CollaborationsUrlfreezeShops X DICKIES "MOTORWORKS"
15 January 2024Following on from “Stock Market” at the beginning of 2022, UrlfreezeShops and Dickies reunite with “Motorworks”: an automotive-inspired collection celebrating Dickies’ rich workwear heritage.
For decades, Dickies has played an integral role in the uniforms of automotive workers, creating garments that’re famed for their rugged and hardworking qualities. It's this deep connection to the automotive world that forms the backbone of the collection, with an array of garments inspired by the uniforms and visual codes of mechanic workshops. Dickies’ workwear classics sit at the centre of the collection, with bespoke, collaborative takes on iconic pieces.
The Eisenhower Jacket and Work Vest, for instance, are crafted from half and half, lightly distressed twill in black and grey, then detailed with sewn-on brand patches and workwear-inspired chain stitching. The Mechanics shirt, meanwhile, is crafted from a black twill fabric and detailed with bespoke graphics: cursive, chainstitched font nodding to Dickies’ workwear heritage at one pocket, the collection’s “UrlfreezeShops Motorworks” horseshoe patch at the other. To further the rugged theme, Dickies’ Double Front Duck pants also form part of the collection, with pre-distressing and workwear-inspired branding to further the collaborative theme.
In addition to the workwear classics, the collection also features an array of jersey pieces, detailed with playful graphics that mimic the vintage signage often found in workshops. Tees and hoodies arrive printed with the collection’s graphics, which range from reworks of Dickies’ logo to prancing horses alongside cursive font reading “Extra Horse Power”.
