Carhartt WIP works in collaboration with London-based design studio Toogood on a new collection full of streetwear items that are designed with inspiration from workwear silhouettes. The capsule is made up of products such as jackets and shirts that are notably made in an oversized shape. This gets a sculptural update that is informed by both Erica and Faye Toogood.
Throughout the entire range, the brands use materials true to Carhartt WIP including the lightweight Utah Canvas material and the Dearborn Canvas. It blends together perfectly with signature items from Toogood including the Photographer jacket and the Michigan jacket, giving the collection a utilitarian design language in a seamless manner. It also continues with items such as the Explorer Jacket and the Draughtsmen shirt.
