Recently, my colleague Rachelle Schrute at GearJunkie expertly summed up the recent fashionista trends that have adopted outdoor aesthetics—Anglercore, as she called it—in that she rolled her eyes at it so hard, she may have strained a muscle. I, too, share the feelings, as you look out onto the world and see folks who've never hunted, fished, hiked, or even so much as turned a wrench wear fly fishing, hunting, and work-spec gear.
Think how many Carhartt jackets you've seen lately with folks also wearing $1,000 sneakers, or even Alpinestars' work with Balenciaga, and you'll get where I'm coming from. Cool, you like our aesthetic, but how about you start doing the thing instead of just cosplaying?
And yet, here we are, talking about how another major outdoor-themed collaboration is hitting the streets, as Harley-Davidson and hunting powerhouse Realtree have dropped a collection of camouflage gear you can't actually use on your hog. At least, not unless you want to pretend the cold, hard pavement won't see you when you inevitably fall off and shred your skin.
