MACK WELDON LAUNCHES SWIMWEAR

Men’s basics brand Mack Weldon has officially expanded its product offering to include swimwear. The collection launches today.

Available in board short ($98) and trunk ($88) styles, each pair comes in five different colorways (blue night camo, total eclipse, cliff, weldon blue, black) and is composed of anti-microbial, quick-drying stretch material. Both styles also boast a waterproof zip pocket to protect your valuables, a premium micro-mesh lining, and the Flex Fit waist, allowing wearers to go from water to land with ease.

“Mack Weldon swim was a true team effort,” says Matthew Congdon, the company’s creative director and vice president of design. “Some of us loved active swimwear, but it never looked so great out of the water. Some of us loved traditional swimwear, but conceded that the fabrics were stuck in the past. Much like we approach other great menswear basics, our goal was to combine all the latest technology with classic style.”

Last month, the company debuted AirKnitX, its first line of activewear products, which are being sold through upscale fitness gym Equinox and at mackweldon.com.
