One of the best parts about running a site like Bows & Boats is when up and coming brands reach out to us to introduce a new product or line. Recently, a pair of ladies based in New England reached out to us with something we rarely see from new companies, tunics. Sure, there are a ton of tunics on the market, but how many are coming from small companies and being made in the USA? From what we can tell, not many, so we are happy to introduce you to Port Winsor and their Wellesley Tunic ($155).
The Wellesley is Port Winsor’s third Tunic to come to market, and the first that is made primarily for the cooler months. Made of a crisp 100% cotton, the tunic has a hidden full length side zipper for easy dressing. Handsewn in New England with the Port Winsor anchor logo stitched on the hip, the Wellesley features a cut that is far more flattering than many tunics on the market thanks to a few well placed back darts. Whether you pair it with a light colored pair of cords, or a dark pair of jeans, the Wellesley is a great piece for those days when comfort is key but a compromise in style is not.
