FROM THE ARCHIVES: Japanese label Workers inspired by retro L.L.Bean

Japanese denim purist label Workers continues to reintroduce archival elements with newly reinterpreted, thought-provoking denim and outerwear pieces.

Inspired by L.L.Bean's vintage Parker Warden Jacket (at left),the Workers Warden Parka, which will be available to overseas buyers in April, has a less boxy shape that more follows the pattern of the body.

Pockets look about the same but have been repositioned. The water-repellent oxford cloth will also come in an updated floral pattern.
