Collaborations and Releases with Crockett & Jones, Dehen 1920, William Lockie, and Freenote Cloth
This week, we bring you a story about the “special relationship” between the US and the UK with goods that tell the tale. Thankfully, due to this close association, the economic region least affected by the tariff barrage was the United Kingdom, where craft preservation is still alive and remains one of Division Road’s favorite sources for makers and materials. Thus, we bring collaborations and collections of goods from US and UK manufacturing brands that have upheld traditions of quality and designs reminiscent of yesteryear while adapting products to reflect contemporary preferences. The completion of our Fox & Moon capsule with Dehen 1920, new camelhair collaborations with William Lockie, an ensemble of excellence from Freenote Cloth, and a small restock of our Crockett & Jones Arran Boot make-ups all embody the city-to-countryside lifestyle with class and craft.
PS -
We will specifically address the tariff situation soon. In a sea of uncertainty, one thing we think we know is that, for the foreseeable future, the lowest prices on the goods we carry are those currently on the site and those released over the next several weeks, imported under the previous tariff (custom/duty) rate policies.
Grab now, and cry later.
Dehen 1920 x Division Road
One of our strengths at Division Road is sourcing and evolving originals through materials. The Fox & Moon Pack exemplifies this practice. It utilizes outstanding fabrics from Britain’s finest mills, incorporating local merino lambswool to creatively enhance some Dehen benchmarks with luxury and utility. The Crissman Overshirt, one of the most prominent shirt-jackets in the industry, has been crafted from various fabrics over the years.
These Merino Herringbone versions, sure to be top contenders, feature some of the finest articles produced by Abraham Moon®, offering supreme versatility, character, and sophistication for a piece that can be worn year-round. A new unsung military-inspired hero of the Dehen lineup is the Cargo Vest, so we commemorated the design with a Moon® Chocolate Merino Herringbone body and the Fox Brothers® Harvest Houndstooth Check Twill Flannel for the front and back pockets, which unify the collection through themes of hunting, foraging, and sartorial styling.
Freenote Cloth
As the leading producer of heritage with a western, workwear, and wild-guy inspiration, Freenote Cloth brings us another collection of thoughtfully crafted pieces. Making the wardrobe lean with fresh iterations of vintage, we have an assembly of outerwear, including the brand’s original icons: the Riders Jacket, now available in a new Oak Waxed Army Duck Canvas, and the Gold Japanese Corduroy Classic Jacket, both appropriate for ranch work, road trips, and riding.
A new Grafton Jacket draws inspiration from 1940s-50s mechanics jackets, combining elements suited for outdoor activities and hunting, crafted in a Navy Japanese Moleskin that revitalizes the classics and will develop a unique patina with heavy use. One of our favorite shirt patterns, the Rancho, comes in a fantastic Bleached Indigo Bedford Cord that replicates countryside heritage cloths with a woven texture for a beautiful, durable, and distinctive staple. To complete the look, we introduce the Trabuco classic tapered cut in 17 oz. Japanese Slub Denim, produced exclusively for Freenote by Yoshiwa Mills, which offers the ideal weight, tension, and texture to achieve vintage fades with everyday wear.
William Lockie x Division Road
A rarity in menswear these days is ethically sourced Pure Camelhair and traditional knitwear. Our partnership with William Lockie is founded on our Berkshire Cardigan, which is based on one of their archive originals, while our Oxford Vest development utilizes their naturally molted and collected Gobi Desert roaming Two-Humped Bactrian Camelhair. This rare fiber is spun and dyed in England into a 4-ply yarn for entirely in-house knitwear crafted by William Lockie in Hawick, Scotland.
This collection features the colors we love year-round in an undyed Ecru Berkshire Cardigan, perfect as a hard-to-find natural layering piece, and the rich Ochre brown and Ivy green Oxford Vests, which provide versatile standouts to enhance a variety of fits. Whether worn over a tee, sweatshirt, or button down and under an overshirt, jacket, or blazer, these sweaters have a tailored drape that imparts your effortless casual style with vintage character and class.
Crockett & Jones x Division Road
One of England's premier footwear makers delivers a limited restock of two iterations of our favorite collaboration, the Arran Boot. Our version is crafted on the 365 Last, giving it an elegant shape while maintaining an outdoor-focused design. This includes a continuous vamp, a clean high quarter, and an integrated fluted backstay with a pull loop.
The Teak Oiled Sides, sourced from Horween, is produced from hand-selected, vegetable re-tanned steer side hides packed with a high oil and fat content. This provides both protection and a deep patina. Meanwhile, the Calf Suede from C.F. Stead uses full-weight calf hides that are combination-tanned and aniline dyed, featuring a finely finished nap for a luxurious feel that performs in any condition.
Our Arran collaborations with Crockett & Jones come equipped with antique brass eyelets and a dark brown leather storm welt, resting on a full off-road utility cleated Vibram Carrarmato sole originally developed with Pirelli. The term "Armored Car" aptly describes this flexible and functional lug sole, which blends high style and performance. These Division Road C&J boots are designed to tackle a variety of circumstances with comfort and ease.
