This year Vineyard Vines was chosen as the official clothing vendor for the Head of the Charles Regatta. My favorites are the long sleeve tees and of course the HOCR color blocked Vineyard Vines classic and expected cotton canvas tote.
What to wear, what to wear, what to wear?
A rowing hoody, of course!
This one is designed by an independent artist from CCC Designs.
What to wear, what to wear? How about an old school classic?
Rowing Blazers and Lands’ End collaborate on seagoing wear and gear that is oh so perfect for the upcoming season. My favorite isn’t a blazer but a rugby that’s extra cozy with a boxy design weighting in at a hefty 10.5 ounce in preshrunk cotton. Gotta love this old school rugby with under arm gussets, tear proof placket (well almost), and rubber buttons. Old school!
Happy Labor Day!
Hard at work or hard at play, does summer really need to end? Maybe not in our hearts, at least not quite yet. Officially summer ends on September 23, but days are already getting shorter here in the Northeast and the cool, crisp breezes of late summer evenings hint of harvests, cowbells and cider. So, why not extend summer a bit by finding a fresh, new favorite tee or maybe some cozy, warm fleece to wrap up the season in style.

Happy National Wear Brown Shoes Day! To celebrate just wear your brown shoes all day.
It’s Labor Day and the rowing is easy. Temps are still lazily high here in the Northeast. And being close to water is an ah ha moment indeed. Yet the trees reveal autumn around the corner as leaves tease a bit of color suggesting cooler weather will soon be packing a punch with reason for warmer gear as the sun rises later with each advancing day.

Happy National Lobster Day!
“Maneuvering a single shell is like trying to stay upright on a giant knitting needle — a typical boat is 26 feet long and less than a foot wide; balance is either assisted or impeded by the oars, which measure about nine feet each. As sports go, it’s like aquatic tightrope walking, requiring both enormous precision and guts, and I was terrible at it for years — flailing, teetering, nearly flipping the boat on every outing.”
-Craig Lambert, rower, author of Mind Over Water: Lessons on Life from the Art of Rowing.
