The Explorers Club Outfitters

The original Explorers Club Watch Cap. Available only in classic red, featuring our waving flag embroidery.

You've seen this one many times before. The watch cap, typically knitted in this bright red color, has become a true symbol of nautical exploration. It's been worn on expeditions all over the globe, from Cousteau's undersea odysseys, to Heyerdahl's oceanic crossings, to Cameron's Challenger Deep dive into the Marianas Trench.

Today, The Explorers Club continues this tradition. Members proudly don these caps in the field, at headquarters, and everywhere in between. Order your own piece of exploration history.

Made in Normandy, France, in collaboration with Saint James, nautical supplier established in the 11th century. One size fits all. Please note this is a snug, slightly shallower fit -- just like it's always been. Machine wash, wool cycle. Reduced spin. Do not soak.

Our Diner Mug, featuring a vintage 1957 Explorers Club Annual Dinner hand drawn design. Made in the USA by Homer Laughlin, founded on the banks of the Ohio River in 1871. Available in 9 oz. (medium) and 13 oz. (large) capacities. 

This mug has a fully vitrified construction that will not absorb odors or moisture. It's perfect for servings of hot coffee or tea (or Explorers Club scotch!) and has excellent heat retentive properties. Featuring a high-fired, lead-free glaze, it has a glossy finish but maintains chip-resistant durability.

13 oz. Top Diameter: 3 3/4" / 9 oz. Top Diameter: 3 1/4"

Our Rugby Shirts are inspired by the ones that rock climbers and mountaineers used in the 1970s, prior to the sport’s popularity. Climbers would often use army surplus and thrift stores to supply expeditions.

The most iconic garment of this era was the Rugby Shirt. Made from a rugged, sturdy cotton, these classic, long-sleeved shirts protected climbers from the elements. Its collar specifically provided much-needed protection from metal climbing gear such as clamps, allowing them to rest more comfortably on the neck.

These rugby shirts feature 100% heavyweight cotton, rubber buttons, and a relaxed fit, prominent in early, 1970s samples. A discreet Explorers Club embroidery is placed on the left arm, for your expedition team to notice when summiting El Capitan. Available here in ivory with red and navy stripes, as a compliment to our Club Flag.

Limited supply. Includes custom Explorers Club woven interior tag not included in images.

Our hand-stitched needlepoint card wallets are finished with English bull hides tanned in Italy. This slim wallet style (4” by 3”) provides enough room for cards or cash (or a Membership Card!) but does not take up too much room in your pocket. Great for carrying in your front pocket and something less bulky for a night out at Headquarters! Features our classic Explorers Club Flag in needlepoint stitching.
