Jungle Fatigues

October 3, 2021 By In Uncategorized No Comments

From Spring 1986 through Fall 1988, the Jungle Fatigues came in a variety of colors. From the catalogue: “When exploring equatorial regions, one needs to keep vital things close at hand while keeping crawling things far from foot. Ergo our Jungle Fatigues, equipped with huge bellows pockets on the thighs and drawstrings on the ankles. Cut for a comfortable fit from broken-in Expedition Cloth, so they’re equally well-suited for fatigue duty in the urban jungle.”

Robyn Adams
Robyn’s fascination with Banana Republic began in 1984 when her Alaskan adventurer father began buying their clothing and giving her their catalogs. She loved the clothes, and as an artist, she was drawn to the illustrations. Robyn went on to study illustration at an art college in Banana Republic’s hometown of San Francisco, CA, and she worked for years as a background artist for animation. She is now based in Oakland, CA and works as a graphic designer and illustrator. She has been collecting and archiving at Abandoned Republic since 2011.
