Adidas SLVR Pocket Bomber Jacket- A Modern Classic

Red may be the new "in" color for this season, but Adidas SLVR makes it fresh.

What:
Adidas SLVR Pocket Bomber Jacket in Red

Why:
One thing I like about the Adidas SLVR line is their ability to take a classic piece and update it with a sleeker line or a modern fabric without stealing away its intrinsic simplicity. One category I find they excel in is outwear. And this latest take on the classic bomber is a perfect example.

The best part in my opinion is how Adidas added the 2 flap pockets on the back. a real winning feature and juuuust enough to change up a classic like a bomber jacket.

 

The Nylon ripstop material is perfect for Spring, but also a great way to layer up while the weather is still cold. SLVR does a great job keeping stitching and seams clean too.

  

The trademark SLVR "dash" is applied to the yolk area below the collar in a contrasting black nylon patch and is a nice touch.

How (much): $148.00

All-American Style at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

Ralph Lauren is not the only one covering Team USA's athletes. Sure, RL made his mark early in these games with the on-point American ensemble for the United States' Opening Ceremony gear (and subsequent high snobiety bitchiness that ensued), but there are a whole load of other styles that Team U.S.A. wears throughout these games and we should not forget about.

Check out the pics below for some of the gear our Olympians are wearing throughout these games (note- Ralph ain't the only label covering our athletes). Starting with my first love- ice hockey- the boys in "old-school" Red, White and Blue are lookin' good. (Think an updated "Miracle" fellas!)

 Hannah Kearney earned gold in Women's Moguls and looked good in her Nike faded puffer. Made from recycled material, each puffer is uniquely faded. 

In the Olympic Village, USA athletes will be wearing this recycled Warm-Up Jacket with the contrast stripe and 2010 USA Olympic Team logo. Made of recycled polyester fabric.
