Luke Combs proved that wrong on Wednesday night when he arrived at the Academy of Country Music Honors awards show in a custom suit inspired by his Columbia Sportswear Performance Fishing Gear collection.
The country artist, who is also an avid hunter and fisherman, wears PFG gear almost exclusively on stage and off, and earlier this year, worked with the company on a special Turkey Hunting Collection featuring a Mossy Oak Greenleaf camouflage print.
For his red-carpet look, that same camo print was used for the lining of the jacket and pockets -- as well as a pocket square. He paired the solid black, single-breasted suit with his trademark Bahama II black button-down shirt.
Combs' custom look was created by Nashville tailor Eric Adler in partnership with the artist's stylist, Katy Robbins. It featured a mesh lining along with Columbia PFG labels, trims and finishes.
Columbia also outfits Combs' tour crew and some of the staff at his newly opened Nashville bar, Category 10.
At the event, Combs was presented with the ACM International Award, which is inspired by the late Jim Reeves, and presented to an artist for outstanding contributions to the growth of country music internationally.
Combs boasts more than 10 billion streams and 25 million monthly listeners and has sold out shows in the U.K., Ireland, the Netherlands and Australia. An Asheville, N.C.-native, he is a two-time Entertainer of the Year of the Country Music Association and was the first country artist to have three singles certified RIAA Diamond. Last year, he helped raise more than $24.5 million by spearheading a Concert for Carolina benefit concert for Hurricane Helene relief efforts.
