Albino & Preto (A&P) and Dickies have once again joined forces for a new collection, building on their previous collaborations. This release marks a shift in focus, taking the rugged DNA of Dickies workwear and applying it to training-ready martial arts gear.
Flipping the concept of their 2023 release, which reimagined martial arts uniforms as casual essentials, the two brands now prioritize durability and function. The result is a selection of martial arts kits built entirely from Dickies’ signature poly-cotton fabric, engineered for resilience and mobility.
The collection introduces innovative pieces, including noragi/gi pant hybrids that feature set-in pockets, alongside kimono-style jackets and pocketed gi pants. The co-branded graphics are notably centered on the kimono tops, while the apparel is presented in colors like black, navy, and Lincoln green. A standout piece is the “mat only” uniform, which is specifically designed with lightly padded lapels to meet jiu-jitsu standards.
The Albino & Preto x Dickies collection will be available on December 4 at 11 a.m. PST, exclusively on the Albino & Preto website.
