"\"&lt;p&gt;The Times line allows 686 the opportunity to collaborate with other premium companies to create limited edition outerwear lines only available through 686. This limited edition line will only be available one season, with scarce quantities produced and distributed through finer select retail establishments. For the 05\\/06 winter season, 686 selected Dragon Optics for men and Hello Kitty for women and girls. Each new season, 686 will team up with two new companies to keep things fresh and exciting.\\n&lt;p&gt;The Times line offers customized outerwear jackets, outerwear pants, printwear and accessories that reflect both 686 and the selected companies.
