Jeffrey x Columbia Sportswear
Eddie Bauer teamed up with Nigel Cabourn (see slide 7), North Face got into the sleeping bag with Supreme. There’s that Adam Kimmel x Carhartt thing, and Levi’s x Filson.
And now that Jeffrey (as in Kalinsky, he of the extremely cool self-named boutiques in New York and Atlanta, and more recently, of Nordstrom) has teamed with Oregon-based Columbia Sportswear, it’s clear the designer collaboration thing has taken to the great outdoors.
Worth noting: Kalinsky went to Columbia and pitched the team-up, saying he wanted to create an urbanized set of outerwear for himself and for his clients. The collection is sold at Jeffrey and at Nordstrom, but not at Columbia’s outpost near Third Ave.
Good thing you can check the slideshow here for an introduction.
