The new variation of the model elevates the look as it follows the same signature clean and regular fit but is also added with a reversible update. This doubles the wearability as the dual-sided design comes with a green side and a black side and boasts a [streetwear aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/record-bar-x-carhartt-wip). On the green side, it has a deep hue and the construction is made from a polyurethane material, which provides a creamy leather-like texture. It is also complete with a warm black quilting which is on the other side, adding a touch of warmth and bold tonal contrast.
