The worlds of sport and fashion blend at Rowing Blazers, a New York-based brand and studio. Rowing Blazers is a culmination of an active life that appreciates the laid-back sophistication of traditional rowing clubs. Jack Carlson, U.S. National Rowing Team alum, archaeologist and founder of Rowing Blazers, effortlessly stitches knits, leisurewear, rugby and polo shirts with the fine tailoring flaunted at sports clubs around the country. 

Artisanal elegance is woven through the fiber of each piece, which has lured head-turning, luxury-loving collaborations from the likes of Seiko, Barbour, Gucci, Lands End and so many more names that embody the fashion of America’s preppy scene. 

Rowing Blazers not only tells a timeless tale of America’s nostalgic sports club past, but it also fosters a community of care. Philanthropy plays a major lead in the brand’s story, with partnerships with Save the Children, the NAACP, Play Rugby USA, Social Change Fund United, Row New York and others. 

At Rowing Blazers, sophisticated style is more than an outfit; it’s an identity of American heritage that makes luxury your casual day-to-day.
