Premium menswear brand Rodd & Gunn is set to open its first-ever U.S. storefront and flagship at Fashion Island this October.

Located at 401 Newport Center Drive in Newport Beach, California the new store will feature the full range of men’s offerings from the brand including tailored shirts, knitwear, polo shirts, Italian leather shoes, luggage and accessories.

Rodd & Gunn’s fall line, inspired by the rugged coastline of southern New Zealand, yields luxuriously soft knits and functional fabrics with weather and wind resistant coatings, as well as outerwear with urban design, updated patterns, reversible jackets and re-imagined classics.

“Rodd & Gunn’s impressive attention to detail with its menswear – from its exceptional fabrication to 100-percent Italian cotton shirting and expertly crafted luggage – makes it a terrific addition to our collection of top-tier retailers at Fashion Island,” said Easther Liu, chief marketing officer for Irvine Company Retail Properties, Fashion Island’s parent company.

Mike Beagley, managing director for Rodd & Gunn, added: “We jumped at the chance to open a store at Fashion Island here in Newport Beach – we feel the Newport Beach community embodies the ideal Rodd & Gunn customer.”
