The KITH Academy Collection fabricates vintage collegiate-style apparel silhouettes with quality seasonal materials, while adding functionality and a contemporary fit. A wide assortment of original garments are offered to fill the void between on-campus style and modern street aesthetic." alt="-36">

Outerwear arrives in two forms - the Exeter Fishtail Jacket and the Hartford Hoody. The Exeter Fishtail Jacket ($275 USD) may be the most detailed KITH apparel item to date, and is constructed with a very soft waterproof brushed poly-nylon. This piece is vastly functional, evidenced by details such as: a hidden reversed two-way zipper, a wire-lined extendable hood, an adjustable torso, and a rear fishtail hem that can be customized by interior snap closures. The other outerwear piece is the Hartford Hoody ($120 USD), which is a classic pullover hoody made from 380 gsm 100% cotton french terry. The front features the Academy Us Logo as well as a kangaroo pocket. 

Tops include the Norwalk Jersey, the Stamford Jersey, and two modern interpretations of the classic rugby shirt - the Greenwich Rugby and the Duxbury Rugby. The Norwalk Jersey ($125 USD) is an interpretation of the hockey jersey, and is composed of 380 gsm 100% cotton french terry with contrast color striping and the KITH Academy Horse Logo bannered on the chest. The other athletic-themed top, the Stamford Jersey ($90 USD), opts for a baseball-inspired design. The body is cotton denim with metal button closures, and includes a minimal 3M KITH Classic logo on the placket. Tonal cotton-jersey spandex sleeves are layered beneath the jersey, while a canvas KITH Academy tag is seen on the front near the contour hem. The next item is the Greenwich Rugby ($120 USD), which doubles as a top and outerwear garment due to its heavyweight cotton jersey composition with added cotton drill hood. The front exhibits athletic-themed graphics with KITH-branding across the midsection, and the number "82" on the back. The Duxbury Rugby ($105 USD) is a more classic take on the rugby, and is constructed with 380 gsm 100% cotton french terry with a contrast cotton drill collar. The front features the KITH Classic Logo and two slanted stripes, while the sleeves end in tonal cotton rib cuffs.

The two bottoms in this collection include new iterations of the Bleecker Sweat, and the fusion-designed Meeker Pant. The Bleecker Sweat ($115 USD) is redone with various colorblocked contrasting panels seen amongst the knee panels, nylon waistband, four YKK zipper pockets, ankle cuffs, and cotton rib seat gusset. Classic elements remain, such as the pristine fit and KITH Classic Logo on the left leg. The all new Meeker Pant ($115 USD) combines components of the Mercer Pant and the Bleecker Sweat, as the main body is built from a cotton twill supplemented from the Mercer, and the cotton french terry leg panel beneath the knee is inserted from the Bleecker.

Accompanying this extensive offering are brand new KITH Hats and a variety of new KITH Pins. The KITH Academy Us Pinch Crown Hat ($45 USD) features the Academy Us Logo on the front two panels with a rear snap closure, and is built from a soft cotton-acrylic wool blend. Five new options of KITH Pins ($9 USD) will be available - the Academy Bear, the Academy Horse, the Academy Flag, the Academy Pennant, and the Academy Us Logo. All five feature a gold body with a single pin rear closure and KITH Classic Logo on the back. 

The entirety of the KITH Academy Collection will be available in-store today, October 14, at the New KITH Shop at 644 Broadway and KITH Brooklyn at 233 Flatbush at 11AM EST. The collection will subsequently be available online tomorrow, October 15, at 11AM EST at KithNYC.com.
