A Defender

The D001 is our interpretation of the 1st pattern Vietnam War Jungle Jacket made for the battalions.

Fused with French Industrial Workwear from the late 1800's.

We have retained it's utilitarian nature, keeping the jacket unlined and the iconic shape of the front pockets, collar and cuffs.

Weapons X 51

Each product in the collection has been carefully carved around selected ancient Indian Weapon Systems, used by our forefathers at different points of time.

Aruval is a curved bladed hacksaw system originally known to be used in the Deccan Empire. 

Waghnakh, similarly, translating to fist load claw like, was initially used in the Maratha empire by Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj. 

Taking inspiration from the ferocity, pace, and the unassuming nature of the weapon, we devised pieces crafted to have you showing up at every occasion looking sharp to fight the good fights.
