Collaborations and Releases with Nicks Handmade Boots, Dehen 1920, Fortela, and Resolute

This week, we present a collection of long-anticipated collaborations and considered goods designed to transition effortlessly into the season ahead — balancing ease with the durability and utility that define our approach. A new iteration of our Workman Moc with Nicks and Dehen’s first all-leather All-City Varsity Jacket lay the groundwork for enhanced staples through Division Road exclusives. Fortela delivers a study in refined simplicity, where fabric and fit elevate everyday forms to a higher standard. We also introduce Resolute to Division Road, a Japanese denim authority devoted to perfecting the classic jean through process, precision, and an unwavering focus on the essential.

Nicks Handmade Boots x Division Road

Building on what is set to become a defining Nicks x DR make-up, we introduce the Concrete Workman Moc. Crafted from Horween’s vegetable-tanned and waxed Cypress leather, this limited Light Grey expression offers rare tonal depth, designed to develop a pronounced patina over time. The composition is driven by balance — natural moc-toe stitching, a leather midsole, and off-white stitchdown construction, paired with tonal antique brass hardware and Nicks’ wedge sole. Set on the HNW Last, the silhouette bridges workwear and military sensibilities, delivering a structured yet adaptable form equally suited to the demands of the street or the workshop.

Dehen 1920 x Division Road

Dehen reaches a milestone with their first all-leather All-City Varsity Jacket, rendered in Old English Rust premium top-grain cowhide, combination tanned and left undyed to reveal a rich oak tone with high-contrast aging potential. The Skyline Overshirt returns in two distinct fabrications — Halley Stevensons Dry Waxed Herringbone Twill in Sage and an undyed Natural Sashiko-ori cloth — offering versatile layering through texture and structure. Rounding out the assembly, the Heavy Duty Raincoat arrives in a lightweight yet resilient Halley Stevensons Dry Waxed Ripstop in Faded Blue, delivering a subtle statement suited for the seasons ahead.

Fortela

Fortela continues its exploration of archival forms through a distinctly Italian lens, using Manteco cotton and linen cloths to refine utility-rooted garments. The Owen Safari Jacket in Camel Linen Drill Canvas reinterprets field jackets with a heavyweight linen that is piece-dyed and washed for a naturally evolving patina. The Garçon Double Breasted Work Jacket draws on early 1900s French workwear, featuring a rolling front that allows for varied styling across casual and tailored contexts, in raw navy linen canvas. The Montana Barn Jacket channels ranchwear traditions, crafted in a sun-faded cotton canvas with hand-finished character and a perfected silhouette. Completing the offering, the Albert Mechanic Jacket distills 1930s workshop garments into a perfected shirt-jacket form, delivering understated structure with enduring mid-century appeal.

Resolute

We welcome Resolute to Division Road — an uncompromising Japanese denim maker focused on the singular pursuit of perfecting the classic jean. Produced in Japan through its most storied denim-focused prefectures, Resolute’s approach centers on the relationship between loomstate fabric and the finished garment, meticulously calibrating shrinkage, tension, and pattern to ensure each pair maintains its intended fit through wear and wash. The result is a jean that breaks in with ease while developing a natural, accelerated fade pattern true to vintage precedent.

The 711 XX Model channels the 1950s Regular Straight silhouette, offering a balanced rise and a clean leg that reflects the post-war evolution of the American jean, crafted from 13.5 oz. one-wash indigo denim for immediate wearability and long-term character. In contrast, the 714 WWII Model draws on 1940s wartime production, featuring a slightly fuller profile and utilitarian detailing that speak to material conservation and the era's functional design. Together, they represent Resolute’s disciplined interpretation of vintage denim — where subtlety, proportion, and process define a standard that resists excess in favor of enduring form.
