A1 SS Tee

An exercise in layers and an exploration of duality, the A1 SS TEE is a t-shirt/tank top hybrid inspired by motocross armor and built with fireproof fabrics. The short-sleeved box-bodied Nomex mesh t-shirt features a tonal screenprint of an Alpinestars A-1 Chest Protector—a favorite of professional MX athletes. A semi-opaque tank top (also constructed from Nomex mesh) is layered over the t-shirt, implying hidden strength, layered complexity, and an underlying juxtaposition of durability and vulnerability. The layering also alludes to an X-ray image as well, further referencing the journey to recovery theme of this collection.
