Architectural Shadow. Tactical Comfort.
The Obsidian Padded J-Shorts represent a radical expansion of the LORD design language, merging high-density industrial denim with experimental soft-sculpture elements. This 1 of 1 piece from the Life After Death era explores the intersection of protection and exposure, utilizing a triple-black "Obsidian" palette to emphasize texture over color.
Multi-Dimensional Construction: The silhouette is defined by an aggressive, wide-leg cut that has been structurally modified with integrated obsidian padding. A high-density, quilted puffer panel is fused into the right lateral seam, creating a dramatic, asymmetric protrusion that alters the garment's natural drape and kinetic profile.
Technical Utility & Hardware:
- Dual Inseam Zips: Features exposed heavy-gauge silver zippers at the internal hem, allowing the wearer to adjust the flare and "vent" the architectural volume of the shorts.
- Distress Mapping: Hand-executed "ruptures" are strategically placed across the thighs, revealing a secondary layer of tonal reinforcement that mimics the "Life After Death" survival aesthetic.
Artisanal Finish: Every abrasion and "suture" on this 1 of 1 piece is hand-mapped to ensure a unique, non-linear wear pattern.
Composition: Heavyweight Obsidian Denim / Technical Puffer Insulation / Industrial Metal Hardware. Origin: Hand-finished in ATL. Fit: Exaggerated Wide-Leg / Architectural Crop. Care: Dry Clean Only.
