Unusual Places Where Nantucket Reds Traveled

How to represent your love for Nantucket? By wearing Nantucket Reds! They can be easily found on our beloved island during an afternoon stroll, while sipping a Frose at the restaurant, attending the wedding or at the golf course, but Nantucket Reds have also been spotted all around the globe! If you scroll down our Instagram feed, you will see where exactly our Nantucket Reds Collection items have traveled! They have often been seen in familiar places like Palm Springs and Boston suburbia, but they also reached some of the faraway places like Peru, Italy, and Japan!

If you are not familiar with Nantucket Reds (and we find this almost impossible!) here is a short history: they been introduced to the world in the 1960s by Philip C. Murray. They are made of red canvas fabric that fades over time and resembles the color of the sails that sailed the coast of Brittany and France! The only real Nantucket Reds are the ones made by Murray’s Toggery Shop, and while pants and shorts are the most popular, we have a huge collection that now includes hats, skirts, jackets, shoes and so much more! Every preppy has at least one pair of Nantucket Red Pants or Nantucket Red Shorts in their closet and they been worn for generations!
