considering the rigors of the
crew job. Pictured here is the

Anchors & Dove
Anchors & Dove is releasing new uniform lines
in September. Comfort and ease of wear is
essential, says Project Manager Natasha Burns.
“With each new design, Anchors & Dove tests
all areas of performance,” she says. While
it’s important that new designs look good,
they must be “super comfortable and easy to
wear,” Burns points out. Their fabric includes a
percentage of stretch to ensure crew comfort.
In particular, Burns highlights their technical
four-way stretch, which has been hugely
successful, especially in the women’s skort and
men’s walking short. “It is a great fabric that is
quick drying, wrinkle-free, machine washable,
with a lovely, soft hand feel,” Burns says.
The company has also used crucial yacht
feedback to update a few items of its core
collection. “Anchors & Dove believes crew
feedback is essential in making sure our
products are comfortable, flattering, and
performing well,” Burns says. “We are constantly
improving and expanding our product offering
and a big part of that is the development of
our fabrics,” says Burns, who adds that the
company has widened the fabric offerings
for its core range. They work closely with the
interior department to develop each uniform
and offer a “wide array of premium fabrics that
are functional, elegant, and chic.” They’re also
working on incorporating a recycled component
and are considering more natural fibers like
bamboo. “Anchors & Dove is very conscious of
the environment and our ecological footprint,”
Burns says. “We work with ethically certified
vendors in ensuring our footprint is minimal.”

STYLE & SUBSTANCECan crew uniforms be both comfortable and chic?
by Lauren Beck
While crew uniforms are, well, uniformly similar in some ways — hello shorts, skorts, and polos —
the uniform suppliers out there today are doing their part to stamp style and sass into new offerings.
Nine of the industry’s best share what’s new for this year and the style trends to watch.
DID YOU KNOW?
Anchors & Dove has launched its “Return,
Recycle, Reuse” program. Vessels can return
Anchors & Dove uniforms, the vessel’s
name will be removed, and the gear will
be donated. The company has partnered
with Melanesian Yacht Services, who
will help distribute these items to
villages across Melanesia.

Events Clothing
This year, Events Clothing launched its Trimmer short range (pictured right), which was created from crew feedback
and needs. “[Crew] wanted a work short that was lightweight but durable, that was comfortable to work in but
smart enough to be worn on charter,” says Lindsay Gardener of New Zealand’s Events Clothing. The material is quick
drying and breathable with four-way stretch for comfort and movability, durable, and UV-protected. The range’s
success has spurred Events to expand the range to include a women’s short and skort, and a pant for both men and
women is now in development. The company also plans to launch new color options at year’s end.
Custom seems to be key. “Crew don’t want to be dressed the same as the crew on the boat docked next to
them,” says Gardener. Events offers a number of customizations to fit any need and budget. “At the other end of the
scale, full bespoke collections are on the increase with completely one-of-a-kind design and colors being offered.”
While custom might be king, “This season has been all about dresses,” Gardner says. While you might not go
wrong with the black dress staple, Events is seeing more requests for custom colors and styles “that push the
boundaries of classic crew eveningwear.” Gardener highlights the new EOS dress (pictured right), which incorporates
nautical stripes that have proven to be popular on and off the water, season after season. “What’s fun about this
dress is that the pattern allows for a mixing of color combinations.” Another option, the Minerva dress, offers an
elegant evening dress alternative where the chiffon outer layer can also be customized to match the vessel’s theme.
Eco is also a concern at Events Clothing — the company is joining with companies like Patagonia to ensure
its core range is bluesign®-accredited. “Bluesign products have passed stringent testing to ensure garments
are produced in a way that protects the environment, the people involved in the manufacture, and the people
wearing it,” Gardner says. Recycled coffee beans infused with recycled polyester and mixed with 100 percent
cotton make up the company’s Grinder polo. www.eventsclothing.co.nz
Floating Life
“Every year, we aim at introducing new items to our collection by
responding to what the majority of our clients would like to experience.
Crucial to us is analyzing the market and following up with trends,” says
Annalisa Mutti of Floating Life. “In other words, by being in line with our
customer needs, style and design do not change drastically, but we are
highly responsive to the market and are always in the lookout for product
development.” The “Custom Collection” was created three years ago, and
Mutti says, “Clients demand [a] top-quality garment at a reasonable price.
We do our best in guaranteeing to find the best solution to their needs.”
New this year for Floating Life is the Pica, a technical formal dress
(pictured right), and Pintaca, a technical formal shirt. Both have
received good feedback. “Nowadays,
specific treatments guarantee fabrics
to be breathable, comfortable, fresh,
and ideal for every situation in
the life of a yachtie,” Mutti says.
Floating Life maintains that the
yachting industry is moving away
from cottons. “The future shines
for technical fabrics,” Mutti says.
One of those is polyamide, which is
“revolutionary.” “It is hypoallergenic;
therefore, unlikely to cause any
reactions and ultimately offers a sense
of freshness all day long,” Mutti says.
Sensitive is another fabric that Mutti
says is innovative, perfect for sharp cuts
and whose fibers are very thick between
them to allow maximum perspiration.
Customization is no problem — the
company offers a design consultancy
service, available 24/7, that can
custom create any outfit, regardless of
color and fabric. style.floatinglife.com
IDwear
“We are always working on new designs for our line, and we watch
and listen to what customers are responding to when deciding
on what new garments to manufacture next,” says Steve Mosher
of IDwear. Currently, they’re looking into a new Bermuda short
and a Capri pant as trends seem to be pointing to them coming
back — IDwear will consider reintroducing these to its core line.
“In keeping with the fashion trends, as well as the popularity of the
fabric in our garments, we will be manufacturing these new items
in our mechanical stretch microfiber fabric, which everyone loves,”
Mosher says. “It is a super comfortable stretch, wrinkle-resistant,
breathable fabric that is easy to care for.”
The company constantly tests new fabric technology. All pre-
washed cotton products, Mosher points out, can still shrink up to
five percent after the first 10 washes. “It might not sound like a lot,
but it is! We sanforize all our cotton products beforehand, which
guarantees less than 0.2 percent shrinkage,” Mosher says. “Recently,
we were experimenting with 3D resin logos,” Mosher says.
In recent years, Mosher notes, some boats have turned to
external brands for seasonal looks. While IDwear understands
the “desire to switch it up,” and are happy to help source items,
Mosher points out that it comes with issues — the problem with
“buying these high-fashion brands is that after one season, they are
discontinued, which in yachting is always a headache.” That’s why
IDwear’s core line — which includes both classic looks and more
modern “fun pieces” — is designed with a five-year shelf life, which
allows for uniform continuity. “This alone is worth its weight in gold
in the yachting industry,” Mosher says. www.idwear.com
Crew & Tailor
Based in London, Crew & Tailor is new to the market. They’re very
proud of their debut range — manufactured in Britain, and including
the Newel shirt, an alternative to polos, and the Chancel Tech dress,
featuring hydrophilic material that pushes moisture to the outer layer
to evaporate. They also offer a men’s short — the Transom short — with
the same properties. The men’s Rendered Trousers include “washdown
safe pockets.”
“We’ve focused on quality (which is synonymous with the ‘Made
in GB’ tag) and enhancing the wearability of [the] crew uniform,”
says Sienna Patterson of Crew & Tailor. How? By focusing on fabric
choice and “purposeful design elements — there’s a strong focus on
reformulating the expectations of a yacht uniform.”
The secret to their style? “Our integrative collection pairs tailoring
with textile technology and performance,” Patterson says. “As for trends
— naturally there’s a return to tailoring. We forecast monochromatic
color ways and there may even be a retro resurgence on the horizon,
but this time around it’s wearer friendly and technically advanced.”
The company has also developed a unique Crew ID system, which
eliminates the need for iron-on tags and marking uniforms. “The
system simplifies the uniform inventory and allocation process,”
Patterson says. They’re also working on a natural fiber line and a
uniform recycling program. As Patterson says, “I’ve seen the clothing
waste first hand when it comes to the end of a season.”

Smallwood’s
Smallwood’s is introducing two new collections — the Elements Collection,
which includes board shorts for men and women in navy and black (pictured
far left) with SPF 50, and the Breeze Collection, men’s and women’s shorts
and pants in soft peached twill with a nonrestrictive fit, mechanical stretch,
and resistance to fading and wrinkling. The line will be available in charcoal,
khaki, and navy, Helen Smallwood says. Smallwood’s also has a new dress,
skort, and polos debuting at the 2018 Monaco show.
Customization in an industry like yachting will always be hot. Smallwood’s
has several options, “like the laser etching on the pullovers [pictured left] is
a nice alternative to traditional monogramming or screen printing.” Color
is also growing more popular. “Grays — light and dark — are still the
most popular for bottoms, but we are seeing growing interest
in color and stripes,” says Smallwood. One thing she notes is
that while the custom business grows, “the most successful
programs build on stock items and inject customization
on select pieces to create a unique look.” Smallwood
notes that many larger programs are moving away from
full customization to avoid issues that come with fill-
ins and re-orders.
Popular trends that Smallwood has noticed
include easy care, quick dry, UV-protection, and
stretch fabrics. “We are currently experimenting with
custom-printed fabric in small quantities (50 yards),
which can be used for full garments or details like
plackets, pockets, and lining,” she says. With smaller
quantities (and enough time), Smallwood’s can now offer
custom options that incorporate logos and offer
“a designer brand feel to any uniform program.”
www.smallwoods.com
Liquid Yacht Wear
Theresa Morales of Liquid Yacht Wear points out that the growing size of vessels has
affected uniform design. “Radios are now no longer an option; they are needed by all,”
she says. Liquid’s new dress, the Secret Service Dress, has been designed with that in
mind — the belt is purposefully created to be able to bear a radio’s weight. “It’s also a
reinforced buttonhole-type treatment in the side seam so that the earpiece and wire can
run through the dress, thereby being hidden,” Morales explains. More boat size equals
more deck space, so that was weighed in design considerations. “To keep our stews cool
and looking their best, not only does the fabric have to be lightweight, but it cannot be
see-through in the outdoor light,” says Morales. “It is also notable that the skirt on this
dress was cut to be narrow so the wind doesn’t catch it during outside service.”
Morales notes these other trends: gray continues to be a uniform favorite, so Liquid is
offering more designs in various shades of gray. As of October 1, 2018, Liquid will offer 18
garments in gray, including all men’s and women’s bottoms in light gray and charcoal, and
charcoal board shorts, a silver rash guard, and a silver polo.
Also new are the Liquid Gold Shorts for men. “We patterned them after the shorter
shorts we see the guys wearing in Europe and California,” Morales says. “We thought
boating needed to catch up with men’s designs.” The style will also be available in pants
with a skinny leg.
What could be trendier than a jumpsuit? “Hot off the cutting table and new for the
2018 boat show season is Liquid’s Jumpsuit,” says Morales. “A lot of design know-how has
gone into our new fun piece: The waist has a hidden elastic band that can be turned over
if the stew is shorter, or left as is if she is not.” Once again, they have hidden a hole for the
radio earpiece and wire to be run inside the suit. The style, Morales says, “all add up to
Liquid stews rocking the latest trend.” www.liquidyachtwear.com

Zeidel & Co.
The crew life of work (and fun) in the sun sounds good, but the sun’s effects are not always so
funny. Zeidel & Co have recently been featuring the BloqUV Sun Protective Apparel (BloqUV
skort and shirt pictured), which blocks 98 percent of the sun’s harmful UV rays with a minimum
of UPF 50. Also big this year, says owner Montana Pritchard, are Sun Shirts and SPF products.
But Pritchard also sees another interesting trend, one that speaks to what seems to be
a growing need to be comfortable. “Inspired by the comfort and flexibility of yoga-wear,
Athleisure is the fastest growing trend in apparel,” says Pritchard. “New fibers enable greater
odor reduction, sweat-wicking, stretchability to conform to the body’s shape, breathability to
allow air in and out, and protection from dirt.” It sounds like the perfect setup for crew.
Pritchard also shares that they are seeing more vessels asking for “premium customized
guest gifts, from custom beach totes showcasing nautical charts of the upcoming trip to full-
color coin medallions featuring the yacht profile and dates of the charter.” In addition, “Special
location printing and full color printing are the new thing,” Pritchard says. He also maintains
that many of his clients are asking for full-color yacht logos but are changing things up — “not
the typical profile on the back of the shirt, rather on
the side of the shirts wrapping around the waist, for
‘something different.’” So yes, it’s possible to be both
chic and comfortable. www.zeidel.com
World of Yachting
“We are always working on new designs and have done so many custom projects
during the past four years that it makes it hard to pinpoint a trend in that each
custom job has been unique,” says World of Yachting owner Kristen DiMartino.
“We are always looking for the best fabrics with technical features such as UV,
breathability, bacteria control, quick dry, etc. There is always new development
— even in recycled goods and planet-friendly fabrics like bamboo.”
DiMartino has enjoyed her time in the industry, especially on the uniform side.
“How the industry has evolved and with younger crew coming in, they bring a
different perspective and wants, so we have fun putting some new spins on the
classics, while keeping them classy!” www.worldofyachting.com
