Stüssy Tears Collection Turns Fishing Trips Into Fall Uniform

Stüssy and Tremaine Emory's Denim Tears put their Stüssy Tears collection on sale Friday morning, and the theme is fishing. Hypebeast's announcement coverage describes the Fall/Winter capsule as a fishing-focused range built from the trips Emory took with his father, Tracy, across New York when he was growing up. Tracy fronts the campaign himself, photographed at Canopus Lake, one of his longtime spots. The Stüssy Tears collection turns those memories into outerwear built for cold weather and wet days, a far cry from the skate tees and workwear jackets the two labels are better known for.

The range turns those outings into full weather-ready gear. The anchor is a two-piece set, the Fishing Slicker Jacket and matching Fishing Slicker Pant, modeled on the protective layers people actually wear on the water. Hypebeast's lookbook report notes that branding stays consistent across every outerwear piece, with the Stüssy Tears logo on the chest and Stüssy's double-S wreath printed large across the back, so each item carries a clear signature from both labels.

What the Stüssy Tears collection includes

The angler idea runs past the slickers. A Fishing Vest with a utilitarian, tackle-ready cut gives the lineup a second outerwear option, and the PFG Button-Up works as a fishing shirt that can sit under a jacket or stand alone. Sunglasses round out the accessories, completing the on-the-water uniform. The announcement teaser also showed a technical orange windbreaker with Stüssy's classic double-S logo framed inside Denim Tears' cotton wreath graphic, which Hypebeast singled out as the standout statement piece.

The most personal item in the Stüssy Tears collection is the New York Fishing Tour Hoodie. Instead of a tour-date listing, the graphic prints a roster of Tracy's fishing locations: the charter boat outings, stints on frozen lakes and afternoons along the city's jetties. It reads like a travel log of the family history behind the whole capsule, turning one man's favorite spots into a wearable map of where the collection came from.

Where to buy the Stüssy Tears collection

The drop went live Friday at eleven in the morning Eastern time. According to Hypebeast, the Stüssy Tears collection was available online through both stussy.com and denimtears.com, plus select Stüssy Chapter stores and Denim Tears flagship locations at 176 Spring Street and Lenox Square. Atlanta shoppers got an in-store option at African Diaspora Goods.

Japan buyers had their own path. The collection arrived the same day online and across Stüssy's eight Japan chapter stores, followed by a Denim Tears pop-up in Osaka running October 17 and 18, which means a second wave of shoppers is walking through it this weekend. The staggered rollout keeps the release feeling like an event rather than a single webpage, which suits a collaboration built on stories instead of hype cycles.

The fishing direction puts Stüssy Tears squarely in the season's broader turn toward functional outerwear. Stüssy has been working through utilitarian moods lately, including a workwear-focused drop with Junya Watanabe, and the fishing theme extends that thread into outdoor gear. Denim Tears, for its part, keeps grounding its collections in family history and storytelling, as it did with its summer collaboration honoring the late André Leon Talley, which Hypebeast covered in August. Pairing the two labels makes the fishing theme feel like a genuine meeting point: Stüssy's West Coast surf-and-skate heritage reinterpreted through Emory's narrative lens, with his father's actual fishing history as the source material.

The timing puts the Stüssy Tears collection in crowded company. It landed one day after the Supreme Martine Rose capsule dropped, making mid-October one of the busiest weeks of the season for headline collaborations. For shoppers who missed Friday's drop, the usual move is watching for restocks and the resale listings. The capsule looks made for people who would rather wear a story than a logo, and this one has a good story to wear: a father and son and the fishing trips they took together across New York, now printed on the back of a jacket.
