BEAMS and BOWWOW Collaborate on the "AUTO CITY DUCK JACKET"

A robust workwear garment influenced by the durable clothing of early 20th-century American railway and industry workers.

BOWWOW

The golden age of American industry is revived in the recent collaboration between BEAMS and BOWWOW. The “AUTO CITY DUCK JACKET” is a carefully designed tribute to the durable workwear of the early 20th century. This custom item is directly inspired by the robust canvas armour utilised by the labourers who constructed the railroads, factories, and automotive facilities that shaped the modern era.

BOWWOW

The jackets represent a contemporary reinterpretation derived from a "ultimate collection of experimentation and failure." Both manufacturers collaborated to maintain the essence of the original industrial silhouettes while enhancing the fit for a modern urban environment. The jacket is constructed from robust, high-density duck canvas intended to endure severe conditions, complemented by a functional design that respects its blue-collar practicality. The distinguishing characteristic is the authentic weathering—a skilfully executed finish that emulates the genuine patina of a garment subjected to years of arduous work in an industrial setting.

This jacket is crafted to seamlessly integrate into both bustling urban environments and serene outdoor settings, while exhibiting a notable emphasis on craftsmanship. It exemplifies the lasting significance of utilitarian design, demonstrating that historical tools are ideally equipped for contemporary endeavours. Anticipate the release commencing January 10, 2026, exclusively via BEAMS and BOWWOW channels.
