The Originals
Seen here on Detroit rapper, singer and producer Illa J – younger brother of J Dilla and former member of the seminal Slum Village collective – is a selection of new-old pieces. For F/W18, Carhartt WIP has dug into its archive, to recreate the iconic Michigan Chore Coat in its O.G. fit – a little more boxy and oversized than is typical. The Bib Overall has received similar treatment, and is also executed in a washed duck canvas. It’s a throwback to when clothes were built a little looser, and all the more current for it.
Carhartt WIP is proudly supporting Illa J's Enjoy The Ride Tour 2018, which takes him through Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and the UK. Tour dates are here.
