Now at Retail, the Line Salutes 95 Years of Popeye the Sailor Man with Retro Chic Apparel

New York, NY — King Features and Coach, have debuted a new collection inspired by the iconic forearm-flexing sailor, Popeye.

Now at retail, Popeye’s new fashion line with Coach is the latest collaboration as the brand honors the beloved character’s 95th birthday this year while expanding on his presence with consumers through numerous top-of-the-line lifestyle offerings.

Always there to save the day, the line introduces a variety of soft cotton t-shirts, cozy wool and cashmere sweaters, relaxed-fit cardigans, and a glove tanned leather Rogue Bag, featuring early black and white illustrations of the spinach-loving Sailor Man posing across each item.  Playfully celebrating his free spirit, as well as rebels and dreamers everywhere, each piece puts a spotlight on Popeye’s enduring legacy through classic style.

“The new Popeye X Coach collaboration merges timeless pop culture with the sophistication and craftsmanship that Coach is known for. It’s an incredible blend of nostalgia and modern elegance, creating something truly special for both fans of Popeye and fashion enthusiasts alike.  We look forward to providing another way for fans to showcase their love for the cartoon icon,” said Carla Silva, Senior Vice President, General Manager, and Head of Global Licensing at King Features.

A World War II-era mascot for the everyman, Popeye is known for standing up to bullies, protecting the weak, and fighting for what is right. His wit, grit, unforgettable laugh, and love of spinach launched a legacy that remains “Strong to the Finish” almost a century later.
