Hockey Captain Fashion Partnerships

Erik Karlsson is RW&CO.'s New Suiting Ambassador for Fall 2018

— September 11, 2018 — Fashion
Erik Karlsson, famed Swedish defenceman and captain of the Ottawa Senators, is the face of Canadian label RW&CO.'s campaign for Fall 2018, working as a suiting ambassador to promote its newly designed performance-driven formal attire.

Intended for consumers who value modern yet timeless styles that are comfortable to wear, RW&CO presents the '40hr' suit, which is modeled by Karlsson. Also included in the new line is 'The Traveler Suit,' which is made with practicality in mind, with special earbud and passport pockets featured. 'The Essential Suit' is similarly versatile, and comes with an array of transitional pieces that makes it easy to switch up for different occasions.

Karlsson spoke on his desire to take part in the partnership with RW&CO. by stating, "In my wardrobe, I gravitate towards classic pieces that can be worn for years and when I’m in a suit, comfort is key. I dress according to how I feel and RW&CO. makes it easy to feel confident yet relaxed, especially when dressing up for game day."

The full collection is currently available from rw-com.com, as well as from select in-store locations across Canada.
