Carhartt WIP Unveils a Japan-Exclusive Denim Capsule for the New Year

Summary

• Carhartt WIP debuts a Japan-exclusive New Year capsule in 13.5 oz denim.
• The Helston-inspired jacket and Landon pants feature festive red triple-stitching
• The collection launches January 2, 2026, via Japan retail locations and online

Carhartt WIP is set to release a lineup of Japan-exclusive items just in time for the New Year, featuring a denim jacket and a matching pair of denim pants. Both pieces are constructed from a sturdy 13.5 oz fabric, maintaining the brand’s reputation for ruggedness while incorporating intricate details that celebrate New Year festivities.

The denim jacket is an adaptation of the brand’s Helston Jacket silhouette, offering a relaxed fit with a rigid finish. It is equipped with two buttoned chest pockets and two front pockets, while a cozy blanket lining and a synthetic leather collar provide enhanced warmth and texture. Festive red triple-stitching accents the jacket’s structural lines. Instead of the standard woven square label, this piece is finished with a premium, black leather patch for a more subtle and sophisticated look.

The accompanying denim pant, a reinterpretation of the classic Landon Pant, is designed to be worn as a coordinated set. Featuring a loose tapered fit with a regular waist, it mirrors the jacket’s rigid finish and signature red stitching. The design is rounded out with the same black leather square label, ensuring a cohesive aesthetic across the collection.

The Carhartt WIP Japan-exclusive denim capsule will launch on January 2, 2026. Items will be available at all Carhartt WIP retail locations in Japan and the official webstore, with prices ranging from ¥28,600 to ¥48,400 JPY (approx. $180–$310 USD).
