LORD x Oakley "Conduit" Tactical Diplo Jacket

The CONDUIT Diplo Jacket is a precise execution of deconstructive luxury, forged from the core architecture of an iconic Oakley tactical backpack and high-ounce black denim. This 1 of 1 archival piece represents a complex structural fusion, redefining the binary of garment and apparatus.

The Hybrid Chassis: Using the signature 'Diplopia' asymmetric construction, the Oakley backpack structure serves as the literal frame. The technical, water-resistant nylon panels, integrated D-rings, and heavy-duty utility straps are grafted onto a distressed black denim base. This creates a kinetic architecture where the jacket maintains the literal utility of the pack, defining a new, aggressive silhouette.

The Functional Spine: The Conduit is not merely inspired by a pack but it is one. The entire rear chassis is engineered around the salvaged Oakley backpack's original zipper opening. This main, heavy-gauge zip remains fully functional, transforming the back panel into a operational, integrated storage compartment. This is a functional 'conduit' for the user's essential gear, accessible while worn.

Sleeve Engineering & Leather Accents: Both sleeves have been rebuilt with multiple, dedicated sleeve pockets and salvaged gear strapping, creating an armored 'brace' on the right arm and utility access on the left. Smooth, buttery Lambskin Leather is strategically 'sutured' into the front lateral panels, offering a sophisticated contrast of texture and allowing for refined movement within the rigid structure.

The Conduit is engineered for survival. It is the uniform of the urban navigator, a physical manifestation of adaptation and tactical utility that is worn, not carried.
