Wasps Appoint Pins & Stripes as Official Tailors
September 1, 2014
Aviva Premiership team Wasps have announced a partnership today with Pins & Stripes who will become the Club’s Official Tailors.
As part of the partnership, Pins & Stripes will provide Wasps with their formal, smart casual and outdoor clothing as well producing an exclusive range for retail.
The partnership goes much further than the traditional tailoring relationship so often seen applied to club rugby. Over the term, Pins & Stripes and Wasps will build a full licensed range and embark on an ambitious project to establish the Wasps brand within the casual clothing space.
Wasps Commercial Director Luke Organ said, “Pins & Stripes have already provided a fantastic service to many of our players for whom ‘Ready to Wear’ is not an option due to their athletic form.
“We are really pleased to be able to cement a formal partnership for the whole Club and it will be great to see the licensed range come to life and delivered through retail partner channels.”
Pins & Stripes founder Rupert Williams added, “This is a brilliant opportunity to team up with one of the biggest names in European Rugby and produce a range which will benefit fans and players alike.
“The chance to deliver a commercially successful, licensed range of clothing is rare and we are excited to be able to work with a brand of Wasps stature to offer this to fans and the wider market.”
Wasps also revealed there would be more partnerships concluded over the coming weeks.
