[Otto Resource](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otto-studio) ℅ Adam Barnard is a Berlin-based “digital product archive and research facility.” The label has announced a new collaboration with RANRA and RGT Italia for a ‘Two-Piece Uniform’ made from [Ventile](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grounder-slipon) ripstop and [DWR](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wave-house-1) coating. The set is inspired by military and uniform apparel, adopting the aesthetics of the Eisenhower jacket and Otto’s ‘Redefining Archetypes’ manifesto for the coat. The pants opt for a traditional chino-style look, complete with military-style zippers and adjustable straps.

Adam Barnard, Founder of Otto Resource, describes the collaboration as “a well-dyed product with a unique vintage finish, and a full retention of the fabric’s water repellency. [Otto Resource] consider[s] this a near-perfect solution for innovative and functional garments, with the possibility to be used by all interested brands!”
