NUMBER (N)INE AW08 “MY OWN PRIVATE PORTLAND” VARSITY JACKET

Takahiro Miyashita’s AW08 “My Own Private Portland,” one of the most loved collections Number (N)ine ever made, inspired by the grunge-era Pacific Northwest that Kurt Cobain came out of. A red wool body with cream leather sleeves and a striped knit collar, from a season mostly in muted workwear tones, and the same jacket Nettspend has been spotted in. This is an original AW08 piece, not a reissue, from the era before Miyashita left the label after AW09. Archive Number (N)ine at its best.
