Urbane & Gallant, a Los Angeles-based men’s brand, is partnering with two-time NBA All-Star Baron Davis on a special collection.
Called the Urbane & Gallant x Baron Davis H.O.T.G, or History of the Game, capsule, the initial drop features a fleece jogger and a classic crewneck in either black or gray. Both pieces are emblazoned with roses, which are intended to reference positive energy and intention, and are made from a heavy 15 oz. fleece. They retail for $125 for the crewneck and $150 for the jogger.

Jeffrey Sebelia, a season three winner of “Project Runway” who is also the design director of Urbane & Gallant, designed the capsule. “Baron approached us after seeing the quality of our menswear collection,” he said. “We fell in love with the energy, message and vision Baron had. Our construction and fabrication quality, coupled with the positive impact of our fabric sourcing, elevates and fortifies H.O.T.G. in a way most other brands might not.”
