Woolrich and Almond team up for second collaboration

By Ann Binlot Published April 29, 2016

Woolrich teamed up with lifestyle surf brand almond for their second collaboration. The second “Wax and Wool collection takes inspiration from the heritage of Woolrich, and the California coastal lifestyle of the made-in-California label Almond.

“All we have ever cared to do is make things we believe in, and work with people we enjoy,” said Almond founder Dave Allee.“Our collaboration with Woolrich fits nicely into our mantra and we’ve had the tremendous pleasure of working with the Woolrich team to design and manufacture select pieces that speak to the values and aesthetics of both brands.”

“Almond shares the Woolrich ethos to create timeless, essential products for outdoor loversfrom all walks of life —whether you’re an avid surfer or craftsman,” said Joshua Rich, executive vice president at Woolrich. “There’s something about this collection that will help you channel that laid-back Southern California lifestyle no matter where you wear it.”

The “Wax and Wool” spring/summer 2016 consists of everything you need to be out on the beach. The surfing sheep t-shirt features the logo Almond developed with Woolrich, that can also be found on five limited edition surfboards. The trekker twill short pays homage to surf culture’s iconic patch pockets and outdoor-inspired boot lace draw-string. Pre-washed, 100% cotton twill.

Each surfboard in the “Wax and Wool” collection was custom-built and hand-shaped by Almond, using graphics inspired by Woolrich, which includes the Pennsylvania brand’s classic buffalo check, “a topographic print of the Allegheny Mountains surrounding the historic Woolrich Woolen Mill, and an all over “surfing sheep” custom logo created for the collaboration.

Kith, Clarks, and Adidas release new sneakers

Although Kith has already gifted us plenty of chic collaborations throughout the year, the holiday season brings out the brand’s best. For their Kithmas Holiday Collection, the brand is pairing up with two favorites for a stunning end-of-the-year treat. Along with Clarks and Adidas, Ronnie Fieg’s Kith is bringing out all the stops for one final collaboration for the year. While these brands are no strangers to working together, their latest collaborative sneaker takes a classic silhouette and gives it a modern upgrade to add a luxurious streetwear touch to your wardrobe. As with most of Kith’s collaborations in 2024, there’s no doubt this new partnership will sell out quickly.

Once again taking on the Adidas Gazelle, Ronnie Fieg’s 8th Street by Clarks line gives the famed sneaker a unique twist. Along with the BW Army and AS350, these new models will include a cream-colored suede upper and the classic Adidas’ famed Three Stripes with a brown snakeskin finish. Each sneaker has cream-colored suede overlays and a crepe sole that distinguishes this collaboration. All three brands are included in the branding on the tongue and the inside heel. Along with these three new models, Kith has taken over the holidays with new collaborations each week to celebrate the season. All three models will be available on December 23rd, via Kith’s app, website, and stores. Fans of all three brands should act quickly as Kith’s collaborations tend to sell out faster than most. While we will likely see plenty more Kith collaborations next year, there’s no better way to round out this year than with three of your favorite brands in one.
