Carhartt WIP made with Liberty Fabric
For FW22, Carhartt WIP has collaborated with Liberty Fabric, creating a five-piece capsule that ushers in the festive season.
Drawing on Liberty Fabric's rich archive of designs, the collection sees the creation of a two-piece set of pajamas which reference two classic Carhartt WIP styles in their design. The shirt’s patch pockets nod to a classic chore coat, while the corresponding pant features a hammer loop and knee panel detailing, traditionally found on the brand’s Double Knee Pant. This utilitarian base is softened by the seasonal color palette chosen, which comprises deep hues of purple, tan, and gold, executed in a classic Paisley print design. These items are further complemented by a Carhartt WIP made with Liberty Fabric sleeping mask, which utilizes the same print.
In addition to the pajama set – which will also be available at select Carhartt WIP stores globally – the collaboration includes a series of products that are exclusive to Liberty London. A graphic t-shirt appears alongside a set of two Christmas tree ornaments, offered in Liberty’s signature shade of purple and featuring a twinkling ‘C’ Logo motif.
Liberty London will also carry a limited number of carry-on suitcases, created for this collaboration by the iconic British luggage brand Globe-Trotter. Each one is hand-crafted in Nottingham and lined with the Liberty Fabric print that features throughout the collection, while also featuring hand-painted Carhartt WIP branding on the outer-case.
The accompanying images for this collaboration were shot by London-based photographer Scott Gallagher, channeling a modern-day twist on a bacchanalian feast.
Carhartt WIP made with Liberty Fabric will be available from December 1st.

fdecarlo@carhartt-wip.comAbout Carhartt WIP
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 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 when defining Carhartt WIP.
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, reflecting the culture that has formed around it. This can be seen and felt in its collections, imagery, and collaboration partners. 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.
