The 100 Thieves x Lexus LFA Collection is a limited capsule translating the Lexus LFA’s design language into apparel and accessories. Developed with Golden Bear Sportswear and DSPTCH, the range reflects precision engineering and motorsport heritage through a restrained black-on-black palette. Each piece incorporates motorsport-inspired graphics, Japanese heritage references, and subtle detailing drawn from the LFA’s visual identity.
The collection includes a Golden Bear varsity jacket with a wool body, leather sleeves, chenille patches, and embroidered motifs, produced in limited quantities. Additional pieces include a wool scarf, a graphic T-shirt, and an understated dad hat designed for everyday wear. A weekender bag by DSPTCH introduces a functional element, featuring hardware and design cues aligned with the LFA. The collection was photographed alongside an authentic Lexus LFA sourced from Lexus USA.
