Carhartt WIP x Civilist
Carhartt WIP x Civilist
Carhartt WIP and Berlin-based skate store Civilist have created a six-piece limited collection, marking the second capsule between both brands. The collection includes an Active Jacket, Brandon Short, and crewneck sweatshirt, detailed with intaglio-inspired graphic patches and embroidery. These graphics also appear across a selection of t-shirts, as well as a skate deck in two sizes.
Featuring members of the Civilist crew rendered in low-poly style graphics, the accompanying video was created by Berlin-based artist Finley Stewart, of the interdisciplinary architecture, art, and new media collective Tor Studio.
Civilist, founded in 2009 in Berlin’s Mitte district, has cemented itself as a cultural hub and meeting point for the city’s skaters. Over the years, Civilist has become a brand in its own right, producing apparel with a focus on well-made staples and unique graphic designs. Carhartt WIP x Civilist launches on August 30, available exclusively at Civilist’s Berlin store and online shop.

Established in 1994 by Edwin Faeh, Carhartt Work In Progress (WIP) develops its own collections based on original Carhartt workwear. The brand combines authentic adaptations of these robust American archetypes, while engaging with the subcultures that have embraced it. This, in turn, has seen Carhartt WIP place itself in a new context and bring forth its own classics.
Carhartt WIP opened its first store in London in 1997 and today operates over 80 brick and mortar locations worldwide. It also has its own skate team and music department, while supporting an array of artists and releasing various in-house publications. Since 2010, Carhartt WIP has worked with a number of like-minded collaborators, including A.P.C., Converse, Fragment Design, Junya Watanabe, Nike, Underground Resistance, and Motown.
About Civilist Berlin
2009 – Berlin-Mitte. Brunnenstrasse. Formerly used as an art gallery, the interior hasn’t changed much when Civilist moved in. They left the concrete floor coating the way it was, only added some other furniture. Throughout the years, Civilist has been the hangout for their crew, friends & neighbours, Berlin skaters and creatives from all over the world. If you're lucky, you might find one or the other exhibition hanging on the old gallery walls.
After a couple of years, Civilist established itself as a brand that channels their own ideas and represents works of their staff, crew and international artists. Civilist goods can be found in selected skateshops and stores across the globe.
