“The Gentlemen” is all the buzz these days with rumors that Meghan Markle is being eyed for a role in the Guy Ritchie-created action television series on Netflix.
As the show prepares for the launch of its second season next week, Ted Baker and Champion are unveiling distinct capsule collections inspired by the series. The capsules are intended to speak to the two distinct sides of the show: underground boxing and British aristocracy.
The Champion collection is centered around the Glassknuckle Boxing Club featured in the show and includes an assortment of fleece, graphic T-shirts and sportswear pieces featuring co-branded artwork.

The Ted Baker assortment offers up an assortment of British tailoring, including suits, blazers and formalwear. Each piece, created from wool-rich fabrics with distinct detailing, also features a co-branded lining with custom artwork created exclusively for the collaboration.
“Champion and Ted Baker have long stood for their own expressions of style, making ‘The Gentlemen’ the ideal story to bring those worlds together,” said Henry Stupp, president, lifestyle EMEAI at Authentic Brands Group, which owns both Champion and Ted Baker. “This collaboration celebrates the dynamic contrast at the heart of the story. By bringing these collections from screen to street, we’re giving fans the opportunity to experience that world through two iconic brands, each staying true to its own heritage while contributing to its distinctive visual identity.”
To celebrate the launch, Champion, Ted Baker and Netflix will debut the collections through an immersive retail experience at Selfridges Oxford Street in London, featuring a pop-up, dedicated window installations and a screening event for press and influencers.
The Champion x The Gentlemen and Ted Baker x The Gentlemen collections will officially launch on Thursday at Selfridges as well as online at both brands’ websites. The show will premiere on Sept. 3.
