NEW ERA CREATES VINTAGE-INSPIRED CAPS FOR NAUTICA
New Era Cap Co. has launched its first-ever collaboration with classic American sportswear brand Nautica.
Anchoring the New Era x Nautica Collections are limited-edition “one of one” hats created from deconstructed vintage Nautica jackets. Each hat is unique and features elements from the jacket including patches, labels, pockets and hardware. As part of the collaboration, more extensive collections will be created featuring bold graphics inspired by Nautica’s classic Hydro Race, Scuba, and Color Block Jackets.
“The New Era X Nautica Collections are one of the most exciting partnerships of the season,” said Christina McAdam, lifestyle product director for New Era Cap. “The approach is both innovative and breathtaking; together, we have united the vintage history of Nautica with the contemporary cultural style of New Era Cap. It’s an exciting, fashion-forward partnership.”
“We are excited to collaborate with the New Era team on this limited-edition capsule collection,” added Steve McSween, vice president of global design at Nautica. “Our teams selected unique relics from our Nautica archive and New Era created fresh, collectible pieces. I’m excited that this partnership produced true one of a kind hats that celebrate our two iconic brands.”
The New Era x Nautica Collections launch on August 24, featuring iconic silhouettes inspired by Nautica’s most popular jackets – Hydro Race, Scuba, and Color Block.
