Why This Partnership Matters
Mister USA is one of America's premier men's pageant organizations, led by CEO and President Jino Carnwath Cabrera — who has built one of the most inclusive and forward-thinking men's pageant platforms in the country, with nearly 500,000 Instagram followers and a mission that goes far beyond the stage.
Cabrera has spoken directly to what drives the organization: the belief that every man should strive to become the best version of himself, and in doing so, become a role model and transformational leader. When the Mister USA team confirmed the partnership, they said it plainly: "We are beyond excited about this partnership with Hunt & Harbor. Big things are definitely coming, and we cannot wait to unveil what we have been working on together."
That mission — showing up fully, in every area of life — is exactly what Hunt & Harbor was built for. This brand exists at the intersection of the man who hunts at dawn and has dinner on the water by sunset. The man who is rugged and refined. Present everywhere he chooses to be. The Mister USA partnership is not just a brand deal. It is a values alignment.
The Collection: What's Coming on July 25th
The Mister USA x Hunt & Harbor 2026 Collection is a fully co-branded, purpose-built line designed specifically for competition — with a public launch to follow the official debut.
Two Hero Colorways
The Prestige: A sleek design with gold metallic detailing set against a deep dark base. Competition-ready presence with resort-luxe aesthetic — bold without being loud. Black drawstring ties with matte gold aglet tips.
The Patriot: A striking navy, red, and white stars-and-stripes print. Unmistakably American. Built to make a powerful national statement on the Mister USA stage. Navy drawstring ties with matte gold aglet tips.
Three Silhouettes
Each colorway is offered across three performance-built cuts:
Board Short — mid-length with performance construction and brief mesh liner
Square Cut — luxury Brazilian-inspired low-rise fit with compression
Lifeguard Brief — Euro-style athletic contour with supportive front construction
All styles are crafted from premium performance fabric featuring four-way stretch, UPF 50+ sun protection, chlorine and salt resistance, and fast-dry construction — available in sizes XS through 3XL.
Beyond the Water
The collection extends beyond swimwear. Coordinating tank tops feature two custom original logos created exclusively for this collaboration: the Phoenix Crest, uniting both brand identities, and the Stag H&H Metal Plate. A Patriotic Camp Collar Shirt in the matching stars-and-stripes print rounds out the lineup, alongside Mister USA-inspired tees and tanks available to the public following the debut.
Each contestant receives their competition collection in a custom gift box with a personalized interior message — an unboxing experience designed to honor the weight of the moment.
A Note From Hunt & Harbor
Hunt & Harbor was co-founded by Keith Newport and Charles Wooton, headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Keith launched the brand at nearly fifty years old — not as a departure from his professional identity after more than thirty years in healthcare staffing, but as proof that a man does not have to choose between the career he has built and the creative life he imagines.
In Keith's own words: "I am incredibly grateful to Jino Cabrera and the entire Mister USA organization for their trust in Hunt & Harbor. To have this opportunity at this stage of the brand's journey means everything to us, and we are so excited to share it with the world."
This is what Hunt & Harbor has always been about — showing up fully, building something worth noticing, and proving that the man who does both can leave a mark that lasts.
