Levi’s Made & Crafted Collection is Spicier Compared to Your Regular 501s

Levi’s Made & Crafted collection has taken all the heritage, quality, and commitment to traditional denim and elevated it through the use of premium fabric, new construction methods, and design elements like folk-inspired embroidery, quilted stitching, raw edges, and hand-finished fabrics, making each piece feel artisinal and unique.

Now’s the perfect time to get your hands on a chore coat and the newly-trending wide-cropped trousers, along with a few fantastic sale pieces that are sure to sell out if you don’t act fast. Here are a few of our favorites from the current lineup, including some collaboration pieces with Josh Peskowitz.

Newest CAT collaboration collection sells out in first week
It was extremely popular and took no time to sellout
CAT x ASSC feature

CAT is as tough as you are. CAT has something for you, whether you are on a construction site, keeping the streets safe, or doing any other hard work vocation. They are the pinnacle of workwear and combine movability with durability while also never sacrificing what looks excellent as well. Then, some collaborations stand above the rest. Most recently, they collaborated with an MLS star to create a great-looking functional collection. However, the latest collaboration from CAT dropped on December 14th and may be the most popular yet, as it sold out in under a week. While the love for a short-run limited edition keeps these happening regularly, we can't lie and say we wish this one had gone on a little longer. We weren't quick enough, but for CAT x ASSC, it is a good problem to have.
Gone in a heartbeat

What made the collaboration so intriguing is the partly the other half of the creative collective. Anti Social Social Club began just under a decade ago when the founder, Neek Lurk (Andrew Buenaflor), used the creative aspect of the brand as an emotional outlet for his depression. Launching it on Twitter and becoming a viral statement of support for emotional health, the brand blew up and has been enjoyed by celebrities such as Kanye West and BTS. They do a lot of collaborations, so it is no surprise that the combination of their streetwear aesthetics combined with CAT's workwear reputation caused this collection to fly off the shelves. We will have to keep our ears to the ground for more coming down the pipe.
