Launching on August 1st, Kathmandu’s ‘AW25 Heritage Collection’ celebrates the brand’s legacy by reimagining classic fleece and insulation pieces drawn from its archival designs. First founded in 1987, the outdoor outfitter returns to its roots this season, reviving signature trims, branding, and silhouettes in modern, eco-conscious materials like TENCEL™ Lyocell, PrimaLoft® Bio, and responsibly sourced down.
Timed with the ongoing rise of nostalgia in fashion, the collection honors the rugged spirit of Kathmandu’s past while offering functional updates for today’s explorers. Standout styles include retro-inspired outerwear and the ‘CO-Z High Pile’ fleece — designed for comfort, warmth, and cold-weather layering.
Kathmandu’s Heritage Collection taps into emotional brand loyalty while aligning with sustainability trends. By marrying archival authenticity with performance-driven innovation, the AW25 drop strengthens its appeal across both legacy customers and style-conscious new consumers. It’s a strategic move that leverages storytelling to differentiate in a crowded outdoor apparel market.
