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.

fdecarlo@carhartt-wip.comAbout Carhartt Work In Progress
Carhartt Work In Progress (WIP) is a clothing brand that adapts and modifies the core products of the pioneering American workwear brand Carhartt to create its own collections. Established in 1994 by Edwin Faeh, the brand’s audience is just as likely to associate its iconic yellow C motif with late 90s hip hop videos or skate clips, as they are with factories or manual labor. This distinction is key in defining what Carhartt WIP does. Carhartt WIP engages with different cultural spheres: from Detroit and Berlin’s symbiotic techno scenes, to skateboarding and its communities that span Paris, New York, and Seoul, to the contemporary art world. The brand channels these influences, representing the culture which has formed around it. This can be seen and felt in its collections, its imagery, and its choice of partners and collaborators. Today, Carhartt WIP operates over 100 brick and mortar retail stores across Europe, Asia, and the US, as well as working with select wholesale clients.
