The Padded Trucker Jacket is about revisiting a familiar piece of Quebec working culture. Inspired by the delivery drivers of the late 1970s and early 1980s, it brings back the character of a practical winter uniform, built for moving between the truck and the street throughout the day.

We wanted to apply what we have learned from years of developing fleece to a Workwear context. Built from 720gsm fleece and lined in waffle knit jersey, the weight sets it apart from a conventional hoodie and allows it to function almost like a jacket. An easy piece to keep close by whenever it gets colder.

A rugged heavyweight pant is an important part of the Workwear wardrobe. We washed the canvas to give the Carpenter Pant a more worn in character and immediate comfort while keeping the substantial construction that makes the archetype useful in the first place. Something you can actually work in, use for projects and rely on year round.

The plaid flannel overshirt is a good example of a Workwear piece that now lives naturally outside of Workwear. We returned to a plaid used throughout previous JJJJound collections and kept the construction familiar, allowing the archetype to work as easily in an everyday wardrobe as it does within this collection.

As we continue to build a complete JJJJound Workwear wardrobe, the glove feels as fundamental as the jacket or pant. The Leather Work Glove references one of the most basic objects of North American labor and remains a legitimate work glove first, rather than a fashion interpretation of one.

With a Dad-like shape, the weekend cap is meant to be the hat you grab when you want the world to think you are sophisticated or wealthy.

The appeal of the Tourist Caps comes from their lack of refinement. They aren't designed to be tasteful or to fit into a wardrobe, they exist as souvenirs, meant to be worn briefly, loudly, and without much consideration.
