VDR_SYSTEM_09 ✧ Shadow Jacket

Black. Oversized. Built to read as two pieces when it's one.

The Shadow Jacket runs a cotton shell over a polyester lining — enough structure to hold its shape through a full day, enough give to move without fighting you. The silhouette drops long with an asymmetric hem that creates a layered illusion at the bottom: a second layer that isn't there, but reads like it is. Raw exposed seam edges at the hood and hem aren't distressing for effect — they're a construction choice that most production jackets finish away. This one doesn't.

Multiple cargo-style patch pockets sit across the front alongside dual zip closures. The hood sits high with the same raw-edge finish. It layers over a hoodie for a late-night transit fit or drops over wide-leg cargo pants when the silhouette needs weight at the top. At $283.25 USD, it's priced against the mid-tier of independent techwear — not fast fashion, not archive-level. A jacket that holds its shape and its read across seasons.

Available in Black, sizes M–XL.

FAQ

Does the VDR_SYSTEM_09 run true to size or should I size up?
It's cut oversized by design. If you want a more controlled silhouette, size down one. Available in M, L, and XL.

What's the jacket actually made of?
Cotton shell, polyester lining. The raw exposed seam edges at the hood and hem are a construction choice — not wear, not damage.

How is this different from a standard safari or cargo jacket?
Most production safari jackets finish the hem clean and run a single-layer silhouette. The VDR_SYSTEM_09 uses an asymmetric layered hem that reads as two pieces without the bulk, and keeps the raw seam edges that standard production removes.

What works under or over this jacket?
The oversized cut clears a hoodie underneath without pulling. Pairs with wide-leg or tapered cargo pants — the long hem drop needs volume or a clean taper below it to land right.

Can I machine wash it?
Cold wash, gentle cycle, inside out. Do not tumble dry — hang or lay flat. The raw seam edges will fray further with heat.
