Jack Carlson, an archaeologist and former national team coxswain, founded the brand in 2017 following the publication of his book on rowing blazers. The company gained cultural significance by reintroducing archival designs, such as the sheep sweater worn by Princess Diana. It occupies a specific place in fashion history for democratizing elite sporting aesthetics through high-profile collaborations. Its approach combines historical research with streetwear sensibilities to influence the resurgence of the preppy subculture.
