Jockey has launched its Jockey Outdoors Collection by Luke Bryan. The collection features long sleeve woven, corduroy and flannel shirts and shackets; a long-sleeve performance fishing shirt with vertical ventilation, rod holder tab on the left chest and a hidden microfiber cloth for easy sunglass cleaning; long-sleeve henleys and crews; graphic tees; and convertible, utility and flannel-lined pants.
“When my friends at Jockey first brought this up it was an easy yes for me,” Bryan explains. “One, they are just a wonderful company with values that align with mine and two, I have always been an advocate for the love of outdoors, so it was a no brainer. Once I got my hands on the product and felt the quality, I became even more fired up for this to show up in the stores.”
“As an avid outdoorsman and already a Jockey brand ambassador, Luke was the perfect fit for this next step for Jockey, allowing us to step back to our roots, incorporate our base layer expertise and develop the Jockey Outdoors Collection, which we think will be a hit with our consumers,” notes Jockey President and COO Mark Fedyk. “Luke was highly involved in the design and painstaking quality standards of the line. His attention to detail, demand for quality, and expectation of performance and comfort aligned perfectly with our brand pillars.”
The Jockey Outdoors Collection is available now. Through the end of 2022, Jockey will donate a portion of the collection’s sales to support adoptive and foster families across the United States.
