A statement piece rooted in protest, culture, and the enduring belief that style can carry meaning.

The Love Not War Button Up – Olive draws inspiration from historic anti-war movements, reinterpreting vintage protest imagery through modern streetwear design. Crafted from durable olive military-style canvas, the shirt blends utilitarian structure with expressive artwork and mixed textile paneling.

Handwritten protest messaging appears throughout the garment, including phrases like “Peace Not War,” “War Is Not the Answer,” and “No Draft for Vietnam – End the War in Vietnam.” The back of the piece features a large-scale graphic layered over the SIA emblem, referencing historic protest flyers and student demonstrations that helped shape cultural and political dialogue during the Vietnam War era.

Contrasting plaid panels introduce texture and dimension, while a curated mix of patches, pins, and stud detailing reinforces the garment’s rebellious, archival aesthetic.

The result is a wearable artifact that honors protest culture while pushing it forward through contemporary design.
