What makes the commemorative Santa Fe jacket special?
The centerpiece of the collection is a limited-edition Santa Fe jacket, with the body and collar crafted from Carhartt WIP's signature heavyweight Dearborn Canvas, while the sleeves are swapped for contrasting faux leather, and the lining features quilted nylon. 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.
