HISTORY
From General Research’s Autumn/Winter 1998 “Parasite” collection, this 37-pocket wool jacket exemplifies designer Setsumasa Kobayashi’s experimental approach to utilitywear. The Parasite series reimagined garments as equipment, prioritizing exaggerated functionality and modular detail. Produced in Japan, the collection became emblematic of late-1990s Tokyo streetwear’s intersection of technical design and military inspiration.
