The sacai x Carhartt WIP Suiting x Duck Jacket in Ivory is a masterclass in sartorial alchemy, where Chitose Abe’s signature hybrid tailoring collides with the honest, hard-wearing soul of workwear. Part of a tight nine-piece capsule that also lands in black and deep indigo, this ivory edition feels like the collection’s quiet statement piece—softer, airier, yet just as densely layered with concept. From the very first glance, you’re seeing more than one garment: the silhouette of sacai’s single tailored jacket is the foundation, but it’s been spliced, remixed, and fortified with the DNA of Carhartt WIP’s Siberian Parka and classic Chore coat. The result is a shape that’s at once razor-sharp and ruggedly relaxed, a true dual-citizen of fashion week runways and frost-bitten loading docks. The ivory colourway reads as a warm, slightly creamy off-white—far from stark, it’s the kind of tone that picks up the texture of each fabric beautifully. The body is dominated by premium duck canvas, Carhartt WIP’s legendary heavyweight cotton weave that breaks in like denim and weathers gracefully with wear.

The design vocabulary pulls directly from both houses. The notched lapel and structured shoulders nod to sacai’s signature blazer, but then you notice the utility pockets: large kidney-shaped patch pockets borrowed from the Chore coat, their edges reinforced with bar tacks,
