For Autumn/Winter 2019 Carhartt WIP has teamed up with Converse for another season to create two new variations of the iconic Chuck 70, the contemporary iteration of the Chuck Taylor All Star. Both silhouettes take cues from this season’s Carhartt WIP collection, reflecting key motifs and fabric compositions. The Chuck 70 Orange features a printed ripstop nylon upper which bears a seasonal real tree camouflage that is used heavily within the Carhartt WIP F/W19 collection. The Chuck 70 Black, meanwhile, borrows from seasonal reworkings of iconic Carhartt WIP pieces, which combine tonal canvas and corduroy. This can be seen on the upper, comprised of 8 wale cord and a robust cotton twill, which lends the shoe a subtle, textured aesthetic. Both sneakers come with two sets of laces with Carhartt WIP branding on the tips, and co-branded footbeds. These two styles are now available exclusively at Carhartt WIP's online shop and stores.

For the colder season, the first drop of Parlez winter collection arrives. We've introduced new lined jackets with water-resistant coating and storm-proof collars, a range of 1/4 zips, sweatshirts and rugby shirts in cosy heavyweight jersey, and expanded our range of versatile accessories to include more hats, new bag styles and socks too.    

For many years the sticker has been an alternative surface of choice for graffiti and street based artists around the world. Not only can you prepare your artwork long before it goes into service, you can also apply them discretely to their new home cleanly without a trace. The Eggshell Sticker changed the game again. With the same ease of application as any other sticker, the eggshell sticker which breaks down into smaller pieces that defy removal (when someone tries to remove them), has become the hard to buff sticker of choice.  The Montana Hologram Eggshell sticker is at the top of the game. With a unique holographic underground for your hand style or artwork, this sticker ticks all the boxes. Its eye catching and stands out amongst other stickers, it looks great, its the perfect size for application to almost anywhere and its hard to remove.

The expansion of the Indigo Line continues for Autumn/Winter 2019, experimenting with new fabrics and progressive silhouettes for the modern man.     A complete indigo selvage outfit sets the pace for the season ahead with the addition of the double-pleated Balder Pant and the half zip, Navy-inspired Popover Shirt, both available in an 8oz Cloud Selvage Denim. Taking iconic items from the EDWIN mainline, the E-Classic Jacket and wardrobe staple 55 Chino have been reworked in a 7.5oz indigo cotton corduroy bringing a new, yet familiar aesthetic to the collection. The characteristics of the natural indigo fabrics are inbuilt to change, twist and fade, evolving and enhancing the appearance of the garment over time, making herringbone cotton the perfect base for the two-button Don Blazer, Labour Shirt and Universe Pant, accompanied by the raglan-sleeve Meridian Sweater made from recycled yarns. The Indigo Line is completed with the add...

For Autumn/Winter 2019, Carhartt WIP has collaborated with the iconic record label Motown. Arguably the most influential American record label of all time, it is not hyperbolic to say that Motown irrevocably changed the face of music, in such a way that its influence can still be felt today. Indeed, Motown didn’t simply reconfigure what hits of that era sounded like, it played an instrumental role in diversifying the airwaves of US radio stations, bringing us the work of Marvin Gaye, The Supremes, et al. This exclusive capsule collection riffs on imagery and ephemera found in Motown’s archive and back-catalogue. A sateen bomber and rolled beanie both nod to the inimitable style of Marvin Gaye, while the Snake Pit Shirt references the basement recording studio in the home that would come to be known as “Hitsville, USA.” A series of graphic t-shirts and hoodies pay tribute to other aspects of Motown’s history, from the various sub-labels to the 1970 album A Pocket Full of...

This week’s edit from Carharrt WIP focuses on garments geared for winter. Robust parkas are presented alongside Carhartt WIP classics,  and styled with understated mid-layers: The Clash Parka, which is based on a classic M-51 fishtail, is layered here with the Volta Vest Liner. Both items are from their ever-evolving Military program, and are offset by pops of orange adorned with their seasonal real tree camouflage, as well as a staple sweatshirt in a muted off-white colour. The Fairmount Coat is an evolution of their classic Michigan Coat – one of the most archetypally Carhartt WIP garments. In this form, it is lent a sense of seasonality through pile detailing at the collar and a pile-lined body for added warmth. Here, it is worn over an understated corduroy shirt , with loose Newel chino pants and their recent collaboration with Clarks , which saw then rework the iconic Wallabee Boot. The OG Chore Coat is a robust outer layer with a d...

As a follow-up to Adidas ‘ reptilian-inspired “Snakeskin” Yung-1s seen back in May, the German sportswear giant is back with this new colourways “Solar Green/Real Purple.” Constructed with premium suede uppers, the silhouette is tinged with hits of neon, following a thematic colour palette. Kicking off the details of the sneaker, the tongue sees an embroidered logo stamped with Adidas ’ Trefoil logo as a nod to the heritage of the vintage silhouette. Three stripes branding is placed at the side walls, framed by a mix of breathable mesh and textured suede overlays. Rounding up the designs are lime-coloured inner collars, an articulated toe box and a crisp white midsole, underscored by a thin outsole. Available in store and online now at Fat Buddha Store .
