The Pleated Clutch, Carhartt Edition - Pre-order

Workwear, rebuilt to be kept.

Somewhere, a jacket spent years doing honest work. Early mornings. The barn, the truck, the job site, the cold. It softened, it faded, it took on every mark of a life well used. Then it came to my studio. I take it apart and keep what the years gave it, because the wear tells the story. Pleated and sculpted into a silhouette it was never meant to be, it becomes the Pleated Clutch. Familiar at a glance. Entirely new in the hand. Choose your jacket below. No two are alike, and you are part of every step.

The North & Knox Difference

Every Pleated Clutch, Carhartt Edition is handcrafted one at a time in my studio. No two pieces are alike, making yours as individual as the story behind it.

The Jacket

Each Pleated Clutch, Carhartt Edition begins with an authentic vintage Carhartt chore jacket, washed and prepared by hand before construction begins. Because every piece is cut, pleated, and finished by hand, the pleating, stitching, and placement vary slightly from one to the next. That is part of what makes yours individual, adding a quality that cannot be manufactured. The pockets vary based on the original jacket, since every jacket is different.
