If OAMC, the function-driven luxury label founded by current Jil Sander co-overseer and former Supreme mastermind Luke Meier, is known for anything, it's the Peacemaker jacket. It's a humble layering piece contrastingly rich in subtext, as philosophical as it is approachable.
Inspired by the design of the US military M-65 liner, OAMC’s Peacemaker Liner subverts its purpose by stitching ‘Peacemaker’ onto the back as an act of defiance against war and violence. It is made using a standard olive nylon ripstop fabric that has been overdyed to achieve a unique patina that is often only replicated through persistent wear. To accompany its release, OAMC enlisted the visual aid of artist Shaniqwa Jarvis to produce a series of distinct images.
For the Spring/Summer 2024 season, OAMC has revived the Peacemaker jacket in a variety of typically understated editions, perpetually reharnessing the design's potency by refusing to deviate from the winning formula established when the item appeared in OAMC's early collections.
