Japanese clothing brand FDMTL teamed up with American brand Dickies to create a new repaired workwear line for the spring. This capsule mixes classic streetwear and skatewear styles with industrial work clothes.
Featuring detailed patchwork on each piece, this line of men's outerwear may look worn-down, but is made with high-quality materials ensuring a long life span. The line includes coverall jackets and pants in three different colorways. With a navy, khaki or beige option, these pieces all have contrasting patches incorporated onto the body. Each piece was designed to be worn over-sized, making this line as comfortable as possible. This repaired workwear line by FDMTL and dickies will be available online in April, just in time for the spring.
