JCPenney Collaborates with Grammy Nominated Country Singer Walker Hayes

Written by JC Penney

JCPenney announced a new collaboration with GRAMMY Nominated country music singer-songwriter, Walker Hayes, and iHeartRadio for a limited-time, exclusive collection, launching online May 4 and in-store on May 16. The collection, Walker Hayes for JCPenney, features upbeat clothing with down-home vibes for guys who like to keep style simple.

This limited-time collection includes a laid-back lineup of twenty-five instant classics designed with functional details men love in colors that work year-round. Inspired by Walker’s personal style, this new collection offers quality, versatile cool pieces guys can wear every day. Walker Hayes for JCPenney features woven shirts, jackets, short-sleeve hoodies, casual tees, shorts, pants, and a signature cap and tee incorporating his “Duck Buck” logo, in line with his recent “Duck Buck” tour.

Available in men’s sizes S-XXL, 2XLT-4XLT, the collection ranges from $20-$89 and builds on JCPenney’s ongoing commitment to make fashion truly accessible with casually cool looks at affordable prices. This collection follows another limited-time menswear line launched earlier this year,  Stylus X LaDarius Campbell.

“From long nights on tour to family days that go from day to night with no slowing down, my personal style is classic and comfortable,” said country music star Walker Hayes. “When I started working on this collection with JCPenney, I wanted to make sure it captured my personal style and would be affordable to fans. Plus, I wanted guys like me to be confident picking out what to wear, no matter where they may be going, and I’m excited we were able to capture just that.”

In April, Hayes released his new project Sober Thoughts, which includes single “Same Drunk,” and announced his next headlining tour of the same name – The Same Drunk Tour. Hayes will debut his collection and perform at the 2024 iHeartCountry Festival Presented by Capital One on Saturday, May 4 in Austin, TX. Fans can visit the Daytime Village at the festival, courtesy of JCPenney and check out the new collection in-person.

“There’s no better way to kick off summer than with live music, which is why we’re thrilled to partner with Walker Hayes and iHeartRadio for a casual men’s collection that can be worn on repeat throughout the season,” said Michelle Wlazlo, chief merchandising officer for JCPenney. “It’s important to work with partners that align with our brand values. Walker is the ultimate family man and someone who supports his community – which aligns perfectly with our commitment to standing with our communities.”

Walker Hayes for JCPenney is available on JCPenney.com starting May 4 and in select stores May 16.
