TapouT Launching Vintage Collection

Los Angeles–based CMT America and CMT Sourcing Group Ltd., its sister company in Hong Kong, have joined forces with TapouT to launch a line of high-end apparel called TapouT Vintage.

CMT America will exclusively market and distribute the TapouT Vintage collection of sweats, denim, shorts, shirts, jackets and accessories.

The line will debut at the MAGIC Marketplace in Las Vegas during the Aug. 17–19 show with deliveries for Holiday 2010.

TapouT is the official lifestyle-apparel partner of the Ultimate Fighting Championship and the only authentic lifestyle brand for Mixed Martial Arts, a growing sport in the United States.

“TapouT Vintage is aimed at more discerning customers who want to represent and support mixed marital arts by sporting the TapouT brand in places where a traditional T-shirt doesn’t fit the bill,” said Marc Kreiner, TapouT chair and chief executive.—Deborah Belgum
