The Blue Morpho Jacket was one of our earliest and most experimental pieces. It’s a fully waterproof outer shell that recreates one of nature’s most brilliant solutions to high visibility – the iridescent wings of the Blue Morpho butterfly. The microscopic scales that cover the butterfly’s wings reflect light to create an iridescent shimmering blue that’s constantly shifting colour and can be seen by pilots flying over the rainforest from a kilometre away.

We used highly reflective blue glass spheres on the surface of our jacket to mimic the microstructures on the surface of its wing, making it ultra-visible from long range. Each jacket was engineered with lasers, resin and over 2 billion of these microscopic glass spheres to create a crazily reflective jacket that can shift from matt blue to a bionic blue in a nanosecond.

Ultimately we stopped making clothing out of glass as it lacked the durability we wanted. And this batch of jackets wasn't made available at the time because of imperfections in the material and inconsistencies in the colour. But if you’re prepared to forgive its faults, visually it remains one of our most iconic pieces.
