This month’s show welcomes the Paris-born, Tokyo-raised DJ, producer, label founder, and sound designer Alex From Tokyo (aka Alex Prat).

Living in Japan for 25 years during the 80s and 90s, Prat had his ear to the ground in Tokyo’s thriving electronic and dance music scenes, while also working for labels like F Communications and Yellow Productions. This fall, Prat will be releasing ‘Japan Vibrations Vol. 1′, a compilation which, he says, sounds like “the heartbeat of Tokyo: electric, eclectic, and always surprising.” For this episode of Carhartt WIP Radio, he has created a mix blending an array of styles from Japanese jazz and funk, to city pop and house.

A Focus on OG Fits

Silhouettes inspired by the archives. A nod to Carhartt history, OG Fits draw from archival styles, as signature Dearborn Canvas and denim items are reworked in an original loose fit, which is slightly more boxy and oversized. These include silhouettes such as the OG Detroit Jacket, OG Active Jacket, and OG Chore Coat. Each style features archetypal details, including triple stitching, utilitarian pockets, and gold-tone zips. Finishes, meanwhile, range from ‘rinsed,’ which offers a deep color and softer feel, to heavier stone washes that result in a unique, worn-in appearance.
