Carhartt WIP just dropped a football collection in collaboration with Tokyo-based label F.C. Real Bristol. 

The collection combines the two brands’ aesthetics, tapping into youth culture with F.C. Real Bristol’s blokecore style and Carhartt’s functional design. The drop football-inspired apparel, accessories and memorabilia (a football and a rubber duck), blurring the lines between football gear and lifestyle. 

The capsule includes varsity jackets, nylon and satin warm-up jackets, scarves, T-shirts, jerseys, socks, and a cap – all taking on the co-branded graphics with a hint of Carhartt’s utilitarian flare on the kits. 

Founded in 1999, F.C. Real Bristol is a Japanese fictional football club inspired by British football culture. It first came out ahead of the 2002 World Cup in Japan, and has been collabing with the likes of Nike on football-inspired pieces and fictional kits. This is the first linkup with Carhartt WIP.

To celebrate the new drop, Carhartt will be hosting Progress League 2026 – a table football tournament across multiple cities. The London one is happening tonight, April 9th, at the Soho Carhartt WIP flagship store.  

The collection drops on April 10th, on carhartt-wip.com and Carhartt WIP stores.
