Carhartt WIP introduces its latest collection designed for the Fall/Winter 2022 season and it is packed with rugged styles and refined fabrication. The gritty aesthetics are inspired by the Baroque tapestry and the Scandanavian minimalism along with the rich youthful subcultures of New York City during the 90s.
There is a spotlight on function and wearability with a wide range of items such as relaxed denim, canvas jackets, cargo pants, and puffer coats. Most of the capsule is cast in the usual Dearborn canvas materials but some are further elevated with laser aging treatment processes as well. The outerwear options include quilted jackets and duck jackets in hues of ice blue, black, plum, rust, beige, and brown.
