Orvis Cotton Submariner’s Sweaters

February 26, 2013

By Michael Nolledo


Have you ever seen photos of JFK sailing? It’s ridiculous how much they make me want to whittle down my wardrobe to just the preppy nautical basics: navy or white t-shirts, polos, oxfords and chunky sweaters, like these Submariner’s Sweaters from Orvis.

June 8, 2010


I have to admit that, up until a short while ago, I harbored a less than favorable view of Orvis (I believe “a frumpy dad’s paradise of China-made banality” was how I referred to the chain at one point). But, I recently decided to look past my prejudices and give the store a second chance (mainly because I wanted to go drool on the Barbour), and thank goodness I did. If I hadn’t, I would never have discovered the company’s excellent Hemp/Organic Cotton Chambray Shirt. Read More »
