SEVEN DECADES SEVEN ICONS. THE AMERICAN SPORTSWEAR ESSENTIALS.
The Essentials Shop
The Button-Down Shirt
The first garment we ever made. It’s been over 70 years and we haven’t stopped our love affair with the button-down shirt. Our signatures? The boxpleat at the back for a fuller range of motion, the back-collar button, and the locker loop–to keep your shirt wrinkle-free at your local locker room, of course.
Our selection
The Cable Knit
With roots in the Aran Islands, this chunky sweater protected islanders from the harsh Atlantic weather. Now it’s adored by everyone from golf and cricket players to boarding school students to grandpas.
The Heavy Rugger
First a rugby uniform staple way back in the 1800s, the Heavy Rugger we know today kept most of its original DNA–the loud stripes, the rubber buttons, and the signature heavyweight jersey. But don’t worry–you don’t need to run around a pitch to look good in one. These are made for everyone.
The Chino
The mighty chino has been a mainstay of preppy culture since the mid 1940s when American soldiers returned home from WWII sporting khaki chinos and button-downs. From there, it spread to East Coast college campuses and the rest is history. Ours come in a line-up of essential fits made for every style.
The Club Blazer
Originally worn by boat club members and characterized by its golden buttons, the Club Blazer is a key player in American sportswear history. Our version retains the timeless charm but loses the pretension–there’s no yacht club membership required here.
The Piqué
For impromptu tennis matches, barbecues, casual Fridays, and everything else–the versatile piqué polo shirt is a staple for a reason. Beyond the tennis court, the classic piqué is lightweight, breathable, and soft–the epitome of casual ease.
The GANT Varsity Jacket
Inspired by American letterman jackets worn by high school and college students, the GANT Varsity Jacket tells a story with every stitch. Ours are decked out in embroidery, patches, and badges for a heritage piece you’ll pass down to your grandkids.
