SIZING

  The reluctant but extremely charming model in our campaign, Brian Gaisford, has been an Explorers Club member for nearly fifty years. He is 5' 10" and is wearing a size L. He is also pictured wearing our Stowaway Shorts in size 36. 

Brian has led over 100 safaris in twenty countries, and co-founded the Hemingway African Gallery & Safaris with Ernest Hemingway's son Gregory in 1975. Via his gallery, Brian is committed to promoting and elevating art and artists to directly impact economic conditions on the African continent. Brian is also an activist who is committed to conservation by stopping poaching.

ABOUT THE COLLABORATION

Whether your idea of adventure is summiting Everest or too many mai tais at a beach bar, Tombolo wants to come along for the journey. We promise we’ll keep up.

As longtime purveyors of ‘Escapewear,’ Tombolo knows of no better escape than that which becomes a true adventure. That’s why we are so thrilled to partner with The Explorers Club on this exclusive capsule collection. 

Since 1904, The Explorers Club has championed scientific expeditions of all disciplines. Along the way, it has become renowned for the "Famous Firsts" accomplished by its illustrious members, including: first to the North Pole (1909), first to the South Pole (1911), first to the summit of Mt. Everest (1953), first to the deepest point in the ocean (1960), and first to the surface of the Moon (1969).

We designed this capsule in close collaboration with The Explorers Club to celebrate its tireless spirit of adventure.  A portion of proceeds will support The Explorers Club and its mission to advance field research, scientific exploration and resource conservation.

The Explorers Club is headquartered on the Upper East Side of our very own New York City. Learn more about the club here, including exploring its calendar of events – many of which are open to the public with registration. Those interested in donating can do so here.

STYLING IDEAS

This shirt looks great with our Stowaway Shorts in Khaki or Salt; or with a complementary pair of swim trunks (try our Palm Fronds Swim Trunks or our Pearl Divers). Wear this cabana shirt zipped up or unzipped over a beige or white tank top.

For women, this cabana shirt makes a great beach cover up over a bathing suit. It also looks great open over a tank top with khaki or linen shorts. 

This track cabana has a unisex sizing gradient. For men, fit is true to size.  For women, order one size down: e.g., if you typically wear a M, order a size S Tombolo. The two-way zipper allows you to open the bottom sweep so that it is not as constricting on the hips.
