Our Legacy x External Vacancy: an expedition to British Columbia

Our Legacy Work Shop and External Vacancy (EVAC) have teamed up to create a collection on the occasion of an expedition and art project in the mountains of British Columbia. Born from the textile remnants of Our Legacy, this collection embodies the spirit of adventure and respect for nature.

Drawing inspiration from the rugged landscapes and harsh conditions of the British Columbia mountains, durable technical fabrics were meticulously selected to create garments that skillfully blend workwear functionality with high-performance attributes. The result is a hybrid collection that navigates between practicality and style, ensuring it stands up to extreme environments.

“This journey began with the vision of a high-altitude utopia. Collaborating with like-minded artists, we embarked on a mission to build a fortress-like space on a mountaintop in British Columbia over a period of 4 months. The construction was dictated by the environment, where rocks were our only companions. Dry stacking was employed to integrate our space seamlessly with its surroundings. It was a true test of physical and mental endurance, immersing us in the beauty and brutality of nature. The structure was conceived as a sanctuary where we could fully immerse ourselves in the present moment, living in harmony with nature for our survival,” shares Sean Pettit, founder of EVAC.

External Vacancy is a multidisciplinary initiative focused on expanding our interactions with the environment to develop products, artwork and experiences. This collaboration underscores the ethos of innovation and sustainability championed by both brands. The capsule includes a chiseled hoodie, a Flint jacket and two Quartz Cargo styles in earth tones and greens.

The Our Legacy x External Vacancy collection will be available from March 27 at WWW.OURLEGACY.COM, as well as WORK SHOP Stockholm, OUR LEGACY London and Berlin.
