IMC is proud to spotlight a new limited-edition collaboration between our client, Duluth Trading Company, and WD-40, bringing together two iconic brands known for their hardworking heritage, practical innovation, and a commitment to getting the job done.

MOUNT HOREB, Wis., Oct. 14, 2026 – Duluth Trading Co., a lifestyle brand of men’s and women’s workwear, casual wear, outdoor apparel and accessories, today announced a first-of-its-kind collaboration with WD-40 Brand, bringing together two brands known for hardworking products and practical problem-solving.

Inspired by the blue-and-yellow can that’s been a toolbox staple since 1953, the Duluth Trading x WD-40 Brand collection celebrates an icon that generations of doers have kept close at hand. It took 40 tries to land on the beloved WD-40® Multi-Use Product. This time, it only took one to land on this apparel and gear collaboration. The 10-piece collection brings WD-40 Brand’s signature colors, graphics and get-it-done attitude to Duluth Trading favorites, including Heritage hoodies, Fire Hose® gear and Buck Naked® underwear.

“I’ve had WD-40 Brand solutions in my toolbox, garage and around the house for as long as I can remember, so this collaboration hits close to home,” said Ricker Schlecht, Senior Vice President of Product Development at Duluth Trading. “Duluth Trading and WD-40 Brand both believe in solving problems and not cutting corners. This collaboration brings that shared mindset to life in a way that’s useful, hardworking and has fun with two brands our customers trust and love.”

  • Men’s Buck Naked Boxer Briefs ($24.95 MSRP): Duluth’s no-pinch, no-stink, no-sweat underwear gets the WD-40 Brand treatment with an allover print of cans, tools and all the different uses for the WD-40 Multi-Use Product.
