There’s something special about a co-ord, but there are lots of particularly special things about J.WU ‘s Carrier Collection — a striking set made up of their Carrier jacket and Carrier pants.

Both pieces are inspired by vintage American workwear and have bags of character. The Carrier jacket sits short on the hip with a contemporary boxy fit. Up front, there are two chest pockets and two deep characterful curved patch pockets. These are mirrored on the back in the form of a roomy back pocket. J.WU has continued these curved pockets onto the Carrier pants — two front, two back, and that stalwart of workwear, a utility pocket on the thigh. Double-kneed construction and a high rise make them the perfect companion to the jacket, but there’s no arguing that both pieces can stand in their own right.

Both jacket and pants are made from a 12 oz. cotton canvas sewn at , which has been weaving textiles in South Carolina for over 180 years. After being cut into these wokwear-inspired silhouettes, it’s then garment-washed — once cut and sewn — to give it a comfortable, worn-in look and feel from the get-go.

But the Carrier Collection doesn’t just use an American fabric; it takes the Made in USA label seriously. All other aspects of J.WU’s Carrier Collection’s production are handled domestically. The cotton is grown in Texas before heading to SC to be woven, it then heads up to New York, where it’s cut and sewn before ending up in New Jersey for finishing. This is an approach we are seeing more of in the industry, and it’s spawning some beautiful garments – with this two-piece being an exceptional release.

Carrier jacket available for $295 and Carrier pants available for $285, both directly from J.WU.
