Part of our new Explorers Club x Tombolo Collection! 

Individually numbered limited edition label sewn into interior yolk. No more than 500 will ever be sold.

The Expedition Cabana is a tribute to Explorers Club nautical exploration, crafted from organic cotton terry cloth with an embroidered grid of longitude and latitude lines. On the lower back, ‘THE EXPLORERS CLUB’ sits above a row of international flags, while an embroidered ship sails across the grid, leaving behind an archipelago—two islands subtly forming ‘EC.’ Nautical details abound, from the square-rigged sail pocket with an embroidered mast and flag to the edge-embroidered collar, cuffs, and pocket. Bamboo toggle closures and a custom interior contract label complete this adventure-ready design.

DETAILS

🗺️ Carefully embroidered grid of longitude and latitude lines spanning the shirt.
🌐 'THE EXPLORERS CLUB' embroidered on lower back over a series of international flags.
🗺️ The back also features an embroidered ship navigating across the grid as it leaves an archipelago (look closely... two of the islands spell 'EC')
🌐 Square-rigged 'sail' pocket over embroidered mast and flag.
🗺️ Edge-embroidered collar, cuffs, and pocket opening.
🌐 Custom interior contract label. 
🗺️ Bamboo toggle closures.  
SIZING

Colin is 5' 11" with a 32" waist. He is shown wearing a size M. He is also shown wearing our 'The Explorers Club' 6-Panel Souvenir Cap (Wool). This cabana has a unisex sizing gradient. For men, fit is true to size.  For women, order one size down: e.g., if you typically wear a M, order a size S Tombolo. The two-way zipper allows you to open the bottom sweep so that it is not as constricting on the hips. A sizing chart is available in the product images.

STYLING IDEAS

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 low. While 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.

Crafted with a 6-panel construction and an additional crown patch overlay, our new cap pays homage to mid-century exploration, specifically Apollo astronauts who would don similar wool caps upon their return to Earth. The crown panel is embroidered with The Explorers Club motto, “Terra-Mari-Caeloque” (Earth, Sea, and Sky), while contrast laurels on the brim complement the detailed crown embroidery. Designed with a perfect heritage fit, it features a mid-crown, mid-depth profile and a custom woven interior contract label in the sweatband. A brown leather strap with an embossed antique brass clasp adds a finishing touch.

🧭 The ultimate souvenir tee: classic merch with a terry and chain-stitched twist.
🗺️ Embroidery of The Explorers Club’s iconic flag on pocket. The flag has flown at both poles, from the highest peaks of the greatest mountain ranges, traveled to the depths of the ocean, to the lunar surface, and outer space.

SIZING

The reluctant but extremely charming model in our campaign, Brian Gaisford, has been an Explorers Club member for nearly fifty years. He is 5' 10" and is wearing a size M.

ABOUT OUR EXPLORER

Brian has led over 100 safaris in twenty countries, and co-founded Hemingway African Gallery & Safaris with Ernest Hemingway's son Gregory in 1975. Via his gallery, Brian is committed to promoting and elevating art and artists to directly impact economic conditions on the African continent. Brian is also an activist who is committed to conservation by stopping poaching.

STYLING IDEAS

Try incorporating the red of the overlock stitch and flag elsewhere in your outfit (like Brian does with his cap and shoelaces).

SIZING

Our terry tees have a unisex sizing gradient. For men, fit is true to size.  For women, order one size down: e.g., if you typically wear a M, order a size S Tombolo. The terry tees have an intentionally boxy fit and drop shoulder. A sizing chart is available in the product images.

CARE & COMPOSITION

100% organic cotton terry (320gsm), carefully engineered to ensure lightweight comfort, breathability and ease of care. This fabric is double-faced - in has terry loops on both sides. Organic 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 low. While 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.
