Outdoor apparel label Early Majority has launched its first-ever collection, which comes in the form of a nine-piece "technical system" consisting of gender-neutral, functional garments suited to active, professional, and social endeavors.
The pieces include unique elements such as snorkel hoodies, reflective branding, built-in backpacks, and magnets for additional attachments. Moreover, the collection utilizes specialty high-tech materials and fabrics, including PERTEX Quantum, recycled ripstop, goat leather, and, in some modular pieces, denim.
According to Early Majority's founder Joy Howard, the debut collection intends to deliver "technical outerwear for all eventualities and all genders." This unique genderless approach to outerwear is also reinstated by the brand's membership model and release programme, which provides the practical tools and resources needed to help people "Lean Out" by making "time for activity, time for activism, time for creativity."
