NUTMEG

NUTMEG MILLS is the body line in NUTMEG’s current lineup, focusing on basic, unprinted wear. While the parent brand reinterprets 1980s and 1990s American sports culture and vintage graphics for the present, this line centers on understated everyday clothing, such as T-shirts made with USA cotton. It carries forward the spinning, knitting, and sewing expertise developed by Howard, and is characterized by the dry feel of open-end yarn and durable materials. It has a distinct role from NUTMEG ATHLETIC DEPT., which adds expression through treatments, prints, and licensed projects; within the group, NUTMEG MILLS supports the core range of materials and garment bodies.

NUTMEG ATHLETIC DEPT. is a design- and added-value-focused line that reworks NUTMEG’s vintage sports archive for contemporary audiences. Drawing on Howard’s planning and processing expertise, it offers items featuring treatments that create the fading and texture of vintage clothing, distressed prints, and embroidery. It also handles licensed projects such as UCLA, HAWAII UNIVERSITY, and PEANUTS, connecting American sports culture of the 1980s and 1990s with contemporary clothing. Whereas NUTMEG MILLS focuses mainly on plain items made from USA cotton, this line is responsible for design expression through graphics, treatments, and licensed projects.
