CARPET COMPANY AND THRASHER STUD A BALTIMORE WORK JACKET

Carpet Company and Thrasher Magazine release a joint collection at the Baltimore label's Station North store on Saturday, November 14, at 11am, with the online release following Sunday, November 15, at 8pm Eastern. The lead piece is a studded denim work jacket, at least the fourth work jacket Carpet has made since July and the first to carry another name beside its own.

Thrasher is in its 45th year and has spent 2026 lending its name to Nike SB and adidas Skateboarding. Its Baltimore partner arrives with a jacket program, a gallery and a habit of selling objects next to clothes, and the collection reads as the next entry in Carpet's own run.

Nine Categories Around One Studded Jacket

The Carpet and Thrasher list runs to nine categories: studded denim work jackets, embroidered hoodies, crewnecks, jerseys, single stitch tees, hats, stress toys, socks and keychains. No price, run size or colorway count has been given, so those details stay open until the Station North doors open Saturday.

Five of the nine are garments in the strict sense: the jackets, hoodies, crewnecks, jerseys and tees. Hats and socks are accessories, and the stress toys and keychains are objects, which is where the list sounds like Carpet and not like a standard magazine collab.

Carpet has been building toward that mix all fall. Drop 4 named 17 kinds of object when it went online November 1, from porcelain piggy banks and a wall clock to 20 pound fiberglass S TOOL stools in five colors, and only six of those 17 entries were clothes. Knife keychains were on that list too, which makes the keychain in the Thrasher capsule at least the label's second keychain release in a month.

Waxed, Overwashed, Chenille, Now Studded

Carpet's Season 22 has treated the work jacket as a running format rather than a one off. Drop 2 opened July 24 with a waxed appliqué work jacket in 16 ounce duck canvas, the label added an overwashed pinstripe denim work jacket for August 15, and Drop 4 brought a Bunny Rabbit chenille canvas version on October 31.

Studded denim makes four surface treatments on one garment in under four months. Each round has kept the work jacket shape and changed the face of it: wax in July, a washed pinstripe in August, chenille at Halloween, metal studs for Thrasher.

Jerseys have a track record here as well. Carpet added an Iron Ankh football jersey to Drop 2 on July 27, four days after that drop opened, so the jersey in the Thrasher list returns to a format the label already sells in Baltimore.

Saturday at 11, Sunday at 8pm Eastern

Carpet's outside collaborations now run on a fixed calendar. The Dinosaur Jr. collaboration opened in store Saturday, September 26, and went online Sunday, September 27, at 8pm Eastern, and Drop 4 opened in store Saturday, October 31, at 11am before going online Sunday, November 1, at 8pm.

Thrasher lands on that same template 49 days after Dinosaur Jr. That collaboration carried 187 hand screened decks, graphic thermals and a secret book with an internal compartment, so Carpet's two outside names this fall are a rock band and the skate magazine that has covered the label's riders.

The year's earlier outside partner was a footwear brand. Carpet's Salomon Habibi Express, on sale May 21, came in 1,720 individually numbered pairs, a count that encodes the label's warehouse address at 1720 Llewelyn Avenue in Baltimore.

45 Years In, Thrasher Signs Nike SB, adidas and Carpet

Thrasher started in San Francisco in January 1981, founded by Fausto Vitello and Eric Swenson largely to promote Independent Truck Company, and Guinness World Records lists it as the longest running skateboard magazine. Kevin Thatcher was its first editor.

The 45th year has been busy. Nike SB brought back the Thrasher Blazer Mid in black suede with gold accents, an inverse of the 2006 pair that marked Thrasher's 25th anniversary, scheduled to ship in June 2026. adidas Skateboarding, Thrasher and the Argentine Football Association released a World Cup capsule with an in store skate launch on May 31 and a global release on June 1, including a Thrasher x AFA colorway of the Glenburn with three stars for Argentina's three World Cup titles.

Before 2026, the magazine had worked with Supreme and the artist Neck Face on a 2024 collaboration and reunited with HUF for a Hawaii themed collection in November 2025. Next to Nike SB, adidas, Supreme and HUF, Carpet is a Baltimore label that sells from one storefront and its own site, carpetco.us.

BRAT Made Skateline in May 2024

Thrasher covered Carpet as a skate company before it shared a label with one. BRAT, Carpet's first full length video, landed in spring 2024 with Rashad Murray, Quinn Batley and Mason Padilla skating DC and Baltimore, and Thrasher ran it on its site and discussed it on its weekly Skateline news show in May 2024.

Carpet's own footprint has grown since then. The label opened its Station North flagship on April 11, 2026, and opened Gallery C on October 10 with a first show titled 10 Years of Bullsh!t, a decade of archived work.

Two and a half years after Thrasher put BRAT on Skateline, the magazine's name goes on a studded denim work jacket in the same city, in store Saturday at 11am and online Sunday at 8pm Eastern.
