Mountain Research is more than just anarchy
Since Mountain Research focuses on producing small limited series, they need to have a close and familiar relationship with the manufacturer. There's only a limited number of manufacturers that manage to pull together the unique vision of Mountain Research clothing and maintain the quality and utility the brand represents.
Kobayashi Setsumasa definitely wants people to see the brand as a deep-thinking yet anarchist, not necessarily just technical or lightweight. The brand has been built on the idea of creating outdoor clothing for a saunterer, bikers, protesters, someone who is not afraid to step outside the box!
Mountain Research is a huge influencer when it comes to nontraditional clothing and is giving us a valuable lesson on how to embrace changing your style. They are making outdoor clothing both practical and eventful at the same time, without compromising your personal style and taste.
