SERVING THE SEA-LOVING CROWD SINCE 1949.

Steeped in the grit and pleasures of life on the water, Quaker Marine Supply offers a distinctive, irreverent take on classic East Coast style. QMS suits the aquatic life year-round, so when it came WLPH WR RSHQ RXU ŒUVW VWRUHV ZH PDGH VXUH ZH ZHUH steps from the water: the Long Island Sound in Southold and the East River in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

This season, we’re spending the holidays at home in the city. After a busy year that took us everywhere from Fishers Island to Havana, it’s nice to pull up a stool at our local watering hole for a catch-up ZLWK ROG SDOV $W 4XDNHU 0DULQH ZH RXWŒW SDGGOHUV and navigators, dune walkers and wave runners; yachtsmen, anglers, islanders, and beach bums. But that doesn’t mean you’ll be out of place sporting our wares on Fifth Avenue.

We try not to take ourselves too seriously, but our products and legacy are another story…

THE LOAFER JACKET

“Cooler than a blazer, but nevertheless with a hint of structure.”

– The New York Times When you need to polish it up a little, reach for our Loafer Jacket. Somewhere between a sport coat and a chore jacket, the Loafer can be dressed up or down with ease. This season, we teamed up with Abraham Moon & Sons, one of the last great woolen mills in England, to offer a range of Shetland Herringbones. They have a look and feel that only 187 years of heritage can produce.
