London-based streetwear imprint Hillside works in collaboration with local artist and designers Soldier to create a collaborative co-ord set dubbed the Soldier Militia. It fuses elements from both contributing efforts highlighting the technicalities by Hillside and bright camouflage prints true to Solider. The collaborative new look is a co-ord set that is entirely detailed with the camouflage pattern.
At the top is a full-length zipped jacket complete with a pullover hood. The base is entirely detailed in a blend of orange, beige, purple, and brown tones throughout the silhouette. Additional details of the jacket include the blacked-out zipper and a small storage pocket on the chest. The matching trousers are detailed with the same zipper and rounded out by custom co-branding on the knee.
