DODGEVILLE, Wis., July 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- While we
celebrate our great nation's independence, Lands' End is proud to
honor the impact our own founding fathers had on American style by
offering a historically inspired, limited edition coat. The
exclusive Special Edition Coat is designed for both men and women,
representing historic style and made of the finest wool and premium
stamped brass buttons. To honor the date of the nation's
independence, Lands' End will offer 1776 coats for men and women
available for pre-order starting on the Fourth of July at www.landsend.com/1776. Each
coat will feature a distinctive label marking the limited-edition
sequence in the line.
"The iconic Special Edition Coat is a nod to the classic
colonial flair worn by our early American leaders with updated
details and craftsmanship. The versatile coat can be buttoned-up
two different ways, for a more traditional or modern look," said
Federica Marchionni, CEO of Lands'
End. "Here at Lands' End, we pride ourselves on our company's
history and the legacy of our 'founding fathers'. Introducing this
classically styled, double-breasted coat is another way we can
honor both our country's heritage and our own."
Lands' End Founding Fathers
Lands' End's 'founding father,' Mr. Gary
Comer, surrounded himself with great talent that shared in
his creative style. One of those talented individuals was Mr.
Sam Fink. Sam Fink set the tone for Lands' End's creative
approach by designing our original company logo and is considered
by many as one of the company's founding fathers alongside
Gary Comer.
Sam Fink was a celebrated author,
calligrapher and illustrator known for his patriotism and love of
American history. His latest book before his passing in 2011,
The Declaration of Independence: The words that made
America, was inspired by The Declaration of Independence
reprinted annually in the July 4th
issue of The New York Times. He
brought the historical document to life through vivid illustrations
and beautiful hand-lettering. Customers should order early,
while supplies last.
"It is with great honor that Lands' End will include a
complimentary copy, while supplies last, of Sam Fink's book with pre-orders of the Special
Edition Coat," said Marchionni. "Sam would have been
celebrating his 100th birthday this year, and we are
honored to share his incredible talent with our customers, again,
in the spirit of Independence
Day."
Lands' End Special Edition Coat
The limited edition refined wool coat is available for women in
a flattering, longer-length silhouette in two color options: navy
with red trim or navy with ivory trim. The men's modern,
double-breasted pea coat silhouette is available in navy with ivory
trim or navy with charcoal gray trim. The one-of-a-kind
Special Edition Coat retails for $499.
