PacSun launched a collaboration collection with Eddie Bauer under A$AP Worldwide and guest artistic director A$AP Rocky on Tuesday.
The capsule is comprised of apparel pieces like T-shirts, hoodies and sweatpants, as well as a down parka, rain jacket and a camo polar fleece offering with a woodsy color pattern. The collection is available at PacSun stores and online and prices range from $40 to $200.
According to the California-based retailer, Rocky is a longtime fan of the brand and pulled from the Eddie Bauer archives for inspiration. “Eddie Bauer is such an iconic brand with rich heritage, and I thought it would be cool to revisit their archive and reimagine some of their core styles,” he said in a statement. “I’m always down for camo, and the pieces work not only in the outdoors but are good for cozy travel now that the world is moving a little bit more than last year.”
