Rugby star Will Jordan teams up with Hallensteins for the new Tailored collection
A great suit speaks volumes — and it doesn't have to be complicated. That's the idea behind Tailored by Will Jordan, the new suiting collaboration between Hallensteins and rugby star Will Jordan. The collection brings together the brand's longstanding commitment to accessible menswear and Jordan's own effortless approach to looking good on and off the field.
It's a partnership built on more than aesthetics. Hallensteins chose Jordan because he represents something genuinely worth standing behind — an aspirational, hard-working and exemplary figure for young New Zealanders and sportspeople who are watching what it looks like to compete at the top and carry yourself with integrity while you do it. "Hallensteins understands how guys actually want to wear suits now — comfortable, sharp and not overdone," says Jordan. That instinct drives the collection.
At its centre is Jordan's signature two-piece suit, crafted in a textured charcoal wool blend that moves easily between a post-match function and milestone occasion. The wider AW26 range extends that versatility across slim suits, crisp shirting, modern velvets and wearable checks.
This collaboration continues Hallensteins' long history of partnering with leading and emerging athletes across codes throughout New Zealand — a commitment to showing up in sport not just as a sponsor, but as a genuine supporter of the people within it. "Will represents a new generation — focused, driven and authentic," says Hallensteins’ CEO James McLauchlan. "This collection captures that energy while staying true to our DNA: accessible, well-made clothing that works in real life."
To celebrate the launch, Remix attended an intimate supper club evening at Mr Morris, joining Will Jordan, fellow sporting stars Julian Savea, Dalton Papali'i and Marty Puketapu, and the Hallensteins team for a night of good food and good company in honour of the new collaboration.
For the young Kiwi watching Jordan play, or figuring out what to wear to their first real occasion, that accessibility matters. A suit from this collection isn't just your standard attire — it's a small piece of the confidence that comes with knowing you look the part, on the field or off it.
