Summary

  • Our Legacy Work Shop and ROA release fourth collection marking ROA's 10th and Our Legacy Work Shop's 20th anniversaries
  • Collection features monochrome designs in black and gray with reflective details for city and outdoor use
  • Range includes apparel from ¥15,400 to ¥225,500 JPY at Dover Street Market Ginza and brand websites

Our Legacy Work Shop and Italian footwear label ROA have released their fourth collaborative collection. The release marks two milestones: ROA's 10th anniversary and Our Legacy Work Shop's 20th anniversary.

The collection focuses on material quality and functional design. All pieces use a monochrome color scheme limited to black and gray. Reflective materials appear throughout the range, adding visibility without disrupting the minimal aesthetic. The design approach works for both city streets and outdoor terrain.

The apparel selection includes multiple layers and accessories. A leather shell jacket provides weather protection. A down jacket offers insulation for colder conditions. The range also features a long-sleeve T-shirt, jeans, and a beanie. Each piece carries woven labels marking the anniversary collaboration.

The footwear component centers on the Andreas Boots. ROA redesigned this style using waxed kudu leather. This material comes from African antelope hide known for durability. The waxed finish protects against moisture while allowing the leather to develop patina over time. Each pair will show unique wear patterns based on use.

Both brands share design priorities. Our Legacy Work Shop built its reputation on reinterpreting workwear through quality materials and construction. ROA established itself in performance footwear with technical innovation. The partnership combines these approaches. Previous collaborations between the two labels explored similar territory, refining their shared vision with each release.

The collection spans a wide price range. Entry pieces start at ¥15,400 JPY (approximately $100 USD). The highest-priced items reach ¥225,500 JPY (approximately $1,440 USD). This pricing structure reflects the materials and construction methods used throughout the range.

Three retailers carry the collection. Dover Street Market Ginza stocks the full range in its Tokyo location. ROA's website offers direct purchasing for customers worldwide. Our Legacy Work Shop's website provides another direct sales channel. All three locations launched the collection simultaneously.

The monochrome palette serves multiple purposes. Black and gray pieces integrate easily with existing wardrobes. The neutral colors hide dirt and wear during outdoor activities. Urban wearers benefit from the understated appearance. The reflective details add a functional element without bright colors or logos.

Material choices drive the collection's design. The waxed kudu leather on the Andreas Boots exemplifies this approach. Other pieces use technical fabrics selected for specific performance characteristics. The down jacket insulation provides warmth relative to weight. The leather shell jacket balances protection with flexibility.

Both brands maintain production standards throughout the collection. Our Legacy Work Shop manufactures pieces according to its established quality benchmarks. ROA applies its footwear expertise to the Andreas Boots. The collaboration maintains each brand's reputation while creating something distinct from their individual offerings.

The fourth collection represents continued evolution in the partnership between Our Legacy Work Shop and ROA. Each collaboration builds on lessons from previous releases. The anniversary timing adds significance to this range while the design priorities remain consistent with earlier work.
