Nautica on Monday announced a new license agreement with Marcraft Clothes for the manufacturing and distribution of men’s tailored clothing for the New York City-based brand.
 

Marcraft will produce suits, suit separates, sport coats and slacks for Nautica that will retail between $100 and $695. The collection will be carried in better department stores and men’s retailers in the U.S. and Canada beginning in 2018.
 
“We are excited to partner with Nautica as it is a dynamic lifestyle brand,” said Marcraft Co-founders and Presidents Jeff and Gary Brody. “Fresh product, strong advertising and innovative use of social media influencers support the brand’s heritage. We see a substantial growth opportunity to build on the already impressive base.”

The new license agreement follows Nautica’s recent agreement with Itochu for the manufacturing and distribution of men’s dress shirts. The brand also entered into an accessories license with Mundi Westport Group in February 2017.
