J. Press Creative Director and President, Dr. Jack Carlson, backstage before the Fall/Winter ‘26 runway show.

In an interview with GQ ahead of the show, Carlson stated: “From my perspective, a lot of what I’m doing is doubling down on the things that make J. Press J. Press. You’re always going to have the fashion guy who’s looking for something more avant‑garde, and you’re always going to have the self‑anointed reactionary guy whose personal definition of Ivy is the be‑all and end‑all. If you spent your whole time worrying about what this person or that person might say, you’d never really get anywhere.”

GQ writes: Carlson’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection, which was built around classic British textiles like tweed, Fox Brothers flannel, Barbour waxed cotton, and Fair Isle knits, is a nod to Ivy style’s origins as sporting clothes worn by the British aristocracy. It’s also, thanks to some cheeky iconography and pops of blaze orange, cobalt blue, and camo, unmistakably modern.

While creating the new collection, Carlson traveled to the Shetland Islands, a remote archipelago in northern Scotland, where sheep outnumber people ten to one. He describes how each Shaggy Dog is hand-brushed by a single craftsman with a traditional tool made from the head of a local flower. Scaling production of Shaggy Dog sweaters for the fall has been challenging, he admits, and the factory has been running around the clock to meet the deadline. Instead of moving production elsewhere, though, he plans to make the factory part of his long-term plan. “The answer is not, ‘Okay, we’re going to have to move to China.’ It’s growing the factory and growing the capacity right there in Shetland.”

GQ describes Carlson as a creative director who’s passionate about Ivy style and genuinely committed to doing things the right way. “We’re not just pumping out clothes,” says Carlson. “There is almost a higher purpose that we’re pursuing, and that makes it worthwhile in and of itself. J. Press is in some ways the last remaining standard-bearer for classic American menswear, and a lot of my job is not mucking it up.”

J. PRESS F/W ‘26

This season, on the eve of its 125th anniversary and one year into designer Jack Carlson’s tenure as Creative Director, J. Press celebrates its roots in the British Isles. Jacobi Press founded his namesake label at Yale in 1902; and the look he pioneered, “Ivy style,” has become synonymous with America, and with New England. But much of it has its origins in old England and the British Isles. We’re proud that many of our offerings are still made there, from our famous Shaggy Dog sweaters, which are made in Shetland, in the middle of the North Sea; to English neckwear and outerwear; to traditional Aran fisherman sweaters made in the windswept isles off the west coast of Ireland. From Scottish cashmeres and Harris Tweeds to Cheviots and English flannels, J. Press’ relationship with some of the most important British mills goes back over a century.

The collection also includes new pieces made in collaboration with traditional English makers and longtime J. Press partners Barbour, Gloverall, Lavenham; a Made-in-Japan capsule; and more.

This season also marks the first J. Press women’s capsule in the American market since the 1960s, with women’s O.C.B.D.s, Shaggy Dog and Fair Isle sweaters, blazers, tweeds, and outerwear, and more including women’s collaborations with Alex Mill and Steven Stolman. While we have not offered a women’s capsule in a long time, women have shopped at J. Press for a long time. Fran Lebowitz has stated that she owns no fewer than four thousand (yes, four thousand!) J. Press Shaggy Dog sweaters, and J. Press made Oxford cloth shirts for Marilyn Monroe when she was married to Arthur Miller.

The collection will be released in multiple deliveries over the course of the season.
