Yes! I have a small clothing brand and just got swatches from the artist who naturally dyes my pieces. One swatch was an awesome purple dyed with cochineal, it reminded me of retro backpacking gear purple. I was initially on the fence, but it has grown on me and after reading this piece, I'm convinced! Purple merino jawns coming soon!

Last year I walked into Blue Owl to check out a pair of OrSlow's fatigue pants in black stone that actually gave deep purple tones IRL. Wouldn't have guessed from the images online — another reason to Cop IRL Only.

I'd been struggling to get them to sync up with the rest of my wardrobe for a while until I started throwing browns in the mix and they've become my favorite pants. This article opened my eyes to the colorful possibilities, and I've been emboldened to get freaky with the fits.

Willem DaGod's presence is a subtle reminder that this lewk carries risk of Jokercore if heavyhanded

hahah yes let's be judicious with these yurps -- even at their subtlest / earthiest / dustiest, a little tends to go a long way

You had me at LOAMY RAISINS

But yah, purple is SO underrated. I have a gorgeous deep purple duster that I found last year at hmmm, Nordstroms? I grabbed that baby so fast the hanger sizzled. Goes with everything, colorwise.

Expecting a lot of brown too as I’ve noticed a lot of guys mix up purple and brown at no fault of their own (that y chromosome’s color-blindness be like that sometimes)

dark purples go extremely well with browns, as discussed in the sletter, but hadn't considered the colorblindness angle !

Love it! What size do you have on, please? I'm assuming it's a very roomy fit?

My Our Legacy shirt is a 36. Yes, it's really roomy but I love the way the sleeve and back balloon out -- there's a really nice curve to the cut. And when I want to rein in the volume I tuck it in or layer it, like I did in that pic

deep/dusty yurps + earth tones and/or blacks is such a great combo, been loving those pairings all fall and see no signs of slowing down. Glad to get the spyplane seal of approval. Scored a lightly used example of this killer 2019 arc colorway for a steal this fall, skiing kit reaching new heights this season: https://bumps.com.au/arcteryx-ms-rush-jacket-phantom-king.html
