Born X Raised and Union LA Team Up for “Born Gents” Capsule Collection
After paying homage to its Los Angeles legacy back at November’s 10th annual Sadie Hawkins celebration, Born X Raised is continuing to lean into its home city with another classically Californian collaboration. In collision with fellow SoCal label Union LA, the two brands have unveiled their highly-anticipated “Born Gents” capsule collection.
The collaboration pays tribute to the long-standing partnership between Born X Raised and Union LA, as well as the influential Gents of Desire crew. According to a shared Instagram post, the Gents of Desire first caught the attention of Union LA founder Chris Gibbs in 2005 while painting a mural on the back of the store. The two brands have since worked together on various projects, including a shoe drive to support the East LA Community Youth Center.
The “Born Gents” capsule features a range of cut-and-sew pieces, with an embroidered varsity jacket as the standout piece. The jacket boasts a green wool body with black leather sleeves, adorned with patches and the phrase “Everything with a touch of class” on the back. The collection will be available on December 7 at 12 p.m. PST on both Born X Raised and Union LA’s official webstores.
