Two iconic brands have joined forces to deliver a collection made with the best of nature’s performance materials.
The new Timberland x icebreaker launch collection may be small but it’s perfectly thought-out and designed to connect the urban and natural worlds, with a few core pieces making up the capsule.
icebreaker’s New Zealand-sourced merino wool is featured in all apparel styles, with a nod to Timberland’s rugged heritage and bold designs by blending durable fibres such as cotton and linen.
Colorways from Wheat Boot, Vibrant Earth, Sand, Chalk, and Onyx/Black pay homage to the brands’ respective iconic tones across both the apparel and footwear offerings, richly celebrated in the hero of the collection the merino cotton jacket, ideal for stylish layering year-round.
Offered in both men’s and women’s styles, the apparel collection includes a tee, jacket, chino shorts, a polo for men, and a tank top for women. The Timberland x icebreaker Merino ZoneKnit tee features a breathable, lightweight blend of merino wool and TENCEL in ventilating mesh areas.
The Merino Cotton Jacket features a durable cotton canvas blend for high abrasion resistance. The Merino Terry Chino Shorts feature 100% merino wool baby terry, while the Merino Linen Top features a lightweight, versatile blend of 70% merino wool and 30% linen.
In footwear, the Timberland x icebreaker Trailquest Low Waterproof Sneakers are fully waterproof with uppers constructed of both Premium Leather and ReBOTL fabric – a material containing at least 50% recycled plastic. The GreenStride comfort sole is made from 75% renewable bio-based EVA, while the quarter panel features icebreaker’s signature merino wool.
The two brands, born on different sides of the earth, are united by their commitment to craftsmanship, nature, and reducing impact on the environment. Embracing icebreaker’s ‘Move to natural’ mindset and Timberland’s work and outdoor heritage, the collection aims to bridge the gap between urban and natural environments.
“At icebreaker, nature is our biggest inspiration. It influences everything we do, from the fibres we grow to the functional pieces we design and create,” says Jelena Fursman, icebreaker global design manager.
“Collaborating with Timberland felt like a natural step – two brands united by a commitment to do better. This collection combines icebreaker’s natural fibres and soft geometry design lines with Timberland’s iconic heritage aesthetic, enabling us to create versatile, timeless, durable pieces for the outdoors and urban adventures.”
The Timberland x icebreaker collection is available globally now and can be purchased at icebreaker.com, timberland.co.nz, and selected retailers.
