TORONTO, Canada & WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., August 2, 2022 (Newswire.com) - Nantucket Whaler, the New England lifestyle apparel brand inspired by a lifetime at sea and the heritage of Nantucket Island, has partnered with Tip Top, the leading retailer of men's clothing in Canada, with initial collections that are launching for Fall/Winter 2022 and Spring/Summer 2023.
For over a century, Tip Top has provided quality suits and related accessories at great value and with perfect fits. By adding the Nantucket Whaler brand to its selections, Tip Top can provide a sportier casualwear to complement its core suit lineups.
"Tip Top has a rich history in Canada, so it's an honor to be partnering with them on building the Nantucket Whaler business," said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global Licensing, the company that manages the Nantucket Whaler brand. "Alongside our Canadian
joint venture partner, Grand National Apparel, we continue to seek strategic opportunities with global industry leaders as we look to expand our footprint, engage more consumers, and increase innovative product offerings with our Nantucket-inspired lifestyle brand."
The exclusive Nantucket Whaler collection focuses on heritage-inspired styles incorporating the brand's signature garment dyed and washed fabrics to create authentic and rugged looks that pair perfectly with the merchandise available in Tip Top locations across Canada. Blending functional design with technical details, the Men's Fall/Winter 2022 Collection offers timeless staples with modern updates, such as vintage washed Denim Shirts, midweight French Terry Crewnecks, and 360° Stretch 5-Pocket Twill Jeans, all in a beautiful array of natural weathered colors.
