Travis Kelce struggles to find 2XL

Travis Michael Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs tight end, said finding fashionable clothes in his 2XL size can still be difficult. He explained that popular sizes sometimes sell out before he can secure them.

Kelce said greater access to major designers has made shopping easier as his NFL career has grown. More brands now contact him directly, giving him better chances to find clothing that fits.

Kelce’s size explains the challenge

Kelce stands 6 feet 5 inches and weighs 250 pounds on the Chiefs roster. He has said finding 2XL clothing can be difficult because those sizes sell out quickly.

Kelce enters his 14th season with Kansas City in 2026. The Chiefs selected him 63rd overall in the 2013 NFL Draft, and he has spent his entire NFL career with the franchise.

Designer access changes his options

Kelce said the longer he has played in the NFL, the more designers have reached out directly. That wider access has given him more opportunities to secure clothing in 2XL.

Even with stronger fashion connections, Kelce said finding the right size remains half the battle. His comments show that improved access has not completely removed the basic problem of limited availability.

Kelce keeps his streetwear roots

Travis Kelce emphasizes that his increased access to high-end designer labels has not changed his deep attachment to streetwear.
His commitment to personal style takes center stage in a new partnership with Tommy Hilfiger, where he steps into a direct creative role.

The multi-season agreement names Kelce a Global Brand Ambassador and Creative Collaborator, kicking off with a starring role in the brand’s Fall 2026 campaign. This ongoing partnership will culminate in a co-designed capsule collection of menswear and accessories set to debut for the Spring 2027 season.

Tommy Hilfiger expands Kelce’s role

Tommy Hilfiger named Kelce a global brand ambassador and creative collaborator in March 2026. The multiseason partnership includes campaigns, events, and future collections built around his personal style and public profile.

The partnership begins with Fall 2026 and continues into spring 2027. Tommy Hilfiger said Kelce will appear in multiple campaigns and help create products beyond a standard celebrity endorsement role.

Tommy Hilfiger’s Fall 2026 campaign features Kelce in a New York City story centered on classic American style. The project uses recognizable locations and fashion encounters throughout the wider city.

Kelce said filming at The Plaza felt especially connected to New York. The hotel became a central campaign setting alongside fashion, sports, music, and entertainment figures appearing throughout the project.

Kelce also appears with his Samoyed dog in the Fall 2026 campaign. The dog’s public debut added a personal element while showing the Chiefs star in a setting outside football.

He later said the dog handled the fashion shoot well and brought him daily enjoyment. The appearance added another personal detail beyond the celebrity cast, New York locations, and fall clothing.

Kelce will help design spring 2027

Kelce’s Tommy Hilfiger role will expand into a design collaboration scheduled for spring 2027. The project will include menswear and accessories developed with Kelce, extending his involvement beyond modeling alone.

Tommy Hilfiger said the partnership will refresh familiar brand pieces through Kelce’s perspective. The multiseason agreement spans fashion, art, music, entertainment, and sport across campaigns and future collaborative projects together.

Kelce’s Hilfiger link began in school

Kelce’s connection to Tommy Hilfiger predates the 2026 partnership. He recalled asking his mother to buy him the brand’s Sailing Gear jackets while he was still attending high school.

Kelce said he had admired Tommy Hilfiger for years and described working on the brand’s familiar pieces as a dream opportunity. The partnership will include co-designed menswear and accessories in 2027.

Fun fact: Travis Kelce once said his closet was an entire converted bedroom holding roughly 300 pairs of shoes.

Kelce mixes streetwear and designer fashion

Kelce said he continues wearing streetwear and brands he followed earlier in his career even as major designers provide greater access. His wardrobe, therefore, includes familiar labels and higher-profile fashion houses.

Tommy Hilfiger describes Kelce as an athlete known for bold personal style and highly visible game-day arrivals. His current fashion work extends that interest into campaigns and collaborative product design.

Kelce’s profile reaches beyond football

Kelce enters his 14th Chiefs season in 2026 while maintaining a media career outside football. He co-created New Heights with brother Jason Kelce and has expanded into producing and hosting work.

Kelce remains an active Chiefs player while serving as Tommy Hilfiger’s global brand ambassador and creative collaborator. His current roles place football, media, and fashion projects within the same career stage.
