Coastal Apparel

Navy Blue Pullover Hoodie

Every city on this list — from Boston’s Harborwalk and Long Wharf to Charleston’s Battery and Baltimore’s Inner Harbor — is a place where the water sets the tone for how people move and dress. Our Navy Blue Pullover Hoodie was built for exactly these waterfronts: heavyweight cotton that handles the Atlantic breeze off the harbor, a colorway that fits every port city on the East Coast, and a silhouette that works whether you’re walking Penn’s Landing or watching ships clear the Port of Savannah. It’s the piece that belongs on every East Coast waterfront.
