- Built in Portugal...Old School tradition for a new crop of mariners
A Captain’s role on a fishing boat includes many random chores that go beyond his ultimate responsibility as the “Master” on the vessel, which under maritime law, include all aspects of operation such as the safe navigation of the ship, its cleanliness and seaworthiness, safe handling of all cargo, management of all personnel, inventory of ship's cash and stores, maintaining the ship's certificates and documentation…and less we forget, the right to use deadly force to suppress piracy and mutiny. So, everyone, please behave!
No matter what the sea has put forth, when back at the dock with lines secured, engines silenced and the relentless sway of the sea calmed, it’s time for some well-earned personal tidying for both captain and crew.
And there’s no better combination to rejuvenate the senses and put those around at ease, than a freshwater shower followed by the donning of our Captain’s Uniform Shirt – light, airy and spry…pulled fresh from its assigned peg in the forward stateroom locker.
At first glance, it's doubtful you’ll appreciate the fit-and-finish that’s gone into the build of our Captain’s Uniform Shirt…the collar stand is a few mm’s taller than usual, and the shape is contoured and balanced to ride perfectly no matter how you choose to wear it. Its button-down points give the collar just the right amount of attitude while still commanding respect. A slightly narrowed and deepened front chest pocket won’t be obvious to all…nor will the slightly off-center buttons on the cuffs that make for a more relaxed fit when buttoned.
You will, however, immediately recognize the premium quality of its fabric as the sleeves glide up along your forearms and it begins to take shape as you draw it across your shoulders. Once saddled and buttons start meeting buttonholes, you’ll realize you are now wearing your new most favorite shirt. And what an ahoy moment this will be!

People Usually Ask
1. Where are your products made?
All of our shirts, pants, outerwear, sweater, belts and moccasins are made in Portugal, mostly in the same shops we've been working with for over 25 years. Our hand-sewn leather goods, hats and a few other items are made in America.
2. How would you describe the fit of your clothes?
Our fit is what we call contemporary, meaning they're not overly baggy or boxy, but have ample room and freedom of movement. Also, our outerwear is uninsulated, or very lightly insulated. It's cut with enough room to allow you to layer underneath, with a sweater, a vest or even a light down-filled jacket. For us, layering is always the way to go!
3. Will your shirts and pants shrink after washing?
Simple answer is no. All of our shirts and pants are pre-shrunk. At most you will experience a 2% shrink factor after washing and drying.
4. What is DryHandle®?
Dryhandle® is a 100% cotton, weatherproof fabric that we develop in 1995. Starting with 100% long-staple Egyptian cotton the thread is very tightly woven resulting in a fabric so dense that it's thornproof and, even at this stage, surpasses the U.S. government test for rainwear. The fabric is then impregnated through the proprietary DryHandle® process which irreversibly transforms the cotton fibers themselves to make them inherently water-resistant and stain-resistant. Unlike oiled or waxed cotton fabrics, DryHandle® is extremely lightweight, has no odor, won't stain other clothing or upholstery and resists stains from hard use and long wear. Despite being water-resistant, the weave contains millions of microscopic pores that vent moisture, making DryHandle® garments exceptionally breathable and comfortable to wear.
5. How long does delivery usually take?
Orders received by 2pm PST are usually shipped the same day. In most cases we ship via USPS Priority Package, and orders to the East Coast typically arrive in 4 days or less. West of The Mississippi orders arrive in 2-3 days.
6. How do i reach the founder of the company?
Easy! You can email him (that would be me, Engle) at engle@atlanticrancher.com or you can call me at 206-919-0943. I am around most of the time, but i miss you, I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
7. If an item is out of stock will you let me when it's available again?
We maintain an active "wait list." So when you send a message asking to be notified when the item, color and size becomes available, we actually do something worthwhile with your request. We catalog your request and email you once the item becomes available again.
8. Who writes your copy and are the stories true?
The answer to the first part of this question is: me, Engle Saez, founder of the company. For part #2...there's an old adage that applies here: "you can't make this shit up." And I will just say that the stories I tell are as true as I can make them and as accurate as my memory allows. That's a true story...
9: Where did the name Atlantic Rancher come from?
The origins of our company's name is a long story, one will share in blog post at some point. But for now, all should know that we are forever grateful to Susan Turner for her original and very creative idea.
10: How do I return or exchange a item?
