Summary

For Fall/Winter 2025, Carhartt WIP has teamed up with fashion designer Nicholas Daley to create a 13-piece capsule collection. The collaboration is rooted in a shared appreciation for music culture and celebrates Daley’s core values of community, craftsmanship, and culture. The British designer pays tribute to the trailblazing reggae club night, “Reggae Klub,” that his parents, Maureen and Jeffrey Daley, first hosted in Edinburgh in 1972.
Daley, known for infusing functional, workwear-inspired silhouettes with a subcultural sensibility , threads subtle references to both Jamaica and Scotland throughout the collection. The palette features rich blues, greens, and mustard yellows, echoing the colors of the St Andrew’s Cross flags.
Key pieces include a reimagined Carhartt WIP chore coat in navy corduroy and indigo denim with contrast stitching. Other collection staples like the Vest and Double Knee Pant are also updated with similar design cues. The collection nods to musical ephemera with custom pin badges, t-shirts inspired by the club night, and a record bag featuring a custom tartan print, which was created in collaboration with Daley’s mother’s knitting circle. This emphasis on ancestral craftsmanship also appears on a short harrington-style jacket. Closing it out is a set of incense sticks made in collaboration with Japanese incense manufacturer Kuumba International, with the natural outdoor scents of Jamaica and Scotland kept in mind during its development.
Early access is available via Nicholas Daley and Carhartt WIP‘s webstores, as well as the Carhartt WIP app on October 22. The collection’s official launch (and a global release event at Carhartt WIP Store Shibuya) is set for October 23, followed by an event at Carhartt WIP Store Brooklyn on October 24.
