Embroidered Rowing Club Polos

Embroidered rowing club polos carry the heritage boathouse aesthetic. The embroidered chest crest sits raised on the cotton pique, holds for the life of the polo, and reads as "real club identity" rather than casual screen print. Bear Grips Pro Shops handles embroidery on cotton pique and performance polos with no minimum order, ships in about a week.
