The love affair between Japan and Levi’s is rooted in ’50s-era American rock’n’roll films. The jeans worn by the rebel characters were Levi’s, but the jeans weren’t available in Japan and therefore became treasured relics of the culture. The ensuing collaboration, between style icon Motofumi “Poggy” Kogi and Levi’s, is a direct reference to one of Poggy’s favorite jackets in his vintage collection.

Which single word do you most identify with?” Their answers are indicative of their experiences, but their responses will inspire, empower, and in some instances infuriate—thanks to the structures they (and all women) have to navigate.

With an obvious and apt nod to workwear, Dickies and Union Made’s recent collaboration perfectly blends the two brands. At first glance, the sturdy pants are Dickies, but thanks to a slightly slimmer, detail-oriented finish, they’re equally representative of SF-based Union Made’s vibe. The cut-off hems and embroidery add a little extra character to these coral-hued chinos.
