Streetwear label Stüssy works in collaboration with workwear imprint Dickies on a collection entitled 'International Workgear.' The capsule centers in on Dickies' signature fabric material often used in its pieces, with poly cotton fabric used to construct the entire capsule. It features graphic tees, hoodies, an Eisenhower jacket and a pair of pants to match it. The graphic t-shirts draw inspiration from workwear art in the 50s, chosen alongside Kiko Kostadinov and Stephen Mann.
The color palette of the International Workgear collection is monochromatic with only hues of black and white -- the lookbook showcases the same theme. All of the items in the Stüssy and Dickies collection is set to drop on October 5th online at Stüssy and at chapter store locations.
