As David Ortiz winds down his career with the Red Sox, achieving milestones with what seems like every swing of the bat, Mo Vaughn is nodding in approval from afar.

Like Ortiz, Vaughn was once the centerpiece of the Red Sox lineup, a hitter able to combine power with a high on-base percentage. He was one of baseball’s best players from 1993-98, hitting .315 while averaging 35 home runs with 110 RBIs. Vaughn was the American League MVP in 1995 and made the All-Star team three times.

The new big-and-tall collection took a booth at Liberty Fairs.

Las Vegas may be in the desert, but former Major League Baseball All-Star Mo Vaughn was in town to test the waters.

Last week, Vaughn launched MVP Collections, a men’s big-and-tall sportswear line that was going to be promoted on social media and sold on the brand’s web site. But MVP Collections took a booth at the Liberty Fairs show in Vegas where Vaughn held court, signing autographs and rubbing elbows with retailers. And the next thing you know, he was in the wholesale business.

“People are asking about it,” he said. “We need to be open-minded and flexible and we’re doing that.”

Vaughn’s partner in the line of activewear, denim, casual tops, T-shirts, dress shirts and sport coats is apparel industry veteran Diane Cutuli, whose idea it was to take a booth at the trade show. She said the line attracted interest from stores around the country and as a result, MVP Collections will add a few accounts in a handful of cities and see how it works.

Three-time All Star and baseball MVP, Mo Vaughn has just launched his new big and tall men’s fashion line, MVP Collections, all Made in the USA. The clothing line will include a full range of stylish and affordable fashion for men. The collection offers Athleisure wear, fashion denim, and tops ranging from sizes 1XL-4XL and denim sizes 38″-50″. Like many athletes that tend to be larger in size and height, Vaughn has found the struggle of finding clothes that fit that are fashionable. After years of purchasing expensive custom clothes, Vaughn thought it was time to create a line that would be stylish and tailored specifically towards big and tall men.

To execute this innovative concept, Vaughn teamed up with fashion executive and managing partner, Diane Cutuli to create MVP Collections, providing 3 lifestyle collections; Athleisure, Weekend Wear and Night Out. The pair worked together to design a fashion line that would cater to big and tall men looking for clothing options that are stylish, affordable and that fit and all products will be Made in the USA.
