Olive Green Scouting Badge Jacquard Shirt Shorts Ensemble

2010s · 2010s · British

A two-piece ensemble consisting of an oversized short-sleeved shirt and matching shorts, both constructed from jacquard-woven fabric featuring an all-over print of Boy Scout merit badges and patches. The shirt has a boxy, oversized silhouette with a standard collar and button-front closure. The shorts appear to be mid-thigh length with an elastic or drawstring waist. The fabric design incorporates dozens of authentic-looking scouting badges in various shapes - circular, square, and diamond - rendered in muted earth tones against a darker ground. This piece exemplifies the Normcore movement's appropriation of mundane, everyday references transformed into high-fashion statements through unexpected material treatments and oversized proportions.
