The Merch Might Be Terrible, But Travis Scott x PS5 Put Plaid on the Agenda
It’s been a turbulent few weeks for Travis Scott on social media. It all kicked off on Halloween when La Flame posted a much-derided image of himself outfitted in a unique, signature-brown Batman suit, now colloquially known as "Roach Brown," which promptly led to Scott deleting his Instagram. He has since returned to the ‘gram with a bang, allowing a view of his early-access Playstation 5 alongside an exclusive pair of Playstation x Cactus Jack Nike Dunks.
As a Strategic Creative Partner for Sony, La Flame took to the desert to livestream PS5: Unboxing Reimagined, one of our first looks at the new generation of gaming along with a live performance from James Blake. Scott is pictured at the door of his rugged, desert-bound gaming van but, while the Dunks and console stole a lot of attention, we obsessed over the plaid Isabel Marant jacket that he had on.
The plaid will always be a staple for the modern man thanks to its no-fuss, throw-on style, but the ease with which Travis Scott pulls off his natural-tone jacket has inspired us to reup our plaid collection. Wasting no time, we’ve hit the net to round up the best plaid jackets for Fall/Winter 2020, from the actual Isabel Marant jacket donned by Scott in his Instagram post to more affordable options from Urban Outfitters.
