The Tommy Hilfiger x Pendleton collaboration sees the two all-American heavyweights converge to create a collaboration that fuses the duo’s signature design codes. The collaboration sees Tommy Hilfiger’s preppy sensibility meet Pendleton’s pedigree in the textile realm, with a limited-edition collection that exudes classic Americana.

Based in Portland, Oregon, textile manufacturing company Pendleton has become known for its durable workwear and outdoor wear, executed in fabrics spun and woven in-house. Pieces from Pendleton are easily distinguished by their bright geometric patterns, which were originally designed under the advisory of Native American craftspeople. Here, the geometric patterns meet the Tommy Hilfiger ‘TH’ monogram, with the latter taking a largely understated backseat to the colourful designs of the former.
An oversized peacoat crafted from recycled wool and cotton sees the TH monogram hold court on a dramatic spread collar, while colourful vertical stripes create a striking effect. The vertical stripes pattern extends across the collaborative collection, taking form on a wrap mini skirt, straight jeans, button down shirt, and chinos. Elsewhere, a boxy puffer jacket gets the fleecy treatment, forgoing the usual nylon for a toasty, fluffy finish. Several pieces within the collection get the Pendleton makeover, with the textile brand’s soft double-kin wool acting as the perfect inner layer.
While shirt dresses, blazers, and denim feature throughout, the pièce de résistance of the collection is inarguably the range of knitwear; including rugby jumpers, crewneck sweaters, and monogrammed scarves. It’s here that Pendleton’s technical prowess in textile manufacturing shines, with ultra-soft, warm wool acting as the ideal canvas for the design signatures of both brands.
There are also select accessories; the TH monogram makes its way onto a Pendleton blanket, beanie, and scarf, while a bucket bag is adorned with a geometric pattern rendered in Tommy Hilfiger’s identifiable red, blue, and white colour signature.
As a collaboration that keeps it in the family (or at least the country), it’s only fitting that Tommy Hilfiger x Pendleton be modelled by one of our favourite iconic American families. The Tommy Hilfiger x Pendleton campaign features half-siblings Devon and Steve Aoki, pictured with their families for a wholesome campaign shot on the beach.
The collaborative collection is priced from $149AUD and available via the Tommy Hilfiger and Pendleton webstores.
