What to know about Tombolo
The camp shirt is the whole thesis
Tombolo builds nearly everything around the cabana shirt — unisex short- and long-sleeve camp collars in rayon poplin, Tencel and linen, sized for both men and women.
Prints are designed, not licensed
The souvenir prints are original and deliberately kitschy, with artist collaborations driving much of the program, so the pattern is the reason to buy rather than the cut.
Vacation dressing beyond the shirt
The line the founders call "escapewear" extends into terry-cloth sets, trousers, swim and knitwear, all pitched at the same resort-adjacent register.

Brand facts
Tombolo is a New York label founded by childhood friends Mike Sard and Chris Galasso, who left careers in political risk and financial PR to remake the Hawaiian shirt. The independent brand calls its output "escapewear" and bills itself the home of the cabana shirt: unisex short- and long-sleeve camp shirts in rayon poplin, Tencel and linen, plus terry-cloth sets, trousers, swim and knitwear built around original, kitsch-leaning souvenir prints. Collaborations with artists drive much of the print program. A flagship store operates on Mott Street in Lower Manhattan.
