Finding Avirex’s gaudy US military apparel in the heart of China’s capital presents an unusual – or, rather, uncomfortable – juxtaposition. Sanlitun may be the hub of international Beijing, but who in China wants clothing that celebrates the military might of another country – let alone the world’s preponderant superpower? For those who do, there’s a range of tees, accessories and bomber jackets. And speaking of bombing, we also found a retro-style T-shirt with a map of South East Asia on it. One can only hope that this garment isn’t harking back to a time when the US Air Force – clearly so revered by this store – was blanketing the region with Agent Orange. We can’t even.
