# Punk-Inspired Bomber Jackets The 'A Cut Above' 2013 Winter Collection Fuses Materials By Thomas Wade-West | Published 2013-11-03 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-cut-above References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2013/9/a-cut-above-2013-winter-lookbook) Street wear label ‘A Cut Above’ has recently revealed its 2013 Winter Collection. Blending a mix of leather, wool, and cotton pieces, these garments combine functionality with modern streetwear style. A Cut Above continues its previous streetwear ‘punk inspired’ themes with a collection of classic styles alongside newer modern fits. Pieces seem to be inspired by HBA-esque cuts with some different twists. Some of these pieces include leather jackets, sleeveless vests, wool bombers, sweaters and oversized hoodies. The general theme of the collection infuses darker cottons with leathers to main a punk vibe, with certain graphics that appeal to street culture. Its pieces are hand-screened in its workshop to maintain utmost quality. Each of these pieces can be purchased on the A Cut Above website or the Hypebeast web store. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Mix-material Garments:** Opportunity to blend different fabric textures and create unique designs that merge functionality with modern streetwear style. - **Punk-inspired Fashion:** Opportunity to bring a unique twist to classic styles inspired by punk subcultures and street culture. - **Hand-screened Clothing:** Opportunity to produce artisanal clothing that maintains the utmost quality and uniqueness through hand-screening techniques. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Designers and clothing manufacturers can explore punk-inspired styles and mix-material designs to create unique and functional pieces that appeal to streetwear culture. - **Screen Printing:** Opportunity to offer hand-screening services for clothing manufacturers and designers to produce high-quality and unique garments using this artisanal technique. - **Online Retail:** Online retailers can showcase and sell punk-inspired, mix-material garments and offer a unique shopping experience for customers looking for streetwear styles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Utility Street Fashion Capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clot-x-neighborhood.md) - [Utility Tokyo Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackeyepatch-winter.md) - [Outerwear-Centric Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bene-culture-3.md) - [Urban Alpine Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-by-kazuki-kuraishi.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Winter-Ready Dynamic Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corteiz-6.md) - [Fall-Ready Timeless Aviator Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aviator-jacket-1.md) - [Fall-Centric Dynamic Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/undercover-5.md) - [Street Utility Rugged Styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-violet-collection.md)
