Carhartt WIP celebrates five decades of an icon with the OG Active Jacket 50th Anniversary Collection – a tribute to a piece that has transcended its workwear origins since debuting in 1975. Once built for labor, later adopted by skaters, musicians, and filmmakers alike, the silhouette stands as a timeless symbol of authenticity and adaptability. Now, fifty years on, its legacy is honored through a set of reimagined designs that blend heritage with modern craftsmanship.
The collection features four fully reversible iterations – two in rugged Dearborn Canvas, one in denim, and one in leather – each finished with a commemorative Square Label. The black canvas edition flips to a bold red lining inspired by the first-ever Active Jacket, while the Hamilton Brown version pairs with a fresh ‘camo trebark’ pattern. The denim piece contrasts a stone-bleached finish with a diamond-quilted sateen reverse, detailed with anniversary embroidery and patches.
The Carhartt WIP OG Active Jacket 50th Anniversary collection, including the Dearborn Canvas and Denim version, releases at BSTN on Thursday, October 30th. Pick up your favorite via the button below now!
