Lacoste has teamed up with five iconic outerwear brands for a winter outerwear capsule collection.
The brand invited Pyrenex, Gloverall, K-Way, Alpha Industries and Tailor Toyo for its 'Winter Icons' project that saw all of them collaborate at once to reimagine the Lacoste wardrobe through their iconic pieces. Together with Lacoste, the end result is five iconic coats for winter: a bomber jacket, raincoat, down jacket, jacket, and coat, all of which are unisex.
Lacoste x Tailor Toyo
Since the 1940's Tailor Toyo has been producing bombers inspired by the combination of Japanese culture and American baseball. For the new collaboration (pictured above), the brand reworked Lacoste's signature crocodile and added its signature dragon motif and embroidered flowers on the front while on the back legendary tennis player Rene Lacoste is honored. The unisex double-sided bomber jacket is reversible in shades of blue and cream.
Lacoste x K-way
The famous K-Way windcheaters, which was first introduced in 1965 by the brand's founder Leon-Claude Duhamel has been updated. This time around, the fabric comes with a special coating and has a water-repellent effect, with the breathable material providing maximum comfort. The basic model comes in an over the head version in yellow, green and navy, in sizes ranging from XXS to XL for 180 euros. There's also a children's version only in yellow from 85 euros.
Lacoste X Gloverall
Founded in 1951, the British brand is best known for its duffle coat which is inspired by the outer uniforms of the British Navy. For the collaboration, Gloverall introduced a refined pea coat model inspired by the Royal Navy. The key detail is that the sleeve is decorated with an embroidered Lacoste symbol and the coat is made of thick Melton wool. It is available in sizes ranging from XXS to XL for 750 euros.
Lacoste x Alpha Industries
Alpha Industries is best known for being an equipment-maker for the American army and its original 'bomber' or 'flight jacket'. In 1959 it made the transition to a fashion label, making its products available to the public. For Lacoste, a unisex color-block aviator jacket in dark blue has been introduced. The sleeve is complemented by a bright patch pocket, zipper pullovers adorn the logos of both brands. It is available from XXS to XL for 260 euros.
Lacoste x Pyrenex
The family-owned brand was founded in 1859 in southwestern France and is a pioneer in puffed down jackets. In the offering is an oversized unisex short cut jacket in dark blue and burgundy, filled with feathers of various kinds and goose down for 650 euros. A key detail is the horizontal stripes with logos.
The Lacoste 'Winter Icons' capsules by Pyrenex, Gloverall, K-Way, Alpha Industries, and Tailor Toyo are available now on the Lacoste e-shop and in physical stores.
