Get at least one....
Sizing: Model is wearing size S, and so is Peachy, who improved on her trade show outfit at Kate's suggestion (she had been wearing a pink cardigan from Barney's...not so bad but come to think of it, we don't know Barney but we do know Johnnie O):
Johnnie O has a great team with depth behind the brand and here's Kate Murphy, Head of Product Development and Merchandising (do you notice the Irish theme...not lost on us!) They may have been showing the brand at a men's fashion trade show but anything boys can do girls can do better! (...and Kate knows not one but two ancients that graduated around the same time as Peachy from Farmington. They probably had the same English teacher that this site is named after tell them it's not who you know it's Whom You Know too.) You know initially we heard about this brand through the extremely enthused alumni/ae of that awesome school from Chestnut Hill that has a mission of promoting excellence everywhere....it certainly does help to be featured if your sibling is a Boston College grad when you've got a great brand. If you are as proud an Eagle as Peachy you will want to wear this brand too. It will look especially good in Conte Forum we believe cheering on the fantastic team of Jerry York, winningest coach in NCAA history in hockey! Maybe one day they will even make it in maroon and gold...we'll have to ask.
Right place, right time. So goes the story for the birth of johnnie-O apparel. It was back in 2004 that founder, John O'Donnell, was helping a friend with what might be called a "hobby". Little did O'Donnell know at the time that this so called "hobby" would turn into what it is today!
Growing up in Chicago, having lived in Wisconsin, spending lots of time on the east coast, and now living in southern California, O'Donnell had been exposed to all walks of life, from the midwest farmer to the east coast prep to the west coast "dude". The stage was set to build an apparel brand whose recipe included just a "dash" of flavor from all of the above.
As word quickly spread about the johnnie-O brand, an emergence of shoppers looking to "step out" in a classic, yet fun way followed suit. From its humble beginning as just an ordinary polo shirt, the johnnie-O line has evolved into an apparel and lifestyle brand distinctly defined as "west coast prep". Items for men, women, and children now include shirts, belts, hats, socks, sweatshirts, and other specialty items including all weather shorts, the "wedge" collar pique polo, as well as johnnie-O GolfSkins.
The brand has attracted the likes of celebrity personalities including NFL quarterback Drew Brees, tennis legend Pete Sampras, baseball ace Barry Zito, as well as actors Adrian Grenier of "Entourage", Luke Wilson, and brother, Chris O'Donnell. Additionally, johnnie-O sponsors the racing efforts of GT superstar and recent Rolex Series Rookie of the year, Tim George Jr.
The brand has also been recognized philanthropically for its contributions to numerous charitable organizations such as Autism Speaks, The BreesDream Foundation, Friends of Golf Foundation, The John Thomas Dye School Foundation, among many others.
