Deftones have joined up with Dickies to launch a new range of merch, arriving on the heels of a bootlegged design that made the rounds for years.

Sacramento metal band Deftones have teamed up with Dickies to launch a new line of merch that went live yesterday (November 4). The official line arrives after years of a bootlegged Deftones x Dickies design making the rounds online.

Now, fans can get their hands on a range of official hoodies ($80) and T-shirts ($45), both of which feature Deftones’ name in the middle of Dickies’ classic red, blue, yellow, and white logo. Hoodies are available in either black or green, while the T-shirt comes in white, black, maroon, green, or blue.

News of the collaboration came just days after Deftones headlined the 2025 edition of their annual festival, Dia De Los Deftones, in San Diego over the weekend. The band debuted more songs from their latest studio album, Private Music.

Deftones will embark on a UK and European tour early next year, with a run of dates that include stops in London, Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester, Dublin, and Cardiff. The group will also perform at the inaugural Texas edition of festival Sick New World next year.

Over the summer, Deftones played a career-spanning set at London’s Crystal Palace Park, just a day after pulling out of their Other Stage slot at Glastonbury 2025.

Frontman Chino Moreno recently talked about Deftones’ 1997 sophomore album, Around the Fur, in an interview with NME this summer in which he said the album was probably his favorite from the band. “That record definitely stood the test of time,” he remarked.

He also spoke about his confidence since becoming sober and attending therapy in recent years.

“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 explained.

“Then once you break that wall down and realize, ‘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,” he added. “It’s more polished, and it’s more honest, in a weird way.”
