# Militaristic Urban Bag Capsules PORTER's Flying Ace Collection Nods to the US Air Force By Amy Duong | Published 2020-03-11 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-ace References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2020/3/porter-unveils-military-grade-flying-ace-bag-capsule) [PORTER](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comme-des-garons-and-porter) introduces a collection of bags entitled 'Flying Ace' and it is full of functional designs in a [minimal militaristic manner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/l2b-flight-jacket). The designs reference the US Air Force, specifically its Type K-2A boiler suit that is from the early 50s spotlighted by components such as its durable fabrication and functional accents. The color palette is true to the theme, with olive green and black as the main hues at the [TANKER](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porter-tanker) silhouette. This is a notable item as the TANKER backpack mimics the exact color of military tarps. It is detailed with silver tonal zippers that can be found at the top and the front pockets, the bottom corner button enclosures, and the suede patch woven on the front pouch.
