NRML x LRG Letterman Jacket

 
With 2012 officially marking NRML's fifteenth anniversary, a series of collaborations with industry heavy-hitters have been released in celebration of this milestone.  Just in time for Christmas, the latest collaboration finds NRML partnering with one of the original brands of steetwear, ``the underground inventive, overground effective`` label from Southern Cal, The Lifted Research Group. Bonded by a shared passion to support the independent and underground culture, a collaboration which embraced classic design through innovative essence was created with this limited edition NRML x LRG Anniversary Letterman Jacket.  

The black wool shell features a script `L` logo patch on the left breast and an embroidered NRML logo on the right. A combination of iconic applique and embroidery is also found on the rear of the jacket. Snap button closures and a silk-like quilted lining keep the elements at bay, while a a ribbed mock collar and contrasting pinstriped cuffs accompany slit hand pockets. Limited to a production of only 50 units, the NRML x LRG Anniversary Letterman is available exclusively at NRML.

LRG has a long history of supporting upcoming and emerging talent, specifically the ones who are trying to "pay the rent with their passions." Enter Flight Distance, the dynamic capital city rap-duo featuring Bender and Patience, and backed by DJ Calkuta.  Whether it’s their ultra high-octane, riot of a live show or their cold and calculated recorded material, Flight Distance have long established themselves as heavyweights in the local hip-hop scene. The group formed in 2004, and independently released their first EP “The Warning Shot” and the LP, “Run For Your Lives!” in 2005. Since then they have shared the stage with the likes of; Ghostface, GZA, Masta Ace, Brother Ali, Dilated Peoples, Shad, Jedi Mind Tricks and many more. Their new album "Bad Information" was released this year and is now available on iTunes.
