Collaborations and Releases with Viberg, Dehen 1920, Gitman Vintage, The Workers Club, and Studio D’Artisan
Fall is unofficially here, and we have a significant release of proper wardrobe essentials from top to bottom. Based on the classics with evolutions in material, fit, and finish, this release will induce that fall feeling with wearable collectibles that provide an effortless dress-casual aesthetic with authentic character. Add to your assembly with the best of the best Viberg, Dehen, Gitman, and TWC collaborations, plus some hyper-rare, limited releases from Studio D’Artisan to build out those fit goals and closet gaps with true heritage goods to make your own.
Viberg x Division Road Collaborations
One of our favorite leather articles in the world is Charles F. Stead’s Waxed Kudu, and our preferred formula with Viberg is to relate their refined view on aesthetics through a slightly different lens. These two Kudu make-ups are an excellent example of an enriched perspective on these high-character wild African antelope hides that have a tight pebbled grain and scars from the terrain, sanded and waxed to make a dutiful and flexible skin even more robust with a matte grain.
The Nutmeg Waxed Kudu Service Boot comes on the 2055 Last for a sleek version of a military-based Munson form with a cap-toe to communicate its rugged nature, refined with dress-size oxidized copper eyelets atop a natural leather midsole and Ridgeway sole. The Stone Waxed Kudu Wholecut gives this single-piece leather upper, generally reserved for formal styles, an elegant casual flair on the 2030 Last with copper bronze eyelets and a tonal scalloped welt and midsole atop the Ridgeway sole.
Dehen 1920 x DR | Gitman Vintage x DR
Dehen 1920 and Gitman Vintage remain some of the last in their category in the United States and are synonymous with quality, timeless wardrobe staples. We are proud of our work with these vertical manufacturing brands. Our iconic Shawl Cardigan Dehen collaboration comes knit by vintage machines from the 50s in three limited-release yarns for that new-classic, coolstyle piece. Regarded as the most robust and versatile layering to outerwear cardigans out there, the Burnt Orange, Dark Tan, and Dark Charcoal will be great additions to a drawer full of our collabs or as a first acquisition.
We present several pocket and collar variations on some new Gitman exclusives, starting with the Japanese milled Shetland Herringbone Flannel fashioned after woolen weaves in combed cotton. We also bring you a new soft and structured heavyweight Slub Twill Check with a dimensional pattern that begs to be worn regularly. For classic base layers with a heritage twist in our signature short button-down collar, we have the Fall Oxford and Twill Tattersall that replicate dress shirts and are brushed to a soft hand for casual, luxurious comfort.
The Workers Club x DR | Studio D’Artisan
We bring you some perfected rarities for those denim projects wisely begun at the season's onset. The Studio D’Artisan Rain Kasuri Indigo Sashiko Workshirt is one of the finest examples of a double-woven sashiko cloth, developed to creatively represent Japan’s climate and common kimono. At the same time, the 45th Anniversary Ishikawadai SP-086 Classic Tapered brings back an antique yarn famous for its soft plushness and consistent drape in a timeless fit.
Our 005 development with The Workers Club presents one of the finest modern leaning, Relaxed Tapered fits in the market. We bring you a final restock in the raw, all-season 13.5 oz. Kuroki Mills selvedge denim that has an approachable and wearable weight and flexibility for all to love — denim head and inductee alike. Also, for a small run, we have our artisan distressed custom 2-Year Wash, beloved and back-stocked by many for its rare, perfectly graded, and marked distress points in a mid-wash, which will conform to various body types and patina to the wearer.
