The Daytripper was originally thought up once the boys from Wythe got their hands on a 1940s "austerity" British Battledress. They had been delving into 1960s Laurel Canyon culture (and more notably, the counterculture), Woodstock, Ken Kesey and his followers, etc. They really appreciated how these people wore and styled militaria. They were taking these masculine symbols of war and flipping them on their heads- they'd cut them up, repurpose them, decorate them with their own DIY patches and embroideries, and really change how these garments were viewed, and changed what they represented.

Wythe felt this jacket was a great way to do that in their own way. They played on the theater-made insignia that you'd often see on a lot of military garments and made their own for the Daytripper. Wythe used their cotton/linen slub twill that you find on their chinos and Officer's Shirts and applied it to the multi-pleated, cropped body of the battledress. Best worn open over our ringer tees.
