Leon Thomas launches Pholks Limited Edition capsule collection

Multi-talented instrumentalist, singer song-writer and producer, Leon Thomas, one of the most nominated artists at the 2026 Grammy Awards, has teamed up with lifestyle streetwear brand 40s & Shorties for a limited capsule collection marking the release of his new EP PHOLKS. 

Leon describes the collaboration as an opportunity to merge two authentic creative worlds, noting, “This collection came together the same way a lot of my music does, just following instinct and chasing whatever feels real. 40s & Shorties understood that energy immediately. We wanted to build pieces that feel lived-in, expressive, and honest, the same way the songs on PHOLKS came together. I’m excited for people to not just hear the project but wear a piece of the world that inspired it.”That same sense of shared vision resonated with the 40s & Shorties team.

Rooted in Leon’s evolution as an artist and his blend of rock, funk, soul, and experimental textures, the capsule translates the emotion and rhythm of his sound into apparel. Each item reflects his creative process, from distorted guitar riffs to smoky basslines, interpreted through layered fabrics, bold graphics, and the hand-crafted approach that anchors 40s & Shorties’ design identity.

The collaboration brings together the layered, genre-crossing energy of Leon’s music with the raw and unapologetic spirit that defines 40s & Shorties. Available HERE.
