Sean Wotherspoon and Gap Debut Archive-Inspired "Re-Issue" Collection

Sean Wotherspoon and Gap are set to release their first full collaboration, the archive-inspired “Re-Issue” collection. Following a Wotherspoon-curated assortment of vintage Gap pieces that dropped in June, the “Re-Issue” offering consists of jackets, tees, hoodies and more, all with cuts, colors and graphics pulled from Gap history.

Standouts from the 11-piece collection include Wotherspoon’s colorful, reversible iteration of the Gap Arctic Light Fleece, a custom zipper-front denim jacket with a corduroy collar, hoodies with a collar that references crewneck sweatshirts plus an all-over embroidered print that shows off pieces from the collection and pants — denim and corduroy — that feature similar embroidered details. Other pieces include an anorak, corduroy hats, graphic T-shirts and even a custom corduroy bear figure.

“Reversible nylon and fleece jackets have always impressed me since I was a kid, seeing my dad wearing them and seeing them on mannequins at the Gap store where my mom worked,” said Wotherspoon, discussing his personal favorite pieces from the collection. “I knew this was the silhouette I wanted to adapt. I wanted to perfectly recreate some of my favorite Gap classics, paying attention to quality, texture, and color.”

Wotherspoon will throw an event in Berlin on October 9 to kick off the collection’s rollout, with a global drop following shortly thereafter and a Japan drop, both in-store and online, going down on October 14. Prices range from ¥3,990 to ¥26,900 JPY (approximately $27-$180 USD).
