DICKIES x NYS It’s True What They Say LS Tee – Yellow: New York Sunshine was founded by John “Sunshine” Margaritis on Long Island in New York. In the Spring of 2021, the Install Team at New York Sunshine set out to create an installation art piece in the high desert of Marfa, Texas that would be the foundation for their collaboration with Dickies. The idea was to use the installation to showcase the durability of Dickies iconic twill fabric by wrapping a stick-frame house in it and letting it wear in the elements until the fall. The twill fabric performed as expected, and the Install Team learned about the brutal nature of summer Texas sunshine. This installation experience inspired the foundation for the Sun Dyed in Texas Collection – a New York Sunshine x Dickies collab. The New York Sunshine x Dickies It’s True What They Say Long Sleeve T-Shirt shares that experience with the world, using Dickies long sleeve, heavyweight tee as a canvas. Durable with reinforced cuffs and collar, it’ll make a statement today, next year, and beyond.

THIS IS A COLLAB: Anyone who has been to Texas in the summer knows a thing or two about sunshine. None no better than the team at NEW YORK SUNSHINE. Renowned for creating thought-provoking installation art that fuses craftsmanship, fashion, and culture, John Margaritis and his New York Sunshine Install Team put Dickies iconic blue twill fabric to the test by wrapping a custom-built stick-frame house in the high desert of Texas and letting it wear down through a brutally hot Texas summer. Turns out, it’s spectacularly durable. This experience inspired the Sun Dyed in Texas collection, which celebrates our evolving modern culture while recognizing the need to hold onto Dickies roots
