A.P.C. & Carhartt

text by JEFF RIAN 

When Jean Touitou, the ­creator of A.P.C., conceived of a col­laboration with Carhartt, he was apparently thinking about streamlining the kind of getup a typical American pioneer living off the land or a rough traveler hopping trains like Woodie Guthrie would need. Renowned for the fine cut of its clothes, A.P.C. adds a touch of style to the top-quality clothing Carhartt has been manufacturing for over a century — items known for their comfort, durable construction, and in some cases, their flame-proof fabrics!
The new A.P.C. & Carhartt line combines style and toughness in t-shirts, caps, jeans, work pants, and work shirts — the kind of threads a street clothes-hound like D from “The Wire” might feel good workin’ the corner in. Considering the apocalyptic state the planet seems headed for, durable rough-wear with a stylish, manly cut might be your best choice.
