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. 

Care & Composition

 

100% organic cotton terry, carefully engineered to ensure lightweight comfort, breathability and ease of care. This fabric is "French Terry" -- the exterior has the terry loops like a towel, and the interior is smooth and flat. Organic terry cloth cotton uses less water than conventional cotton and no chemicals that can harm the environment and workers. Machine wash cold, and hang dry or tumble dry lowWhile we preshrink all of our fabric, cotton knit still has a tendency to shrink a small degree (~1-4%) on the first wash. To minimize shrinkage, avoid high heat dryers

    Bought a few outfits for

    "Bought a few outfits for a Cabo trip with my teenage boys and Tombolo absolutely delivered on the vibes. One kid rocked “Aw Shucks,” the other went with “Cabanabis,” and I wore “Gusanito. ” they might be the best vacation purchase I’ve made in years And will def be buying more for our next vacations! They are ridiculously comfortable, the quality is legit, and the designs get constant comments from strangers. Perfect shirts for pretending you own a beach cabana in San José del Cabo for the weekend. 🌴 10/10. My family now has a new vacation uniform."
