We find so much joy in seeing two brands that do good things for the world collaborating to make something special. For this limited collection Transnomadica reworked vintage blue chore jackets in four different styles exclusively for Proto. Transnomadica is the evolution of Maurizio Donadi’s vast collection of vintage denim, military and workwear which he curates into informative and inspiring gallery exhibitions and also reworks using both modern and traditional techniques to bring peace, love and fun to old pieces. Proto is an upstart footwear brand dedicated to finding a better path in the industry by focusing on equity, representation, fairness and sustainability through the entire value chain of what they do. Prices range from $280 – $320 depending on the style.
