Heritage jean brand Levi’s is giving grown men a chance to evolve their fan pride with sports-inspired apparel that looks mature and cool. The brand first dipped its toes into the sports world with an NFL Collection of clothing that mixed team pride with everyday clothing that straight-up looked stylish and felt like quality apparel (not those cheap jersey shirts sold at stadiums).

As radical as this was, it left NBA fans with nada.

… Until now.

Levi’s launched its first-ever Levi’s NBA Collection for five teams: the Golden State Warriors, New York Knicks, Chicago Bulls, Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers. If your favorite team isn’t on this list, don’t worry. Levi’s did a similar roll out with its NFL Collection, starting small and then expanding to every team in the league.

The NBA Collection was designed for the fan looking to express their personal style, without sacrificing team spirit— making use of iconic Levi’s silhouettes and pops of team branding.

Anchored by a sweet Trucker Jacket, the full NBA Collection ranges from $78-$400, and features vintage cues like chain stitching and basketball-inspired leather patches.

Alongside the Trucker Jacket is a classic crewneck piece that has team chenille applique, a nylon Club Coat with team prints, a western shirt with team logo and colors, and a leather Sherpa that puts a vogue twist on today’s NBA team logos.

Levi’s is selling the collection only at its online store, and brick-and-mortar retailers Undefeated, RSVP Gallery, Concepts, and Bosk.

Vince. reinvents the cashmere sweater for 2024 by going vintage
Vince looks back to push style forward
Vince Johnny Collar Cashmere

The gold standard of the sweater wardrobe has been the cashmere sweater for years. It is soft, warm, attractive, and as luxurious as anything you could ever want. Cashmere is by far the king of any fabrics in the industry, and while you will see it in everything from sport coats to overcoats, the sweater is where it belongs. Vince. is a brand that lives in luxury, taking its California vibes and providing understated luxurious garments for men and women that embody the allure of the West Coast, most specifically Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and Orange County. This season, in the heyday of the old-school vintage looks, Vince. is reaching back into the past to push the cashmere sweater forward with one classically cool feature.
Adding the Johnny Collar

Johnny Mathis is one of the most legendary musical icons the industry has ever seen. Along with Bob Dylan, Barbra Streisand, Tony Bennett, Billy Joel, and Bruce Springsteen, he carries the distinction of being among the longest-tenured musicians under the Columbia Records banner. He also is one of only four artists (Frank Sinatra, Barry Manilow, and Prince) to have five albums on the Billboard Charts at the same time. However, in the fashion world, he is known primarily for the Johnny Collar, a buttonless open collar similar to a polo. Vince. reaches back to the rise of this collar in the 50s and 60s and brings it to today so you can update your cashmere sweater in the most stylish way this season.
