The Second Drop Of TommyXTimberland Puts Sustainable Innovations At The Forefront

In the second instalment of the collaboration between Tommy Hilfiger and Timberland, the two brands hone in on being good to the environment.

Even when two names in a collaboration seem unlikely, there’s usually some common ground to be found. That’s certainly the case with Tommy x Timberland, the project between American designer Tommy Hilfiger and beloved outdoor brand Timberland, which first dropped in October this year.

Both brands cited their cultural and style influence in the ’90s – the former’s proliferation of prep and the latter’s crossing over from outdoor gear to streetwear.

In a press release, the designer Tommy Hilfiger describes this second part of the collaboration with Timberland as a forward-looking continuation. “For this drop, we’ve taken the best of the past and used the innovations we have today to create and champion a shared vision of the future to pass on to future generations. Culture created our icons, and now we’re making them better together.”

This month, the 48-piece Tommy x Timberland collaboration is releasing a second drop. While the first focused on their combined style and cultural heritages, this second outing hones in on sustainability through eco innovations. It’s very au courant and also a great meeting of minds.

Timberland’s Hiker boots ground the footwear offerings of this collaboration.

In this drop, the two brands are presenting five sustainability innovations that they intend to further develop. They are: the elimination of waste using recycled and surplus fabrics (what they call “liability” fabrics); using natural dyes made from food industry waste; high-durability fabrics that will stand the test of time; responsible natural rubbers that are not a product of deforestation; and regenerative leather made with methods that reduce their impact on nature.

For this drop, Timberland and Tommy Hilfiger are showcasing five sustainability innovations that they intend to further develop.

Below, a look at some of the pieces from this collection that feature such innovations. These are available to shop now on both the Tommy Hilfiger and Timberland websites.

The puffer jackets in this collection – timely updates if you’re thinking about travel again – have their fillings made from surplus “liability” fabrics, some of which are cotton cut-offs from Tommy Hilfiger shirts. These are blended with at least 65 per cent of EcoLoft, a synthetic down-life material. These fabrics are also interesting because the end result is translucent, and semi see-through.

This parka in ripstop nylon gets its colour from a plant-based rice dye derived from rice husks. The food industry waste product is used to create the vivid beige khaki colour that is signature to Timberland.

As part of this collaboration’s goal to use super durable materials, select jackets and pants are made using recycled polyester and Gore-Tex, the latter being one of the most durable, waterproof materials around.

The outsoles on the Progressive Hiker boots in this collection are made from natural rubber. The important caveat: these are not products of deforestation, and do not damage the wildlife and biodiversity of rainforests where the rubber is tapped.

Other sustainability facts on these boots: plastic components like the TimberDry waterproof membrane are made from recycled plastic bottles, while the laces are entirely made from recycled plastics.

The leather on these black boots are sourced from farms using regenerative means. That means practices that help heal nature in the process – by helping soil absorb carbon, retain water and restoring biodiversity.
