EVISU & Moose Knuckles 'Stand Apart' in First-Time Collaboration
Art-emblazoned Japanese denim and meticulously engineered Canadian outerwear unite the two brands’ distinct philosophies.
Summary
-
EVISU and Moose Knuckles collaborated on a nine-piece, denim-forward winter collection, blending Japanese heritage visuals with engineered outerwear.
-
The limited-edition capsule, which emphasises craftsmanship and individuality, launches December 5, 2025, online and at select retailers.
Discreetly previewed by rapper Joey Bada$$ at an early November Knicks game, Hypebeast exclusively reveals the first-ever collaboration between EVISU and Moose Knuckles.
All about standing apart from sameness, the denim-forward winter collection comprises nine limited-edition pieces that combine the Japanese denim leader’s heritage-inspired visuals with the Canadian outerwear brand’s expertise in engineered outerwear. Complete with winter coats, jeans, graphic tees, and accessories, the concise range is rooted in their shared affinity for craftsmanship, detail, and durability.
‘This collaboration brings together two brands with strong points of view and a shared refusal to tone it down,’ said Ludovico Bruno (Moose Knuckles Creative Director), in an official statement. ‘Moose Knuckles and EVISU are both built on craft, attitude, and a respect for where we come from. The capsule is a natural extension of that shared DNA, designed for people who are not afraid to be seen.’
Synthesising their areas of interest, a denim winter jacket boasts a fur-trimmed hood and silver rivet details accenting various pockets. For a lighter outerwear option, a classic denim trucker jacket features the recurring ‘EVISU MOOSE’ wordmark below a crashing wave, evocative of the iconic Great Wave off Kanagawa. Denim trousers continue to reprise the ‘EVISU MOOSE’ wordmark, while an oversized EVISU motif on the backside references Japanese art.
The classic Japanese denim label and the Canadian outerwear brand enlisted photographer Kajal with cinematography by Franklin Ricart for the official campaign, which explores the contrasts of anonymity and individuality. Masked and uniformed extras flank the models, further illustrating the concept.
The Moose Knuckles x EVISU collection will be available starting December 5, 2025, on MooseKnucklesCanada.com, EVISU.com, and at select Moose Knuckles and EVISU retail partners worldwide, in limited quantities.
