The Sacramento metal band shared details of their team-up with the US clothing brand on social media this week, ahead of it going live on their official store yesterday (Tuesday November 4).
According to Consequence, the official line arrives after a bootlegged Deftones x Dickies design made the rounds for years.
Fans can now get their hands on a range of hoodies (priced at $80/£61.40) and T-shirts ($45/£34.54), both featuring Deftones’ name in the middle of Dickies’ iconic red, blue, yellow and white logo.
The hoodies are available in either black or green, while the T-shirt comes in white, black, maroon, green or blue.
Check out a preview of the collection in the announcement post below.
The new collab with Dickies was launched just days after Deftones headlined the 2025 edition of their annual festival, Dia De Los Deftones, in San Diego, California, last Saturday (November 1). Here, Chino Moreno and co. debuted more songs from their 10th and latest studio album, ‘Private Music’, and played ‘White Pony’ deep cut ‘Street Carp’ live for the first time since 2019.
Deftones will head out on a UK and European headline tour early next year. The forthcoming run of dates features a show at The O2 in London, as well as stops in Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester, Dublin and Cardiff. Find any remaining tickets here.
The group are also set to perform at the inaugural Texas edition of US festival Sick New World next year.
This summer, Deftones played a huge career-spanning gig at London’s Crystal Palace Park – just one day after pulling out of their Other Stage slot at Glastonbury 2025 at the last minute.
In a glowing five-star review of ‘Private Music’, NME wrote: “Rather than just hang off the legacy of the immaculate classics ‘Around The Fur’ and ‘White Pony’, the Sacramento art-metallers have spent the 21st Century boshing out banger after banger as arguably the most reliable band in rock.”
It added: “‘Private Music’ once again finds the band as masters of beauty and brutality rolling over the horizon in one stunning but powerful storm. Batten down those hatches, throw up those horns, and lean in close.”
In other news, Moreno recently looked back on Deftones’ 1997 second album, ‘Around The Fur’, saying it is possibly his “favourite record” from the band. “That record definitely stood the test of time,” he said.
During an interview with NME this summer, the frontman spoke about how Deftones’ music had always been vulnerable, pointing back to ‘Mascara’ on ‘Around The Fur’ as proof. The frontman also admitted that his confidence to lay himself out in a love song had grown.
“Honestly, I’m no expert in mental health, but speaking for myself, doing therapy and sobriety as well – which has been a big thing for me to achieve in these last few years – obviously it was kind of scary in the beginning,” he told us. “Then once you break that wall down and realise, ‘Oh, I’m probably more creative than I’ve been in the past and a little bit more in tune with what’s going on, with my emotions’. Now I think it’s easier. I used to believe that maybe I had to be in an altered state of mind to have this creative thing.
“Overall, having a bit of clarity and still being able to be creative – it feels more pristine. It’s more polished and it’s more honest, in a weird way.”
