Rowing Blazers

Rowing Blazers is a New York-based brand known for its colorful, inclusive, slightly subversive take on the classics, as well as its cult following and limited-edition collaborations. Founded by American designer, archaeologist, and U.S. rowing team alum Jack Carlson in 2017, the brand combines elements from the worlds of tailoring, sportswear, and streetwear — helping to redefine “preppy” and bringing the classics to new audiences and a new generation.

Rowing Blazers began as a tailoring house dedicated to crafting club blazers (the world’s first sporting uniforms). Today the brand continues this tradition, but also draws inspiration from the “preppy” canon and the world of sport more broadly. Beyond tailoring, Rowing Blazers is also known for its rugby and polo shirts, outerwear, knits, leisurewear, accessories, and high-profile collaborations with the likes of Gucci, Target, Seiko, Barbour, Umbro, Tudor, FILA, Sperry, Noah, J. Press, Lands’ End, Zodiac, Eric Emanuel, Tracksmith, ’47, J. Crew, Beams Plus, The Grateful Dead, and the NBA. 

Named one of the top ten fastest-growing DTC brands in the world in 2021, Rowing Blazers has developed a cult following that includes Timothée Chalamet, Gwyneth Paltrow, Dwyane Wade, Emily Ratajkowski, Justin and Hailey Bieber, Mindy Kaling, Chloë Sevigny, Russell Westbrook, BTS, Tan France, B.J. Novak, Carmelo Anthony, Ashley Graham, Kit Connor, Joe Locke, Lukas Gage, Maude Apatow, Randall Park, Wayne Diamond, Millie Bobby Brown, Seth Curry, Ziwe Fumudoh, Jordan Clarkson, Will Ferrell, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Joe Keery, Chris Eubanks, Sebastian Croft, Christian Pulisic, Donovan Mitchell, Charles Melton, Daya, Hart Denton, Vic Mensa, Jules LeBlanc, Henry Eikenberry, Whitney Peak, Tom Daley, Russell Tovey, Madelaine Petsch, Toro y Moi, Ronny Chieng, Romeo Beckham, Asa Butterfield, Tracy Morgan, Joey King, Cam Norrie, Bara Strycova, Devin Booker, Vampire Weekend, Glass Animals, Adam Scott, Kerri Walsh Jennings, David Byrne, Dax Shepard, Mario Carbone, Thundercat, A$AP Nast, Macklemore, Suki Waterhouse, and Pete Davidson.

Rowing Blazers works with some of the best fabric mills, artisans, and workshops in the world, all of whom share the brand’s own dedication to quality, traditional craftsmanship, and ethical sourcing. Community has always been an important part of Rowing Blazers’ brand — with packed events at its New York flagship and partnerships with a wide range of organizations including Row New York, Play Rugby USA, Social Change Fund United, Save the Children, the NAACP, Stop AAPI Hate, the Robin Hood Foundation, the Bee Conservancy, and more.
