Reiss and Castore reunite for men's performance collection

British premium sportswear brand Castore and British fashion brand Reiss have teamed up again on a joint menswear collection. The range brings together Castore's background in technical performance wear and the design signature of Reiss, resulting in what the brands describe as elevated sportswear.

The collaboration plays into the growing overlap between performance and lifestyle clothing. The pieces are designed to be worn across training, travel and everyday settings, built on the idea that clothing should work as hard as the person wearing it.

Performance fabrics in a muted palette

The collection pairs technical fabrics, including sweat-wicking and water-resistant finishes, with relaxed silhouettes and understated detailing. The colour palette is kept premium and understated, with pieces in brown, stone, black and sage green.

On the lifestyle side, the range includes an oversized quarter-zip sweatshirt with a funnel neck and wide-leg joggers, both made from a soft fleece-backed cotton blend. An oversized T-shirt in 100 percent cotton completes this part of the offer, finished with small chest branding and a statement graphic on the back.

For training, the collection draws on Castore's own fabric technologies. A lightweight vest is made with the brand's 'AerTek' sweat-wicking fabric, while 2-in-1 shorts and a 'Flex Hoodie' use the high-stretch, quick-drying 'ProTek' fabric. Streamlined woven joggers with perforated calf detailing for airflow and reflective branding round out the training pieces.

Outerwear and campaign

The outerwear offer centres on the padded 'Bench Jacket', designed for lightweight protection in changing conditions. It features a water-resistant finish, a peaked hood, storm cuffs and a heat-sealed two-way zip, as well as reflective detailing on the sleeve and back for visibility in low light.

Professional rugby player Orlando Bailey, who is part of Castore's roster of athletes, fronts the accompanying campaign. The campaign presents the collection through authentic movement, highlighting its performance qualities while reflecting the premium positioning of both brands.
