In an effort to raise funds for Brooklyn Community Bail, Arc'teryx announced that it would offer a limited edition collection that features an array of designs from Shaun Crawford, a New York-based graffiti artist who's collaborated in the past with other brands like Converse and Carhartt WIP.
A total of 51 pieces comprise the collaborative collection, which features jackets, shorts, pants, and other garments that spotlight the artists' ink tie-dye designs. This gives the outerwear a unique look, with each piece's patterns varying. In addition to the dyeing technique used, Crawford uses a range of color combinations that make each creation different. All of the pieces come with dual-branding, which is included on either side of the chest on jackets, and on both legs on the shorts and pants. The collection will be available exclusively at the Arc'teryx store in Soho beginning on November 14th.
