The renowned workwear brand 'Dickies,' known for its pursuit of practicality and minimalist aesthetic of 'only what is truly necessary,' resonates with the unpretentious and rugged charm of the No.1 Irish Whiskey (※1) 'Jameson,' which boasts a clean and refreshing taste through its triple distillation process without the use of peat. This shared ethos led to the realization of this collaboration.

The collaboration label is based on a design motif inspired by denim, with each label adorned by stitched borders, giving the 'Jameson' bottle a look reminiscent of donning workwear attire. The front label boldly showcases both 'Jameson' and 'Dickies,' powerfully expressing the collaboration between the two entities, while the words 'LIMITED EDITION' shine in gold lettering. The neck label features a graphic of the iconic 'Barrelman' associated with 'Jameson,' carrying the logo of 'Dickies,' adding another layer of significance to the design.

We invite you to seize this opportunity and savor the rich aroma and smooth flavor of 'Jameson,' meticulously crafted through triple distillation, with the limited design bottle 'Jameson Dickies Limited,' a collaboration between 'Jameson' and 'Dickies.'

[About Dickies]

C.N. Williamson and E.E. Dickey were the co-founders of DICKIES®, cousins who began producing workwear in the 1920s. This was a time when the whole nation was buzzing with the pursuit of the American Dream. Traveling to various 'work sites' across the United States, the two explored the specific requirements of work clothing for different jobs such as farming and mining. Their products, meticulously tailored to meet the needs of laborers, quickly gained popularity throughout the entire nation.

Their unwavering commitment to craftsmanship led them to create the world-beloved work pants '874,' initially designed for local Texas oil workers. Durable, resistant to stains, and suitable for individuals of all body types, DICKIES® identified with 'listening to the workers' voice.' This identity was upheld over time and laid the foundation for their policy 'FIT YOU, FIT YOUR JOB.'

Since the 1990s, the popularity of '874' expanded beyond work environments as West Coast skaters adopted it, penetrating various artistic circles. It became a part of cultural scenes, solidifying DICKIES®' position not only as workwear but also as a fashion brand.

[About JAMESON ]

The 8th century Ireland is known as the birthplace of whiskey, and Dublin's whiskey was acclaimed as the finest in the world during that time. 'Jameson' was created by John Jameson, who traveled from Scotland to Ireland, in the year 1780.

Crafted from barley, malt, and grain – all without the use of peat – and distilled three times, the rich aroma and smooth flavor of 'Jameson' have earned it the distinction of being the No.1 Irish Whiskey beloved across the globe.

In Japan, the flagship 'Jameson Standard' along with 'Jameson Stout Edition' and 'Jameson Black Barrel' are the three main offerings, showcasing the essence of 'Jameson'.
