The brand represents a relaxed, collegiate ethos, frequently associated with American campus life and outdoor leisure subcultures.
Geschiedenis
Barry T. Chouinard founded the brand in 1975 in Vermont, initially focusing on custom dyeing processes. It gained cultural significance through its widespread adoption within American university Greek life and campus organizations. The brand's history is defined by its refinement of the garment-dyeing technique, which colors the fabric after the garment is sewn. In 2015, Gildan Activewear acquired the company, solidifying its role as a primary supplier in the wholesale and promotional apparel sectors.
