After showing you the Mishka and Stussy collaborations for the Wellgosh 21st anniversary celebrations, we show you today their work with Carhartt. The design came from “famous Leicester landmarks”, the largest of which has to be the fat man himself, Daniel Lambert, weighing in at a massive 52 stone and 11 pounds! He is hailed as “Leicester’s largest son”, and his pants are in Leicester’s Newark House Museum. The tee is due to be released Saturday 21st November and will be available from the store or online at www.wellgosh.com.

A more detailed pic of the Carhartt x Wellgosh 21st Anniversary T-Shirt follows after the jump.

Carhartt has collaborated with Vestax on their Handy Trax USB Turntable. The handy piece of hardware lets you use again that old record collection along with your new equipment and is designed in a way, that makes it super easy to take and bring along. SlamJam will be releasing it in mid December.

The title “ALL CITY WRITERS” by Andrea Caputo describes a vast research project on the writing movement, focussing particularly on the process of its exportation from New York to the whole of Europe during the 80s. International crews, fanzine networks, inter-rail traveling are, among others, key chapters in which writers have become protagonists.

The whole project developed from the consideration that many of the stories that writers experience are just lost in time. Other than the pictures of their pieces, the adventures, and sensations a writer lives through often just disappear like so many other bits of oral culture. For that reason, “ALL CITY WRITERS” contains the largest contribution of texts ever published in this field. “ALL CITY WRITERS” tries to document the evolution and the consequences of a counter cultural phenomenon that over the course of a few decades provoked a change in the aesthetics and the rules of communication of modern day society.

Since Carhartt has been a steady supporter of editorial projects focussing on graffiti, be it in the form of books, magazines, and fanzines, it was only natural to collaborate on “ALL CITY WRITERS” and to support its distribution.

“ALL CITY WRITERS” will be released on 7 November accompanied by a press conference as well as a exhibition and a release party in Milan. The book will be available at selected bookshops and Carhartt retailers and of course at all Carhartt Stores. A European exhibition series with the participation of “ALL CITY WRITERS” contributors at selected Carhartt Stores will follow in early 2010.

Volume 2 also describes the historic background of the Carhartt Heritage Line, features interviews with photographer Matthias Willi who did the “friends” shooting for them, with DJ Benji B about his new Radio project, and Andrea Caputo, the editor of “Alll City Writers”, a book giving an exclusive view on the development of the graffiti scene since its very beginning until today. Additionally the Brand Book Volume 2 includes reports from their Skate- and BMX-Team like past tours and new Team Riders, all in all an exclusive mix about what’s going on within the Carhartt network.

For the second time Carhartt gets together with Montana on a limited edition spray can. Manufactured by Montana in Spain, the 400ml hardcore can is filled with the typical Carhartt orange color.

Limited to 1000 cans worldwide, they are available now in Carhartt flagship stores.

This season Carhartt got together with renowned bike brand WeThePeople to collaborate on a limited edition 24″ BMX Cruiser.

The clean white design in combination with the brown leather details came out really nice. The Cruiser is now available at all Carhartt Stores.

Carhartt will be introducing the “Amicitia” skateboard deck series very soon. Three team riders from the Carhartt team have collaborated with one of their artist friends in designing a skateboard. The result of this cooperation are three different boards, sized and shaped just like the individual team rider prefers them and topped off with a very personal artwork. Every board comes with a 40-page booklet containing the biography of both teh artist and the riders, including pictures, poems and of course more artwork.

As part of the series Scott Bourne worked with Jeremy Fish, Jan Kliewer with Stefan Marx and Daniel Hakansson with Stefan Narancic.
