The Spring/Summer 2023 Store Exclusives capsule offers a new take on this season’s collection, through a series of new styles, alongside those in reworked colorways and fabrics.
The collection features a series of items that draw inspiration from military silhouettes. There is the inclusion of the L2B Jacket, which has a lightweight canvas construction and pop-color lining, as well as two utilitarian pockets on the sleeves. Echoing these design features is the Railway Shirt Jac, which is unlined and has a collarless silhouette. These are complemented by the Archie Pant, a relaxed fit style featuring pleated cargo pockets on the legs. A woven military label appears on all three items.
Elsewhere in the capsule, styles have a more collegiate bent. This includes the Dennis Coach Jacket, constructed in lightweight technical fabric with a loose fit. The S/S Kenway Knit Polo and striped S/S Amble Polo further expand on this theme. A selection of loose-fit jersey items in green, beige, and navy blue round out the collection.
The accompanying imagery was shot by Paris-based photographer Basile Bertrand, across the neighborhoods of Oberkampf and Belleville in the French capital.
The Carhartt WIP Store Exclusives collection is limited to the brand’s stores and online shop.

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.
