The latest October deliveries from WORKERS have now arrived.
This month’s lineup includes the completely new “Jay Jacket,” the long-awaited return of the Mountain Parka, and the detail-rich Yama-Poke Work Shirt.
In addition, we also received the special mid-season release “BOX SHIRT poplin,” which sits outside the regular collection.
It is a particularly varied and interesting group of products, so we would like to introduce them all together.
First is the completely new “Jay Jacket.”
Made from WORKERS’ original 15oz sweat fabric, this piece reinterprets the atmosphere of a vivid blue fleece jacket seen in a 1990s music video, rebuilding the idea in sweatshirt fabric.
It is available in two colors: the vivid VI Blue and the more understated Gray.
The generously relaxed body, high neck reaching toward the chin, elastic piping at the cuffs, and drawcord hem give it more volume than a typical sweatshirt and make it feel closer to light outerwear.
The WORKERS original sweat fabric is substantial yet soft and comfortable, with enough room to layer heavier pieces underneath.
The chest features an original logo in a color combination inspired by the atmosphere of the original reference.
Those familiar with the inspiration will certainly appreciate the reference, but even without that background, the silhouette and color balance make this a playful and distinctive WORKERS piece in its own right.
Next is the “Mountain Parka,” returning after a long interval.
This season, we have two versions: Black in classic 60/40 cloth, and Russet in 6.5oz cotton Ventile.
While the design remains rooted in the classic mountain parka, one of the biggest updates is the sleeve pattern.
Extra volume has been added from the elbows down to the cuffs, and that excess is controlled with tucks at the cuff, creating more freedom of movement than the appearance might suggest.
The waist pockets use a double-layer construction, combining top-entry storage with side-entry handwarmer pockets.
Corduroy is used on the areas that come into contact with the hands, and the same material is also used on the inside of the chin guard at the neck, adding comfort in subtle places.
The Black 60/40 Cloth version has the lightness and slightly rugged character associated with classic outdoor wear.
The Ventile Russet version, on the other hand, uses high-density plain-weave 100% cotton Ventile, giving it a crisp hand and a more natural cotton character.
Although the pattern is the same, the two fabrics create very different impressions, so this is a model we especially recommend comparing in person.
From the shirt lineup, we have the “Yama-Poke Work Shirt.”
This model is available in four fabrics: Indigo Chambray, Smoky Chambray, Blue Heather Chambray, and Indigo Check.
As the name suggests, the most noticeable feature is the distinctive mountain-shaped chest pocket.
The pocket is not merely decorative. It has added depth to hold thicker items and lowered sides at the opening, making the contents easier to grip and remove.
It is a good example of how the practical logic of vintage workwear can become a distinctive design element in its own right.
The silhouette also follows classic work-shirt thinking, with generous room through the body and shoulders to compensate for the lack of back pleats.
It is relaxed, but different from a modern oversized fit, keeping a natural balance as a traditional work shirt.
The front also features engraved metal buttons finished with vintage examples as reference.
All four fabrics are around 5oz in weight, making them easy to wear, but each one has a completely different yarn construction, weave, and surface character.
Because the design itself is so classic, this is a series that is especially enjoyable to choose by fabric rather than simply by color.
These three models make up the main October collection from WORKERS.
The final item is the “BOX SHIRT poplin,” a special mid-season release produced separately from the regular collection.
This shirt takes WORKERS in a slightly different direction from the workwear-focused pieces introduced above.
The body has a straight box silhouette without strong shaping, and the fabric is a refined, lightweight 100/2 cotton poplin.
Very fine filament thread is used for sewing, and flat-felled seams are used extensively throughout the garment.
Even from the inside, raw fabric edges are kept hidden, and the fine stitch count gives the shirt a noticeably more refined construction than a typical casual shirt.
Water-soluble interlining is used in the collar and cuffs. The shirt feels slightly firm when new, but after washing the adhesive releases and the structure gradually softens.
Natural Takase shell buttons add another subtle detail. The design is simple, but the more closely you look at the materials and construction, the more there is to appreciate.
The shirt is available in Blue and White.
It is delivered unwashed, and with repeated washing the fabric will develop natural wrinkles while the collar and cuffs gradually soften and become more relaxed.
We hope you enjoy not only the clean appearance when new, but also the way the shirt develops into a more casual and natural piece over time.
Looking at the October deliveries as a whole, the lineup covers a wide range: the Jay Jacket reworking a memory from the 1990s in sweat fabric, the classic Mountain Parka, the functional vintage-inspired Yama-Poke Work Shirt, and the carefully constructed BOX SHIRT poplin.
At first glance, they may seem like very different garments, but they all share the same WORKERS approach: rather than simply copying vintage clothing or old details, the brand reinterprets them with actual wear and everyday use in mind.
Fabric texture, sizing, and many of the smaller details are difficult to fully convey through images alone, so we also recommend seeing the pieces in person at the store if you have the opportunity.
