What makes the commemorative Santa Fe jacket special?

The jacket is embroidered with a tri-brand mark combining Carhartt WIP, Nike Sportswear, and SURPLUS®, marking the unique identity of this collaboration.
What other pieces does the collection include?
Beyond the jacket, the lineup includes a zip-up hoodie and matching fleece shorts made from pure cotton loopback fabric, along with 100% cotton long-sleeve and short-sleeve T-shirts, rounding out a complete festival apparel set.

How do the colorways and patterns reflect the three-way collaboration?
The overall palette draws from the signature colors of the three partners: Carhartt WIP's Hamilton Brown, Nike Sportswear's orange, and SURPLUS®'s SUPPLY® Blue. An Urban Camo pattern runs throughout the collection, tying the pieces together and echoing the atmosphere of the festival's Darlinghurst grounds.
