We’ve always looked for brands with an original story. With Johnnie-O, it goes beyond clothes that feel easy the moment you put them on, we’re drawn to the story behind the logo. The surfer in a thoughtful pause isn’t just a mark; it’s a point of view, a Southern California state of mind, active, present, appreciative of what’s right in front of you. That idea still guides the line today, pieces built for movement, designed with quiet intention, and finished with details you only notice when you wear them.
Why we chose Johnnie-O
At yachtwear.com, we curate labels that move as well as they look. Johnnie-O blends West Coast ease with East Coast polish through breathable fabrics, thoughtful cuts, and unobtrusive innovations. The result is coastal prep that feels effortless on and reads refined without asking for attention.
Who Johnnie-O is
Born in Los Angeles, Johnnie-O defined West Coast prep: relaxed attitude, precise construction.
- PREP-FORMANCE fabrics: comfort-first knits and wovens with stretch and moisture-wicking (and UPF on select polos).
- Tweener® Button: the patented “in-between” button for a consistently clean neckline.
- Hangin’ Out length: shirts cut to look right untucked—no tailoring, no guesswork.
The Johnnie-O lifestyle
Early light at the range, a walk along the coast, plans that ease into golden hour. The clothes fit that rhythm, airier fabrics, natural stretch, tidy finishes, so you can focus on the moment, not the outfit.
