US brand Wrangler partners with CAPX to launch new headwear line
The agreement reflects a strategic shift towards elevated craftsmanship and cutting edge design, leveraging CAPX’s industry-leading innovation and manufacturing capabilities to redefine what consumers can expect from Wrangler headwear.
Wrangler has entered a multi-year licensing deal with CAPX to launch an innovative headwear line, blending its iconic craftsmanship with CAPX’s advanced design and fit technology.
Featuring signature ‘W’ stitching, copper hardware, and leather patches, the collection embodies Wrangler’s lifestyle ethos.
The first range debuts this month, expanding Wrangler’s reach beyond denim.
The collection will feature distinctive Wrangler details, including the iconic ‘W’ stitching, copper hardware, and leather patches sourced from the same suppliers used for Wrangler denim. Each silhouette will be meticulously crafted to meet Wrangler’s exacting standards.
As Wrangler continues to expand beyond denim, the brand remains focused on its core consumer—someone who lives with purpose and expresses identity through what they wear. For many, staples like jeans, tees, and caps aren’t just wardrobe choices—they’re a way of life. This new headwear line is designed to complement that lifestyle, offering quality, comfort, and character in every piece.
Every cap, Wrangler models included, will feature a model number printed inside the lining. This number refers to one of over 45 shapes developed by CAPX and serves as the foundation of their standardized fit system used across brands and industries. This approach helps to educate consumers on specific fit and structure of a cap they love, making it easier to discover and purchase similar styles in the future.
“Headwear is an essential part of the Wrangler consumer’s lifestyle,” said Steve Armus, Vice President of Licensing and Collaborations at Wrangler. “We see tremendous opportunity in headwear to reach a broader audience in meaningful new ways, and CAPX is the ideal partner to help us do that.”
“We’re excited and humbled to partner with the iconic Wrangler brand and represent its 78-year history. Wrangler is a true American lifestyle brand and headwear is an incredible opportunity to amplify its story,” said David Gormley, Founder and President of CAPX.
Together, Wrangler and CAPX are reimagining what headwear can be, merging storytelling, craftsmanship, and innovative design. Consumers can expect the first collection to debut this month, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for both brands.

Valentino Garavani, an icon of Italian fashion, founder of his eponymous maison, and widely regarded as one of the greatest designers of all time, died in Rome on January 19, surrounded by his loved ones.
Born in Voghera, Italy on May 11, 1932, he showed remarkable artistic talent from an early age, which led him to study drawing and fashion in Paris, where he worked with couturiers such as Jean Dessès and Guy Laroche.
Upon returning to Italy, he opened his first atelier on Via Condotti in Rome in 1960, supported by his business partner, Giancarlo Giammetti. International success soon followed: his debut show at Florence’s Palazzo Pitti in 1962 marked his breakthrough, establishing him as an undisputed standard-bearer of Italian fashion worldwide. In 1968, the famous “V” logo was introduced, later becoming the emblem of the maison. Equally iconic is his signature red, inspired by a gown he saw at the opera in his youth, which made this shade a defining hallmark of the house.
Valentino Garavani announced his retirement in 2007, at the age of 75, with a final show celebrating his extraordinary career. His legacy is also chronicled in the 2008 documentary directed by Matt Tyrnauer: “Valentino: The Last Emperor.”
Garavani’s lying in state will be held at PM23, Piazza Mignanelli 23 in Rome, on Wednesday and Thursday, January 21 and 22, 2026, from 11:00 to 18:00. The funeral will take place on Friday, January 23, 2026, at 11:00, at the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri, Piazza della Repubblica 8, Rome.

Trump last week announced he would impose a new round of higher tariffs on several EU members starting February 1 as the latter did not support US demand to buy Greenland from Denmark.
EU diplomats have agreed to accelerate efforts to dissuade President Donald Trump from imposing tariffs on European allies, while preparing retaliatory measures.
European Council President Antonio Costa consulted members on the Greenland issue and said he would convene an extraordinary meeting of the Council in the coming days.
The bloc is committed to defend itself against any form of coercion, he said.
“NATO has been telling Denmark, for 20 years, that ‘you have to get the Russian threat away from Greenland’,” he wrote on Truth Social. “Unfortunately, Denmark has been unable to do anything about it. Now it is time, and it will be done!!!”
European Council President Antonio Costa consulted member states on the latest tensions over Greenland and issued a statement saying such tariffs would undermine trans-Atlantic relations and are incompatible with the EU-US trade agreement. He reconfirmed the bloc’s strong commitment to defend it against any form of coercion.
Expressing the bloc’s readiness to continue engaging constructively with the United States on all issues of common interest, he said he would convene an extraordinary meeting of the Council in the coming days.
“Europe will not be blackmailed,” Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said in a statement.
An option being reportedly considered is a package of tariffs on €93 billion worth of US imports that could automatically take effect on February 6 following the expiry of a six-month pause.
Another involves deploying the Anti-Coercion Instrument (ACI), a never-used tool that could restrict access to public tenders, investments or banking activity and limit trade in services, including digital services, where the United States runs a surplus with the bloc.
After speaking to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen asserted EU commitment to upholding the sovereignty of Greenland and Denmark and posted on X: “We will always protect our strategic economic and security interests”.
“We will face these challenges to our European solidarity with steadiness and resolve,” she said.
“No intimidation or threat will influence us—whether in Ukraine, in Greenland or elsewhere in the world,” Macron wrote on X. “Tariff threats are unacceptable and have no place in this context. Europeans will respond in a united and coordinated manner if they are confirmed,” he wrote.
“We will not allow ourselves to be blackmailed,” said Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson.

Reliance misses third-quarter profit estimates at $2.06 billion for the October-December quarter

On Friday, India’s Reliance Industries posted an 186.45 billion rupees ($2.06 billion) profit for the October-December quarter, missing analysts’ average estimate of 196.44 billion rupees, according to data compiled by LSEG.
Shares of Reliance Industries fell as much as 2.7% in early trade on Monday after the conglomerate announced missing its third-quarter profit estimates, weighed down by slowing earnings growth in its retail segment. Shares of the Mukesh Ambani-led firm were trading at 1,426. 60 rupees, as of 9:41 am, and were among the top five losers on the benchmark Nifty 50 Index
UBS analysts trimmed Oil-to-Chemicals(O2C) and retail estimates slightly but said they still see room for a valuation re-rating, as the company’s earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) mix increasingly shifts toward structural growth drivers such as digital and retail, reducing dependence on the cyclical oil and gas segment. Festive discounting, investment in hyper-local delivery startups, and a one-off impact from India’s new labour code trimmed core margins at its retail unit to 8% from 8.6% a year earlier.
Retail growth softened primarily because the festive season was brought forward and due to the one-month impact of the consumer products demerger, analysts at Emkay said. Core earnings for the segment grew 1.3% to 69.15 billion rupees, compared with 9.5% growth a year earlier.
Reliance’s oil and gas segment weakened due to lower output and softer price realisations from its ageing KG-D6 fields, leading to an 8.4% revenue decline and a 12.7% drop in core earnings amid higher maintenance costs. Meanwhile, analysts at Systematix forecast a rise of 5%, 12%, and 9% O2C, Retail, and Jio revenue CAGR, respectively, during FY25-FY28, while a 12% decline in their oil and gas businesses.
