ENDRIME® publishers Sadia Rafique and Mohsin Sajid are proud to present WORKER, a photographic collection by renowned photographer, vintage workwear collector, and specialist Cory Piehowicz — who has been collecting for over fifteen years.
“I started putting together WORKER over fifteen years ago. Over the years, it has evolved from just being a book about guys in workwear to so much more.”
— Cory Piehowicz, October 2025
This highly anticipated photographic book will premiere at Rin Tanaka’s premium denim, vintage trade show, “Inspiration Tokyo,” in early November 2025.
A worldwide release will follow at the end of November 2025 via ENDRIME.com, with availability in leading global fashion bookstores soon after.
WORKER spans over 370 pages of historical research — every item found and photographed by Cory himself is from the Cory Piehowicz Collection, unless otherwise noted. He has painstakingly unearthed rare, historic, and early photographs, pairing them with companion garments and artifacts from the same period, bringing this already rare collection to life and providing rich historical context to each piece.
The book also features mine-found relics, many sourced from flea markets and fellow collectors — though most were personally discovered by Cory. Included are over 70 historical workwear garments, some predating the 1870s (before the invention of modern blue jeans), and more than 350 photographs ranging from Cabinet Cards and Cartes de Visite (CDVs) to Real Photo Postcards (RPPCs), Tintypes, and stereoscopic photo cards.
RRP: £300.00 GBP
*PLEASE NOTE: Delivery is expected to be at the end of November/early December, with worldwide shipping via DHL.

We have known Cory Piehowicz for over 15 years and have always shared a mutual respect. Over the years, we’ve spoken on many occasions and even featured Cory on our Denim Think Tank Webinar during the COVID outbreak: “Chronicles of Denim Archaeologists – What’s the Importance of Having a Denim Archive?” (October 2020).
This session included many of the leading figures in the world of vintage denim and workwear.
We have long admired Cory’s exceptional photography, as well as his remarkable collection of rare garments and historical images.
In April 2025, while attending Rin Tanaka's Inspiration in Los Angeles, we reconnected with Cory. Naturally, the conversation turned to Cory producing his own photographic archive collection book. Cory mentioned that he had gathered enough material for the first volume of the series and was seeking a publisher to help bring the project to life.
We offered our expertise through ENDRIME®, providing support with graphic design and layout. Coincidentally, Sadia Rafique, our Art Director, had just completed another vintage archive publication titled “Vintage Style Research," which has just been translated into Japanese.
Sadia took the lead as Creative & Art Director, Graphic Designer, and Editor for WORKER, collaborating closely with Cory over four months during the summer to bring the book to completion.
A great deal of care went into the book’s presentation—from the thoughtful layout and text placement to the bespoke canvas cover, foil embossing, and custom woven band. It was decided that two editions would be produced: one exclusive to the Japan premiere, and a worldwide edition to follow shortly after. We have already received requests to publish a Japanese translation of the book.
We are proud to add another strong title to the growing ENDRIME® Library of denim and workwear inspiration books—dedicated to education, history, and preservation. We are confident that WORKER will inspire denim collectors, enthusiasts, and the next generation of designers discovering our industry.
