Carhartt WIP Joins SURPLUS 2025
Between 17th-19th October, Carhartt WIP will join SURPLUS®, a multi-venue festival in Darlinghurst, Eora/Sydney, presented by Supply Store and Nike Sportswear.
To mark the occasion, Carhartt WIP has collaborated with Nike Sportswear on a series of exclusive items, including a limited-edition OG Active Jacket. This piece has undergone a unique treatment offering a worn-in, burnished finish, and is detailed with a rubberized, co-branded print at the back. Accompanying this is a collaborative hooded sweatshirt and a short-sleeve pocket t-shirt. Products will be available at Carhartt WIP’s bespoke WIPNEWS stall at the event on Saturday October 18th, 2025.
Additionally, the brand will spotlight local artist Mim Libro with a collaborative capsule collection featuring her surreal, folkloric designs. These pieces will be presented at her debut solo exhibition at China Heights Gallery on October 17th.
At SURPLUS® on October 17th, Carhartt WIP will also host an event featuring East London rapper and songwriter YT, who will be bringing his idiosyncratic blend of UK rap and Cali Jerk to Sydney’s Oxford Art Factory.

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.
