Made from 100% premium cotton, the new visvim jacket is said to have gone through a rigorous washing process so that it could achieve its faded appearance, which allows bits of white to peep through the dark gray colorway. On the front of the jacket, a total of [four pockets are featured](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/journal-standard-relume), which have large flaps covering them to maintain the military-inspired aesthetic. The garment is finished off with a silver zipper that has a little rust detailing it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Retro Military-inspired Aesthetic:** Explore opportunities to incorporate vintage military elements in designs to appeal to nostalgic consumers. - **Rugged-looking Wash:** Develop innovative washing techniques to achieve a worn and distressed appearance in garments. - **Imperfect Graphic Additions:** Experiment with hand-painted graphics to add a unique and artisanal touch to clothing designs. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Collaborate with fashion brands to create military-inspired collections that cater to the nostalgia trend in the market. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Develop specialized washing processes to create custom distressed effects on fabrics for various applications such as apparel and home textiles. - **Art and Design:** Offer hand-painted graphic services to fashion brands and individuals looking for unique and personalized design elements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Militant Springtime Jacket Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/relwen-sailcloth-tanker-jacket.md) - [Updated Military Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/l2b-flight-jacket.md) - [Reinforced Japanese-Inspired Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vollebak-sashiko-chore-jacket.md) - [Militant Suede Bomber Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taylor-stitch-army-suede-bomber-jacket.md) - [Heritage-Inspired Two-Layer Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/relwen-combat-2in1-jacket.md) - [Utility Field Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/journal-standard-relume.md) - [Refined Vintage Militaristic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25.md) - [Retro Mechanic Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greaser-garage-jacket.md) - [Street Utility Rugged Styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-violet-collection.md)
