American Eagle is teaming with Russell Athletic for a sport-inspired collaboration.
The collection features premium 450 gsm (grams per square meter) fleece with a peached face, brushed interior and slight stretch. Many pieces were developed using vintage Russell references to stay true to original fits and construction, with such details as hidden phone pockets, recreated vintage hardware, matched drawcords, and a signature double-bar stripe.
The color palette, inspired by Russell’s roots in university sportswear, is bright and collegiate.
Among the pieces are heavyweight fleece sets, fleece Henley hoodie, heavy AE T-shirt and matching heavyweight jersey shorts, porthole mesh football jersey inspired by an archival Russell piece, and stadium jacket, cardigan and gym-ready accessories.
