This shirt is the sistership to our Boatyard Pant and Boatyard Jacket…both birthed at the Marblehead Boatyard, 89 Front Street, circa 1995, and inspired by the wily cast of characters we fondly recall as the Boatyard Boys: Dinzi, Moose, Lars, Tobi, and a few others we can’t mention.
The Boatyard Shirt Story
This shirt is the sistership to our Boatyard Pant and Boatyard Jacket…both birthed at the Marblehead Boatyard, 89 Front Street, circa 1995, and inspired by the wily cast of characters we fondly recall as the Boatyard Boys: Lars, Dinzi, Jake, and a few others we can’t mention.
The backstory on this build is not one I admit often, as it involves an uprising of sorts staged by the Boatyard Boys telling me our shirts were now being made for and worn by the fancy lads at the Eastern Yacht Club and no longer fit for serious yard duty. “Wouldn’t be caught drowned in one of ‘em they told me." These rumblings soaked for a few weeks and after many after-work sessions around the community beer bucket, I finally got it out of them: “those nifty plaids shirts you’re passing off as work shirts ain’t work shirts.”
Alrighty then Boys, here you are…a tugboat of a work shirt you’ll die working in because it’s not one you’re going to outlive.
And what a bruiser of a shirt it is. It wouldn’t be so if not for the 100% cotton, 10oz heavy twill base fabric…you just will not wear through it. This build has doubled-up shoulder coverings, wrist-to-elbow wear patches, a sturdy built-up collar, extra tall chest pockets with snap closures and new, only available on this shirt, our signature dog-house button closure configuration. And to honor the Boatyard Boys unique sense of fashion, the shirts are garment dyed in their favorite colors: khaki, olive, burgundy and navy.
The Original Boatyard Shirt, one of our finest moments, is being reintroduced now as the 25th Anniversary Edition, even though we’re a little late due to all the s**t going on in the world. Each shirt carries the25th Anniversary Edition label and is marked with its unique serial number identifier.

I wear this out in the field and I'm not a delicate man. It chops wood, hikes for Elk sheds, and goes up into the Gila National Forest for Turkey hunts and more. It's a shirt, jacket, base layer or snow cover. It's the multi tool of shirts!
Great shirt highly made
Every time I wear my boatyard shirts I get great compliments. Yes, I ordered two of them. I love wearing them in town and on my boat on Catalina Island in California. Just ordered another shirt from their company for summer, cotton seerucker in blue.
Among the several pieces of new clothing recently purchased to freshen up my wardrobe this shirt is most frequently worn. The weight and handsome solid burgundy color of its cotton twill offer a comfortable alternative to the plaid flannel shirts which have been my go to mid season and winter wear for years. I’ve received multiple compliments for layering the shirt with red or gold t shirts under it to add a spark of color contrast. I especially like the way the fabric in the collar can be sculpted to stand up or lay flat and the functionality of the ample chest pockets. I’ve machine washed the shirt at least twice since purchase and am pleased with the way the fabric holds the structure of the shirt and its feel against the skin. It is plainly durable for years as I hoped. Exceptional quality priced fairly and affordably
For years, I have been on an obsessive search for the highest quality American/English utility clothing. Orvis. Barbour. Flint & Tinder, and Relwen. I did not believe there would ever be a brand that could approach Relwen. It was a ludicrous thought. Until I found Atlantic Rancher. AR went flying past Relwen and I along with it. I’ve never looked back. Every man on the planet should have at least one Boatyard shirt. This is one shirt that I would never give anyone off of my back. Keep up the good work Engle & Victoria.
