HISTORY
From Autumn/Winter 1998, General Research’s Parasite series expanded the brand’s radical take on functional clothing under designer Setsumasa Kobayashi. The 74-pocket cargo jacket exemplifies the Parasite ethos, transforming the jacket into a modular storage system that blurs the line between garment and equipment. This design was part of the late-1990s wave of conceptual utilitarianism in Japanese streetwear, positioning General Research alongside brands like Final Home and Undercover in rethinking clothing as survivalist architecture.
