ROWING BLAZERS TEAMS UP WITH MURRAY’S TOGGERY SHOP

by Stephen Garner

Rowing Blazers has teamed up with Murray’s Toggery Shop, the birthplace of “Nantucket Red” trousers, to offer a capsule of unisex styles in the distinctive shade.

Launching today, Thursday, July 8th the Rowing Blazers x Murray’s Toggery Collection includes elastic waist “gym shorts,” a long-bill baseball cap, and a bucket hat in the original canvas fabric, as well as a piqué polo shirt, and a full-zip jacket and vest in buttery fleece.

The red canvas – guaranteed to fade to a unique pinky, sometimes orangey, sometimes slightly cerise, salmony color – is now known the world over, but it began at Murray’s, an unassuming clothing shop at the top of Main Street on Nantucket Island. Often imitated, never duplicated, there is only one real Nantucket Red and it comes from Murray’s.

The Rowing Blazers x Murray’s Toggery capsule, which retails between $35 and $135, is now available at rowingblazers.com.
