Heritage & History
Boathouse Sports was founded in 1989 by John Strotbeck, a two-time Olympic rower who understood what athletes needed from their gear because he had competed at the highest level. Starting from a desire to create technically superior rowing uniforms, Strotbeck built a manufacturing operation in Philadelphia that could produce performance apparel on demand, made to order, without the compromises of mass overseas production.
The company has become the Official Outfitter of the USA Olympic Rowing Team, a relationship that reflects both the quality of the product and the brand's deep roots in the sport. Boathouse also outfits the USA Deaf Track and Field Team and Ivy League Rugby programs, and has dressed athletes at every level from collegiate club teams to national championships.
Made in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Every piece of Boathouse Sports apparel is crafted locally in Philadelphia at the company's manufacturing facility. Made-to-order production means athletes get exactly the configuration they need — colors, logos, sizing — without waiting on overseas supply chains or settling for off-the-rack compromises.
The rowing unisuits, training gear, and racing apparel are constructed from lightweight, moisture-wicking, 4-way stretch fabrics engineered to handle the demands of competitive rowing. Boathouse's Philadelphia manufacturing also enables the company to respond quickly to team orders and rush requests that would be impossible with offshore production. In a sport that requires precision fit and reliable performance, the ability to control every step of production locally matters.
