Carhartt WIP Fall/Winter 21: Wilderness Calls

August 02, 2021

Carhartt Work In Progress (WIP) presented its F/W 21 Collection through a detailed lookbook, which includes an assemblage of rugged and weather enduring pieces. The collection induces childhood camping trip nostalgia, featuring shades of earth-inspired clay, beige, and sienna and multiple made-to-last materials, such as corduroy, wool, and treated canvas.

Not only did Carhartt WIP play off of the great outdoors, but the brand also took inspiration from its own tried and true styles. One style in particular that established the foundation for the new collection was Carhartt’s Double Ruck Knee pants, known for their worn down, two-toned knee panel. This austere yet functional mode of design paved the way for the F/W 21 Collection to highlight many of its own dual-toned garments — pants, overalls, the OG Arctic Coat, and more.

In continuation of the rustic theme, the collection incorporates references to hunting, rock climbing, and vast natural expanses. Much of the collection is adorned in camouflage, scenic outdoor prints, and even a yarn-dyed stripe technique reminiscent of traditional saddle blankets.

There are further drops set for the coming months, but the F/W Women’s and Men’s collections are now available at all Carhartt WIP stores and online via Carhartt-WIP.com.

VANS Debuts Premium Old Skool Music Collection

Today’s collection is a three-part homage to that legacy. The first drop in this capsule channels early punk and hardcore energy, featuring bold leopard prints and standout solids that echo the original ‘70s and ‘80s colorways. Next, a Warped Tour-inspired drop pops with classic Checkerboard, two tone details, and flame prints that rekindle the Y2K vibe. The last drop features vibrant colorways on gum soles that call back to when underground hip hop took the Old Skool to new places. Each capsule is designed to honor non-conformity and the spirit of pushing boundaries that has defined the Old Skool since its inception.

It’s more than just style. The updated Premium Old Skool Build is engineered with modern materials for a seamless fit, enhanced comfort from 30% biobased Sola Foam ADC insoles, glossy sidewalls, and extra foxing tape. To top it off, throwback branding ties it all together, echoing the details of ’90s-era Vans footwear.

For the collection, Vans tapped into musicians who embody raw emotion and passion through music, including The Paranoyds, Voice of Baceprot, Little Simz and HiTech. These crews shape cultural narratives through their creative endeavors and uplift the “Off The Wall” mindset with the Old Skool on their feet.

The Premium Old Skool Music Collection will drop monthly beginning February 6 at Vans retail locations and at Vans.com. ‘70s- ‘80s Punk Capsule drops February 6, ‘90s-2000s Warped Tour-Inspired Capsule drops March 6, and 2010s Hip Hop Capsule drops April 10
