ROWING BLAZERS X HARRY’S NEW YORK BAR
Over the past century-plus, the legendary establishment has counted various luminaries from the worlds of literature, music, art and politics among its patrons. Ernest Hemingway, Coco Chanel, Bill Tilden and Humphrey Bogart drank there; Ian Fleming incorporated it into “From a View to a Kill"; George Gershwin wrote “An American in Paris” in Harry’s cozy basement piano bar. And in addition to its celebrated clientele, Harry’s has also had a major influence on the world of cocktails, having invented some of the most classic drinks of all-time: the Bloody Mary, the Sidecar, and the French 75.
“‘HARRY’S NEW YORK BAR IS EVERYTHING WE ASPIRE TO BE AT ROWING BLAZERS: INCLUSIVE AND UNASSUMING, CHARMINGLY RIDICULOUS, BUT WITH A HINT OF OLD-WORLD GLAMOUR AND A DEEP, DEEP APPRECIATION FOR HISTORY.’"
Especially esteemed regulars - including Rowing Blazers Creative Director and founder Jack Carlson - are inducted into Harry’s very own secret society: The International Bar Flies (or I.B.F.). Its rules for members are as follows:
“Harry’s New York Bar is everything we aspire to be at Rowing Blazers,” explains Jack. “Inclusive and unassuming, charmingly ridiculous, but with a hint of old-world glamour and a deep, deep appreciation for history.” The Rowing Blazers x Harry’s New York Bar collection - executed with help from Harry’s great-grandson Franz-Arthur MacElhone and featuring the bar’s famous cartoon barflies - includes a heavyweight rugby shirt, a polo shirt, a coach’s jacket, corduroy baseball caps, long- and short-sleeved tees, sweats, accessories, and a green golf sweater made to match an original souvenir from Jack's first visit to “Roo Sank Doe Noo”.
