AH_f104ff5d-e3a5-11ef-9bcb-00155dcd4802If we're creating apparel inspired by the 40th Tactical Aviation Brigade, it must be authentic, aviation-themed, made from genuine flight nylon, and feature distinct identity elements. We never take the easy route, especially when it comes to cuts, so we've reimagined standards and created a purely feminine bomber jacket that gives you the sensation of flight both physically and visually. Understated yet striking patch pockets in front, hidden elastic bands on the sleeves and waist, plus two massive wings. And that's just the cut. On the front pocket, there's a printed aviation roundel with the phrase "Live To Fly. Fly To Live." Just above it – the brigade's coordinates. On the back – a massive embroidered trident-bird. And on the sleeves – a scattering of airplanes.
AH_4c2bc667-b6f8-11ef-9bcb-00155dcd4802Where calm dances with chaos, madness goes on a date with minimalism, and clamor and coziness take a leisurely stroll hand in hand – that's exactly how our new sweatshirt “Celebration” feels!
We manifest the simple Carpathian happiness with the beats of the legendary festival hit by Perkalaba, so that your life feels like a Mushrooms and Trout Festival!
It features a high collar and a raglan cut. Up front, you’ll find embroidery of mushrooms and fish, while the back boasts the printed Beautiful Carpaty logo. On the roomy sleeves, we’ve incorporated the lyrics of Perkalaba’s song “Mushrooms and Trout Festival”:Speck, stripe, and little whisker,Cone, mouse, and a tiny mister,Bowl, spoon, and fork in tune,A hearty soup, a fish, a mussel soon,Horses, hooks, and charming dames,Feta, chives, and sledding games,A cross, a mug, a little shell,A twister, clogs, a fabled tale to tell,A balloon, a ball, and streams that flow,Doors and windows, a wink’s soft glow,Sipped some vodka, wooed a girl so fine,Cherishing every hill for all time,A furnace, horses, cows in line,So that health may flourish and brightly shine,A pint of beer, dry fish, white and blue,Good mushrooms too, to keep life true,A chin, a whisker, a sketch, a quip,Flashing lights, good vibes on a trip,Braids, pins, and ants at play,Bob cooks a hearty porridge today,A bang, a splash, a drumbeat’s cheer,Leapt in a puddle – the festival is here,It’s the Mushrooms and Trout Festival!Embrace the Carpathian spirit with style and let every day feel like a celebration!
AH_1ddebf80-870f-11ef-9bca-00155dcd4802HUNTER says the story behind his helmet began with a simple patch of a Cossack image that happened to catch his eye. He liked the look with the moustache and oseledets so much that the 12th Brigade pilot decided to make his own helmet in a similar style. He decided to paint only on the protective mask, which seems to be designed to look like a Cossack moustache, and picked a few spots on the helmet for the same patch and national symbols. He borrowed the idea of decorating the helmet with themed patches from American pilots, where it has long been one of the established traditions.
AH_e88f1bdf-870e-11ef-9bca-00155dcd4802The character depicted on the helmet was created by an art teacher and Army Aviation pilot with the call sign Qnesko. The main highlight of the helmet is its yellow-blue eyes and razor-sharp teeth. As the pilot himself claims, the image comes to life as soon as someone encroaches on Ukraine.
On one side of the helmet is the pilot’s call sign, and on the other is the inscription DEATH ON CALL, and behind it, there is some space for a patch.
AH_0963c934-870f-11ef-9bca-00155dcd4802One glance at the helmet of the pilot with the call sign BUBI is enough to understand where he comes from. The symbol of the 12th Army Aviation Brigade is the dragon, so as soon as the young pilot joined the service in Novyi Kalyniv, the issue of a helmet print was out of the question. And since the pilot, as he claims, does not look his age, he added a small dragon on the side and near the call sign. Next to it, there is the inscription ‘Fidelis et fortis’, which in Latin means ‘Faithful and brave’.
AH_d7ccd5cc-caae-11ef-9bcb-00155dcd4802За старою доброю традицією, які тільки на обрії москви з'являються французи, вона горить сама собою - доведено Наполеоном. Ми створили футболку про французький винищувач Mirage 2000 ще до того, як в радіообмінах наших пілотів зазвучало палке французьке Bonjour для окупантів, бо ті, хто з нами давно, знають, настільки блискавично зображення з нашого одягу матеріалізується в реальну техніку. Ото й зараз файно встигли, би вам було в чому зустрічати французьких пташок в українському небі!
AH_f9c589d0-870e-11ef-9bca-00155dcd4802If Dumbledore had seen the helmet of the 12th Brigade pilot with the call sign BIN, he would have been completely freaked out. Because only someone truly brave could combine a cigar, Harry Potter, and a swear word in one image. BIN says that his helmet was painted by a girl from Novyi Kalyniv, the young pilot’s wife. The pilot picked the image for the mask from a US pilot, but added a golden tooth in his own variation. The main highlights are the messages in Latin (with a boisterous touch). On the back to the right, there is the inscription ‘Fortes fortuna adiuvat’, which means ‘Fate helps the brave’. On the front, there is the legendary killing spell ‘Avada Kedavra’ from Harry Potter, and BIN added the word KURWA to make sure.
AH_ec946c2c-c43c-11ef-9bcb-00155dcd4802Reliable ripstop tactical cargo pants with a dozen pockets. Isn’t this a treasure for every day? They are made of heavy-duty rip-stop fabric (50% cotton, 50% nylon), which allows them to be very durable, but at the same time breathable and pleasant to the touch. They have six pockets on the back and four on the front. The pants are fixed on any waist with a convenient velcro. On both sides there are sewn-in straps that serve as both a decor and an additional element of reinforcement. We created these hard-wearing and reliable pants being inspired by the power of the PATRIOT missile system, so the prints are on point.
AH_df8ec6fb-bd6d-11ef-9bcb-00155dcd4802The freer your hands, the freer your head! We created a sleeveless jacket so that you don’t have to wonder where your keys, glasses, wallet, tablet, gum, hand cream, lip gloss and other stuff are anymore. Now you can find room for every important thing in one of the 14 (!) pockets! There are compact velcro pockets on the top left and right. At the bottom, there are 5 pockets on each side: three with fasteners, one with velcro and one without fasteners to keep your hands warm. Another small pocket is hidden inside, and a huge one is placed on the back, sewn to make it convenient to rummage through with both hands. It is made of a pleasant to the touch and reliable fabric, so that every movement is filled with confidence and comfort.
AH_502789fa-bd6e-11ef-9bcb-00155dcd4802We have created a warm oversized hoodie about the work of FPV drone operators – defenders and innovators who were the first in the world to massively use the ‘joystick toy’ on the battlefield. The chest has original patches with extraordinary variations on the FPV theme. On the back of the hoodie, there is a large print featuring drones and an operator.The hoodie has two spacious pockets without fasteners, where it will be convenient to keep your hands warm even in the bitter cold. And for all the necessary little belongings, we have created massive patch pockets on the sleeves: on the right one there is a side pocket with velcro, which will fit glasses perfectly without the risk of crushing them, and on the left one there is a double pocket, next to which we added some space for a carbine hook.
AH_a47b5ad0-b93a-11ef-9bcb-00155dcd4802When we tell our descendants about the war in years to come, it is unlikely that they will understand the joking phrase ‘we believed in them so much that we went to bed in our pyjamas’. At such a moment, it would be a good idea to pull out an old Air Defence T-shirt from the closet, gather a crowd of kids around you, and, like with an old photo album, tell them about the role of Air Defence in those years, what the Air Defence Mobile Fire Groups did, and what the print with the rows of air targets on the back means. This T-shirt is a part of our history that is being written right now. On the front, we depicted enemy ‘shaheds’ and the vehicle of Air Defence Mobile Fire Groups against the background of a realistic radar, which has a phosphorous coating and glows at night. Next to it, there are lullaby lines: «Спи, маленький, баю-бай. Всіх баранчиків спіймай» (‘Sleep, little one, rock-a-bye. Catch all the little lambs’).
AH_2442fbfe-b228-11ef-9bcb-00155dcd4802FPV-дрони стали справжньою зброєю майбутнього, і саме українці першими показали світові їхній потенціал. Наші «пташки» коригують вогонь, доставляють боєприпаси, знищують ворожу техніку, а деякі винаходи роблять непереливки ворогам навіть у морі. Ми створили атмосферний світшот про головних «помічників» наших військових, в якому поєднали комфортний крій та дещо незвичні для нас декоративні рішення. Світшот має нестандартні рукави-реглани для більшого комфорту рухів. Спереду має великий принт із FPV-дронами, надрукований на плащовій тканині, а також «подряпану» горловину та низ, що додає характеру і відсилає до загальної тематики.
