ATLANTA, Nov. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The Weather Channel television network and Lands' End today announced a two-year partnership that will integrate the well-known apparel brand into The Weather Channel's live in-the-field coverage by outfitting the trusted network's on-camera meteorologists in Lands' End outerwear and apparel.

"We greatly admire The Weather Channel and respect their unwavering dedication to their millions of viewers as a trusted source for all weather conditions – especially in times of extreme severe weather," said Jerome Griffith, Chief Executive Officer, Lands' End. "At Lands' End we are passionate about developing high quality merchandise that our customers love, depend upon and trust. For over 50 years we have been designing clothing that embodies the values they live by and we are continually inspired to make our products better whenever possible."
As part of this partnership, meteorologists will regularly share insights on product functionality in the field with Lands' End, assisting the brand in enhancing its mission to continually improve and innovate their outerwear and apparel so that it performs under even the worst weather circumstances.
"We're thrilled to have Lands' End as the official outfitter of The Weather Channel television network," said Dave Shull, Chief Executive Officer, Weather Group.
