S/S24 New Arrivals: Field & Craft
The second delivery of Spring/Summer 2024 is a contrast of scenes and silhouettes, as utilitarian layers and reworked polycotton classics are set against Sydney’s sprawling, mutable landscapes.
Constructed from midweight polycotton twill, items such as the S/S Craft Shirt, Short, and Pant channel a retro sensibility, appearing in 60s-inspired hues of solid brown and steel blue. Their loose-fit silhouettes, however, exhibit a contemporary bent. These are complemented by the embroidered Module Script Jacket, based on a classic Harrington silhouette. The knitted L/S Kendricks Polo, detailed with two-tone color-blocking, rounds out the selection.
Meanwhile, the haze of a coastal sunset frames S/S24’s military-inspired silhouettes, executed in an earthy palette of khaki green and sand beige. Featured is the Madock group, which includes a pant, jacket, and A-line fishtail parka, constructed from unlined, single-layer canvas. Pieces like the Unity Jacket and Pant are also rooted in functionality. Both are made from a washed cotton twill and detailed with multiple 3D pockets, grosgrain tape buttons, and a woven military label. Elsewhere, the Women’s Otley Bomber takes influence from a classic MA-1 jacket, while the Jet Cargo Skirt is based on the silhouette of a cargo pant.
The accompanying images were shot by photographer Jesse Lizotte, who is based between Sydney and New York. Lizotte is known for his intimate style of portraiture, which has seen him document subcultures across the globe, from the Japanese Yakuza to Los Angeles’ Lowriders.
The Spring/Summer 2024 collection is available at Carhartt WIP stores and our online shop.

jbiais@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.
