Boathouse Sports

Our head of the retail division, Jenny Coates, shares her answers to 20 Questions from the team at Women in Retail Leadership Circle We particularly love number 7: Q: What are you looking forward to the most for the industry over the next year? A: I’m excited to see how the industry will continue to prioritize sustainability and ethical sourcing, especially in manufacturing. Working for a company that proudly produces its products in the USA, I know how important it is to maintain high standards of quality and integrity. As more consumers seek transparency and local production, I believe we’ll see a shift towards more brands embracing domestic manufacturing. This not only strengthens local economies but also allows for better oversight on environmental and labor practices. I’m particularly excited about how innovation can enhance both sustainability and the performance of made-in-the-USA products.

Last week, I was beyond thrilled to see this collaboration come to life! Two Philadelphia-based icons, Boathouse Sports and Underdog Apparel, launched their first collaboration - a lightweight sweatshirt with felt embellishment. This partnership combines the performance-driven apparel of Boathouse, founded by former Olympian John Strotbeck, with the socially conscious mission of Underdog Apparel, founded by ex-NFL star Jason Kelce.??The result is a collection that not only looks good but does good! For every item sold, 100% of the proceeds will be donated by Underdog to the (Be)Philly Foundation, a non-profit organization that funds evidence-based programs to improve the lives of Philadelphia’s youth.

?? Thrilled to be named among the Best of Philly! ?? Staying true to our roots, we take immense pride in producing all our best-in-class outerwear and team gear right here in NE Philadelphia. As the Olympics heat up, we celebrate being Made in the USA and extend a heartfelt thank you to Philadelphia Magazine for this incredible recognition! ????

We were excited to collaborate with Jason Kelce and the Underdog Foundation by creating flags for their inaugural The Underdog @ Manufacturers golf event yesterday! It was a fun-filled day with all profits benefiting Be Philly Foundation, Coded By Kids, and Heights Philadelphia. Supporting local causes is central to our mission at Boathouse.

Our Olympian Collection is a tribute to the spirit of athleticism and the enduring legacy of our nation's journey in the Olympic Games. Rooted in our rich history and the legacy of our founder John Strotbeck, who himself was an Olympian, this collection celebrates the pursuit of excellence and the triumph of the human spirit.

We are thrilled to share our collaboration with Sea Bags on this unique windbreaker jacket. Both our brands are born on the water and share a commitment to quality, American craftsmanship, and community values: It's rare to find a partner as aligned with our core values as Sea Bags. Working together, we've created a jacket that embodies the best of us both. We look forward to more innovative collaborations in the future! Sea Bags, LLC https://lnkd.in/esqtbNAw

PHL - The three letters aren’t just an airport code; they’re a symphony of memories, dreams, unwavering pride that comes with calling Philadelphia home. PHL - is a silent understanding passed between the wearer - a recognition of shared roots and the stories that unfold under the skies of Philadelphia. Like Boathouse, Philadelphia has a story to tell-one of resilience, diversity, and the unspoken camaraderie that binds people to the place they call home.

???? Authenticity: More than a Buzzword, It's Our Foundation ???? In a world where 97% of apparel is crafted overseas, we take immense pride in being the exception, not the norm. We're not just a brand; we're a testament to authenticity. Staying true to our roots, we've never wavered from our commitment to being proudly made in the USA. Our journey began with a vision, fueled by passion, and shaped by the dedication of a two-time Olympian, our founder. Quality isn't just a standard for us; it's a way of life. Our outerwear isn't just a garment; it's a representation of the craftsmanship that thrives within our borders. As we reflect on the 2023 word of the year, 'Authentic,' we see a mirror image of our values. It's not just a trend; it's a lifestyle we've embraced since day one. We are unapologetically authentic. Behind every stitch is a story, and behind every piece is a commitment to our local community. We're not just a brand; we're a family that supports and employs talented individuals right here in our backyard, North Philadelphia. Join us in celebrating authenticity, not just as a word of the year but as a guiding principle that defines who we are. Thank you for being part of our journey, a journey that's as genuine as the products we create. Thank you to everyone who has supported Boathouse. ??
