An assortment of A&F Vintage Bottoms inspired by WWII soldier's "Trench art" found on a variety of products including pocket knives, journals, bomber jackets, and military aircraft.
Military influences were always an integral part of the design process when creating a line for A&F as it was essential to create tension with the overall preppy overtones. The webbed belt accessory was also inspired by military issue pieces.
