from The Savages: "The world used to be silent/Now it has too many voices/And the noises are constant distraction/They multiply, intensify." One of the key design elements for the women's collection was word play. Garments sported words such as "Insult/Sunlit" "Listen/Silent" "Noise/Thoughts" and the collection's title "God/Dog". Some of the wordplay was rather political while others were mildly intriguing with the remaining few being fun anagrams. 100% cotton Tee with graphic, undercover title at bottom and collection title slightly below that. 8/10 condition. Sz 2 Fits a small.$70$51 -
“Arts and Crafts” Monster Teeth 68 Denim
Undercover "Monster Teeth" 68 from 05 Arts and Crafts. Molded by the classic 68 design, highly sought after by collectors, UC enthusiasts and the like, is this pair of 68 that's in a white/salmon colour with metallic embroidery. The gold/silver embroidery used to detail the distressed areas glisten and reflect, bolding the customized accents. Above the signature UC lighting bolt is a green yarn with "teeth" over it resembling the motif Jun has used in the aw05 season for jewelry and graphics. These embellishments are unique to this jean which was unfortunately only released for women and never reissued making bigger sizes harder to find for men. The fabric is not a light ounce denim like other 68s, but made from a medium weight summer-poplin material. 8/10 condition. Size 3 and fits a 28-29.$515$404 -
FW09 “Earmuff Maniac” Scab Pants
Undercover FW09 "Earmuff Maniac" Scab Pants. FW09 was a strong season by Jun Takahashi comprised of gradients, heavy padded jackets, and a lot of warm reds and oranges. For the men's collection however Jun took another stab at his highly influential "scab" aesthetic. Takahashi's first Paris debut SS03 "Scab" roared throughout the fashion week with crude patchwork, ethnic trimmings and a lot of uncalculated embroidery. With the habit of revisiting many of his past collections, Scab takes the crown for the most revisits/reinterpretations and is sprinkled throughout men's collections. This is a reinterpretation of the nearly impossible to find "Scab" ethnic pant. Although the original is in a different league in terms of detail, design and craftsmanship these fw09 pairs updates the silhouette, mutes the colours and makes it more "digestible" for the wearer. Ethnic trimmings along the belt loops, elastic waist, knitted details, scab patches in mute colours. 8/10 condition. A small crotch tear on the backside has been mildly repaired. Size 2 fits 30-31.$650$510 -
SS06 Oversized Camo Bomber
Undercover SS06 Camo Bomber. SS06 is one of Undercover’s most beloved collections by collectors which featured 5 completely fabricated German progressive rock bands with their own records, graphics, back stage passes, concert wristbands, lyrics and ethos. Pieces from this collection were stitched up from band tees with patches and embroideries from said made-up bands. Zamiang title printed on back, undercover records printed on arm, "Crouh" album printed on front, Klaus graphic printed on shoulder. Bomber is rather loose and oversized at shoulder and arms, making it a great final layer centerpiece. 8.5/10 condition, distressing is part of design. Size 2 fits M-L$625 -
“But Beautiful” 60 Denim
Undercover "But Beautiful" 60 Denim. The highly sought after 68's little cousin, this pair is rife with light distresses, cuts and patches instead clumps of larger details. Crotch patch and circular patch in the back with contrast pink stitching. Patch on right front knee, blowouts and crudely sewed patches on left. Indigo washed denim, heavy fades around thighs and lightly around knee. Small fun fact: The numerical nomenclature for jeans, "85" "60" "78" "68", is actually adopted by undercover fans and isn't officially recognized by Undercover or Jun Takahashi. The names originated from the first two digits of their retail prices. The "85" however actually retailed for much more but for some reason is still referred to as the "85". 8/10 condition. Size 2 Fits 30-31.$285$250
