Nautica

CELEBRATING 40 YEARS For our 40th Anniversary, we celebrate the ethos that was established by founder and designer David Chu in 1983: to create nautical-inspired, quality pieces that allow people across the world to realize and experience the joy of the water. Starting with only six outerwear styles, Chu grew Nautica into a renowned global lifestyle brand with over 35 categories in more than 65 countries. Today, Nautica is one of the most recognized American brands throughout the world with over 80 US stores, nearly 300 International stores, and over 1,400 Nautica branded shop-in-shops worldwide.
