There are two Ts you need to remember this fall: Tommy and Timberland. The iconic brands are collaborating this season with a unisex capsule that celebrates their respective legacies and paves the way toward future triumphs. Sportswear is reimagined for today’s urban scene with eco-conscious touches. The structural puffer jacket is stuffed with cut-offs from Tommy Hilfiger’s Ithaca shirt—look closely and you’ll see the signature stripes—while lightweight camp gear is crafted from highly durable GORE-TEX fabric.
Meanwhile, a new twist on the classic 6-inch Timberland boot is rendered in different hues of stone and cream, with a sole created from responsible rubber that doesn’t contribute to deforestation. In short, it’s the antithesis to fast fashion. Of course, neither of the brands would be quite the same without their signature logos; this season a hybrid symbol is born, riffing on Timberland’s tree logo with Tommy Hilfiger’s red white and blue palette. Totally Tommy, totally Timberland, totally timeless.
