Knitedge Black CLIPSE x Carhartt WIP OG Active Jacket

Gritty Luxury Meets Iconic Workwear for the Clipse World Tour

The CLIPSE Carhartt WIP Active Jacket is a monumental collaboration that marries the legendary durability of Detroit workwear with the sophisticated, street-level lyricism of the rap duo Clipse. This special edition OG Active Jacket, rendered in a deep triple-black, was designed to commemorate the Clipse World Tour, serving as a wearable piece of hip-hop history. At knitedge we highlight this garment for its cultural significance and its refusal to compromise on the rugged standards that have made Carhartt WIP a staple in both the job site and the underground music scene.

The visual identity of this Carhartt WIP OG Active Jacket Black is defined by its exclusive tour-specific branding. The right chest features intricate white embroidery in a gothic script detailing the “Clipse & Carhartt WIP World Tour” and the provocative phrase “Let God Sort ’em Out”. knitedge notes the specialized co-branding on the kangaroo pocket, where the classic Carhartt square label is modified to include the “Clipse” name, while the interior neck label features a custom crest that further solidifies the collaborative nature of this limited release.

Constructed from Carhartt’s signature 12-ounce organic cotton Dearborn Canvas, the Clipse Carhartt WIP World Tour Jacket is engineered for maximum longevity and weather resistance. The “OG” designation refers to its original loose, boxy fit, providing a heritage silhouette that allows for easy layering. knitedge emphasizes the functional craftsmanship of this Carhartt WIP Quilted Active Hoodie, which includes a diamond-quilted lining for superior warmth, a heavy-duty brass front zipper, and reinforced rib-knit cuffs and hem designed to trap heat and resist fraying during daily wear.

Q1 : Is the Dearborn Canvas material stiff when new ?

A : Yes, the CLIPSE Carhartt WIP Active Jacket is made from unwashed 12 oz canvas, which may feel stiff initially. knitedge notes that this material is designed to “break in” over time, softening and developing a unique patina that reflects the wearer’s movements while maintaining its structural integrity.

Q2 : How does the “OG” fit differ from the standard Carhartt Active Jacket ?

A : The “OG” fit of this Clipse Carhartt WIP World Tour Jacket is significantly roomier and shorter in length than the “Active Jacket” model. knitedge suggests staying true to size for a classic streetwear silhouette, or sizing down if you prefer a more modern, streamlined appearance.

Q3 : Is this jacket warm enough for freezing temperatures ?

A : The diamond-quilted lining in the Carhartt WIP Quilted Active Hoodie provides excellent warmth for autumn and mild winter days. For extreme freezing conditions, knitedge recommends utilizing the boxy OG fit to layer a heavy wool sweater or fleece underneath for maximum thermal protection.

Q4 : Will the white embroidery on the chest unravel over time ?

A : Carhartt WIP is known for high-tension, industrial-grade embroidery. The script on the Clipse Let God Sort Em Out Jacket is built to withstand heavy wear; however, knitedge recommends washing the jacket on a cool cycle and air-drying to prevent any potential shrinkage or distortion of the embroidered panels.
