Featuring versatile pieces for women in Murray’s signature fabric, consider this collection our modern twist on a Nantucket staple.
The Story Behind The Island Icon
Murray’s Toggery Shop opened in 1916, with Philip Murray as its manager. In 1963, Phil began selling men’s pants made of a faded red cotton, which he called “Nantucket Reds,” perhaps not knowing the legacy and trademark the term would have. As interest and demand for the fabric grew, so did the collection, delivering pieces for every member of the family. Murray’s is now owned and operated by four members of the family’s fourth generation.
We’re honored to celebrate the uniform of Nantucket by designing a collection of contemporary silhouettes in the heritage fabric that means so much to us.
Nantucket Reds™ is the official name of the red-washed canvas fabric produced by Murray’s Toggery. Originally inspired by the red sails on boats in Brittany, France, the material is guaranteed to soften and fade with every wear, wash, and sea breeze—meaning it only gets better with age.
Shop the exclusive Tuckernuck x Nantucket Reds™ collection here, or go and feel the fabric for yourself at our Georgetown flagship or at Murray’s Toggery Shop on Nantucket.
