Nautica Vintage Collection
The Australian exclusive Nautica Vintage Collection is set to make a legacy of its own.
Partnering with General Pants, the third edition of the Australian designed Nautica Vintage Collection showcases the best of heritage inspired American prep.
Pre-dating the J. Class emblem you know today was the Spinnaker logo. A more intricate sailing boat silhouette found on the early Nautica products that are now heroed as vintage finds. Just take a look at the Reissue Collection, a set of limited-edition styles brought back from the archives in their original form. The J. Class is overtaken by the Spinnaker, sitting on the pockets of men's tracksuit pants, chest of matching hoodies and at the neck of men's sweaters.
In the Australian exclusive Vintage Collection, the Spinnaker makes appearances on the men's jogger pants, back of hoods and placed front and centre on the classic men's caps.
Intermixed with the original Nautica logo is the double logo stack, an oversized N layered with NAUTICA taking over the back of men's pocket t shirts.
Naturally connected to our water inspired brand, and often seen in designs, is the nautical flag. In this limited-edition range, today’s prominent layouts are swapped with delicate icons in quality embroidery on t-shirts, hoodies, and cotton twill bucket hats. Brought back due to popularity from previous collections, the Explorer vintage map graphic is embroidered onto the front of the oversized, drop shoulder tees and on the leg of the quick-dry men's swim shorts. The collection of sportswear classics, including the rugby shirt, are crafted in quality fabric with vintage wash dyes to achieve the authentic lived-in finish associated with past eras.
With track shorts, jogger pants, hoodies and hats the 22-piece collection looks as natural on campus as on the pavement. Line up the oversized tees with your favourite jeans, the Rugby with rolled chinos and balance the relaxed cuff men's track pants with the matching sweater. Find your own inspiration to wear the Nautica Vintage Collection your way.
The Nautica Vintage Collection arrives in September and is available from nautica.com.au, General Pants, The Iconic and David Jones.
