"The CLOT x Levi’s® is a Chinese New Year celebration. Basically infusing the tiger print camo into a contemporary design to celebrate this year’s theme of the Year of the Tiger," shares CLOT Founder and Creative Director, Edison Chen.

Staying true to CLOT's East-meets-West ethos, the duo cherry-picked a number of iconic cues from their respective brand codes, blending them into a stylish and absolutely versatile collection that celebrates Chinese heritage of CLOT and the everlasting denim pioneered by Levi’s®.

From the iconic Type II design to the Chinese button knots, scroll down for closer look at the six iconic details you shouldn't miss in the latest CLOT x Levi's® collab.

1. Iconic Type II design

Levi's®'s iconic Type II Trucker was chosen as the design base for the both jackets in the CLOT x Levi's® denim collection. The men's version retains all signature elements of the 1953 original—including double-pleated details, two-flap pocket design, reverse pleats, bar tacks and button tab waist adjusters—whereas the women's version comes slightly cropped.  

2. Chinese button knots

Other than being a slightly cropped version of the original Type II, the CLOT x Levi's® Women's Type II Trucker Jacket is also adorned with Chinese button knots—a CLOT signature inspired by the knot-and-loop buttons used in ancient China— in a pinkish hue for extra flair.

3. Co-branded double-layered paper patch

Every piece in the collection comes attached with an emblematic Levi's® paper back patch featuring the 136-year-old Two Horse Trademark. Placed right next to it is a motif depicting a tiger gripping onto CLOT's logo as a playful display of the brand's Chinese roots. The patch is also sewn onto an additional layer of silk adorned with the Silk Royale pattern—another of CLOT's signature design drawn from ancient China.

5. Signature Red Tab
