The Wrangler x CamphorWood collaboration returns with a second capsule collection centered on reworked denim informed by classic workwear. The release focuses on two core garments: a Custom 2-Way Trucker Jacket and Wide Baggy Broken Denim Trousers. Both pieces reinterpret Wrangler’s archival silhouettes through adjusted proportions, including a boxier jacket structure and voluminous trousers with a front-zip closure. The denim is offered in a standard indigo black as well as a textured Flocky Black finish, which adds surface depth and a tactile quality.
Rather than expanding into multiple categories, the capsule emphasizes fabrication and construction as its primary points of distinction. A pop-up launch is scheduled to take place at Four Store in Nakameguro in late December 2025, followed by online availability through CamphorWood’s official channels.
