Vault by Vans Enlists Nigel Cabourn for Military-Inspired Fall 2021 Capsule
A range of vintage-inspired footwear and apparel items.




Nigel Cabourn brings his elevated DIY aesthetic to the latest Vault by Vans series.
Nigel and his collaborator Emilie Casiez, who runs his womenswear line, take inspiration from military bags and clothing from the ’40s to ’70s, to create rugged and functional unisex apparel and footwear. Featured pieces utilize thick textiles, custom jacquards, brushed and chipped metal vent holes, custom camp linings, hand-drawn details, and decorative stitching.
Multiple footwear models are introduced lead by the Vault OG Authentic LX in three new colorways including army camouflage, natural/navy, and colorblocked mixed navy. Each OG Authentic LX features custom details including a red foxing strip, natural canvas overlays, and frayed fabric finishes. Apparel items are highlighted by a Chore Coat, graphic crew neck fleece pullover, and Loden Green cap.
“I am very pleased to introduce my first collaboration with Vault by Vans,” Nigel Cabourn shared in a press release. “This exciting unisex collection is filled with fun designs inspired by my recent trips to California and Japan. Combining surf style with classic Cabourn military, a strong colour story, and graphical influences, I really think we have come together to achieve a great, relaxed, après surf-inspired collection.”
The Vault by Vans x Nigel Cabourn series launches on October 9 at the Nigel Cabourn website and select Vault by Vans retailers.
