AIME LEON DORE'S FW26 DELIVERY LEANS INTO LEATHER

Aime Leon Dore's Fall Winter 2026 lookbook leans on a phrase as simple as its caption: FW26. The clothes underneath it do more explaining than the words do.

Delivery 1 Landed August 21 in Three Cities

Aime Leon Dore released Delivery 1 of its Fall Winter 2026 collection on August 21 at its New York, London and Los Angeles flagships and online at 11 a.m. ET, opening the season with a New York-driven mix of outerwear, tailoring, knitwear and denim. The Suede Cafe Racer Jacket and a Technics Varsity Leather Jacket lead the outerwear category, backed by a Regatta Crewneck and Merino Wool Knit Cycling Polo in a late-year palette, continuing the fleece-lined windbreaker work the label already ran earlier in the year. Italian-made Crest Saloni loafers round out footwear, alongside accessories that include a Piano Ashtray.

Four Collaborators Share One Season

FW26 carries the label's continuing partnerships with Technics and GORE-TEX, plus a puffer jacket built with The North Face finished in leather yoke detailing. The season also marks Aime Leon Dore's first footwear collaboration with Swedish label Last Resort AB. Tailoring runs through woolen tweeds and earth-toned windowpane checks with double-breasted jackets, while denim adds double-knee carpenter pants and pinstriped jeans, giving the season a workwear throughline underneath its sportswear identity.

A Knicks Cap Nobody Has Confirmed

The lookbook's most-discussed detail isn't a jacket at all: a New York Knicks cap appears among FW26's accessories with no official partnership confirmed by either side. Aime Leon Dore has built its identity on New York specific references for years, and a Knicks collaboration would be a natural extension of that, but until the label or the team confirms anything, the cap remains a tease rather than a release. For a brand that has already locked in four confirmed collaborators this season, including Last Resort AB's actual debut in that footwear partnership earlier this year, one unconfirmed cap is a small mystery inside an otherwise fully mapped rollout.

Delivery 1 is only the opening chapter of FW26, and if the label's past seasons are any guide, whatever answers the Knicks question will likely arrive as its own drop rather than a footnote inside this one.
