Tommy Bahama

Saturday starts on a porch, not a calendar. No meetings. No schedule. Just heat, salt air, and whatever shirt goes on first. Tommy Bahama built its whole catalog around that morning. The Island Bound chambray button-up wrinkles less than cotton and breathes more than most weekend shirts bother to. The Coast Scala polo swaps the usual pique for something softer that still holds its collar past noon, and the Bird Sanctuary polo repeats the idea in its own print. Pair either with the Coastal Key flat-front walking shorts and the outfit stays cool from porch to boat dock. Two Seattle menswear veterans, Tony Margolis and Bob Emfield, dreamed it up on a Gulf Coast vacation in 1993. They didn't write a real biography for their new label -- they invented one. "Tommy Bahama" was a fictional guy who never left the beach, and the founders built an entire wardrobe as if he needed one. Decades later, the shirts still answer to that same unhurried brief.
