Carhartt WIP Returns to SURPLUS® for 2026
This October, Carhartt WIP heads back to SURPLUS® with a new weekend-exclusive collection, marking its second year at the Sydney festival presented by Nike Sportswear and SUPPLY®.
The collection is available exclusively from the SURPLUS® Marketplace on Saturday 17 October from 10am. It will not be released online.
A limited-edition souvenir Santa Fe Jacket leads the collection, featuring a heavyweight Dearborn Canvas body and collar, faux-leather sleeves and a quilted nylon lining. Exclusive Carhartt WIP x Nike Sportswear x SURPLUS® branding finishes the piece.
Conceived as an elevated take on festival merchandise, the range spans a Zip Hooded Sweater and Fleece Shorts in cotton French terry, alongside long- and short-sleeve 100% cotton t-shirts, all carrying co-branded graphics.
The graphic language pulls from each collaborator’s signature color: Hamilton Brown for Carhartt WIP, orange for Nike Sportswear, and SUPPLY® Blue for SURPLUS®. An Urban Camo motif ties the capsule together, reflecting the spirit of discovery and exploration that runs through SURPLUS®’s multi-venue, outdoor program.
To mark the occasion, Carhartt WIP is hosting an event on 16 October with three-piece band Suzy Sheer, bringing their shimmering, atmospheric electronics to Oxford Art Factory for a live performance.

fdecarlo@carhartt-wip.comAbout Carhartt Work In Progress
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.
