British footwear institution Clarks Originals will soon launch an apparel collection, a first in the brand’s 200-year history.
The debut capsule is unisex and debuts the brand’s expansion into heavyweight cotton tees with boxy cuts, structured logo caps, and embroidered cotton socks.
The t-shirts are the visual centerpiece, each carrying bold illustrative graphics across the back that pull from Clarks’ legendary catalog. The silhouettes at the heart of the graphics are the Wallabee, the Desert Boot, and the Desert Trek — three shoes that carry much of the brand’s fashion identity. Colorways run through earth tones like blue, green, burgundy, brown, and span seven options total.
One notable graphic includes the message, "The Whole Family Enjoys Walking in Wallabees," paired with illustrations of a family walking a marsupial mammal as if it were a pet — a nod to late-1960s Wallabee Family promotional artwork from the Clarks archive.
The collection drops this Friday. Shop it at on the official Clarks website and select stores worldwide.
