Zig Zag And Its Vintage Roots
Zig-Zag has been around longer than sliced bread, literally. With over 140 years under our belt, we’ve been part of pop culture, music, fashion, and everything in between. But staying relevant doesn’t mean forgetting where we came from. That’s why we launched our vintage collections to honor the classics, bring back iconic looks, and keep things fresh while staying true to our roots.
If you’ve ever felt drawn to old-school design or wanted merch that actually has a backstory, you’re in the right place.
What’s in the Zig-Zag Vintage Collection?
We didn’t just slap a throwback logo on a hoodie and call it a day. Our Vintage Collection was built with intention. Each piece, each package, and each design element calls back to an earlier time in Zig-Zag history. Think of it like your favorite band dropping unreleased tracks. They’re new, but they’ve got that familiar feel.
Our limited-edition collection caught the attention of fans and collectors alike. It was so major, even Business Insider had something to say. Limited, exclusive, and rooted in our past, these items are crafted to reflect our legacy with a fresh perspective.
Here’s what you’ll find in our Vintage Collection:
- Limited Edition Vintage Papers: Crafted with the same slow-burning, lightweight paper you trust, now wrapped in nostalgic packaging.
- French Orange 1¼ & King Size Papers: Collectible vintage packaging with classic Zig-Zag quality and recognizable sizing.
- Organic Hemp Vintage Papers: Unbleached, eco-conscious rolling papers made from pure hemp in vintage packaging.
- Unbleached Vintage Papers: Natural flax fiber papers with a smooth burn, wrapped in throwback packaging.
- Ultra Thin 1¼ Vintage Papers: Lightweight, translucent papers that keep things minimal and vintage.
- Kutcorners & Original White Vintage Papers: Easy-to-roll Kutcorners and classic Original White papers, both reissued with collectible packaging.
- Exclusive Vintage Collection Apparel: T-shirts, hoodies, and hats featuring archival artwork and heritage-inspired graphics that mix nostalgia with modern style.
Vintage Rolling Papers: A Nod to the Classics
These limited-edition papers are a full-on tribute to our roots. Designed with signature Zig-Zag quality and wrapped in nostalgic packaging, they give you a solid connection to where it all began. Each release brings something classic to the table:
- French Orange 1¼ & King Size: Reissued in vintage collectible packaging, featuring our original branding and design details.
- Organic Hemp Papers: Made with 100% pure hemp and wrapped in eco-conscious, old-school style.
- Unbleached Papers: Crafted from natural flax fibers and reintroduced with heritage-inspired packaging.
- Ultra Thin 1¼ Papers: Lightweight, translucent, and now part of the vintage revival.
- Kutcorners & Original White: Two Zig-Zag icons brought back in collectible formats for a true blast from the past.
You still get the same quality, consistency, and slow-burning performance Zig-Zag is known for. We’ve just wrapped them in the kind of packaging that reminds you how long we’ve been in the game.
If you’re looking to collect or just want to roll with a little history in your hand, these are it. They’re only around for a short time, so grab them while you can.
Vintage Apparel: Merging Nostalgia with Contemporary Fashion
It’s not all about papers. We had to bring the same energy to your wardrobe. Our Vintage Apparel Collection lets you wear the legacy, combining decades of design with updated fits and fresh quality.
Here’s what you’ll find:
- Graphic Tees: Featuring archival artwork pulled straight from Zig-Zag history.
- Hoodies and Sweatshirts: Cozy layers that mix past visuals with clean, current cuts.
- Hats and Caps: Headwear with heritage flavor that stands out in any rotation.
They’re made for anyone who wants to represent something iconic without overdoing it. The pieces are built for durability and made to turn heads, whether you’re styling an outfit or just throwing something on.
We even put together a quick guide to creating a vintage-inspired outfit with our apparel, giving you tips on how to rock the full look. It’s straightforward, style-forward, and true to our brand.
How Do We Keep Vintage Releases Fresh and Collectible?
We're not just putting out throwbacks for the sake of nostalgia. Every vintage drop we do has a purpose, a story, and a whole lot of intention behind it. We rotate our releases to keep things exciting, limited, and exclusive.
Here are a few of our standout limited releases:
- Zig-Zag Football Jersey: This one turned heads fast. Vintage styling meets fanwear energy, and yeah, it sold out quick.
- Zig-Zag Turntable: Yes, we launched a turntable. Right before the Grammys. If you know, you know. It was our way of giving a shoutout to the music legends who’ve repped Zig-Zag through the years. Check the article for the full scoop.
What makes these releases different?
- They’re limited. Once they’re gone, they’re not coming back.
- They’re collectible. We’re talking pieces with cultural relevance, not just logos.
- They’re made with care. Every drop goes through a creative process that keeps our history front and center.
We’ve got new drops lined up too, like the upcoming Zig-Zag Baseball Jersey. If you're into exclusive merch that says something about where you've been and what you stand for, you’ll want to keep an eye out.

We created the Vintage Collection to honor our 145-year legacy in a way that feels current but still stays true to our roots. After decades of shaping culture and style, we wanted to bring our history back into the spotlight through collectible products and heritage-focused apparel. The inspiration came directly from our archives, classic packaging, and fan-favorite branding from the past. It’s our way of showing appreciation for where we started and how far we’ve come.
All items in the Vintage Collection are released in small batches and only available while supplies last. Once they sell out, they’re typically not restocked. This applies to both the vintage rolling papers and apparel drops
Yes, our vintage apparel is designed to be unisex with inclusive sizing. The tees, hoodies, hats, and jerseys are made with all fans in mind. We focus on comfort and fit that work across different styles and preferences.
The vintage papers still feature the same trusted Zig-Zag quality, including slow-burning design and durable paper construction. What sets them apart is the limited-edition packaging inspired by our original styles and color palettes. These collectible versions give a nod to earlier eras while still delivering the same performance you expect.
We’ve included a wide variety of rolling papers in the Vintage Collection. That includes French Orange 1¼ and King Size, Organic Hemp, Unbleached, Ultra Thin 1¼, and Kutcorners & Original White. Each type features exclusive vintage-inspired packaging that’s only available for a short time.
Older vintage products are only available while supplies last, and we don’t restock past releases. If something sells out, it’s unlikely to come back. Some items may appear in collector resales or secondhand shops, but official Zig-Zag stores won’t carry past drops again.
The vintage label refers to the design inspiration behind the pieces. We use original artwork, typography, and color schemes from our historical packaging and marketing. Each product is carefully crafted to bring that retro feel while staying current in fit and material.
