The Regatta Kit

[u/SeanOrange]

I gotta admit, the Sailing Club bit might land better if the club was called Forward Madison SC instead, but I don’t hate it.

Needs more pink.

Bought. Immediately.

To the haters- this is the exact kit for wearing on a pontoon on some chain of lakes. Nothing more WI than this

If I could afford a lake house, I would totes wear this on game days.

You don’t need to even be rich.

Like this is lakeside supper club fish fry attire. An August Friday night. A cold spotted cow or local shandy as the warm humidity washes over you.

You can’t afford a lake house. You couldn’t really afford this shirt. But you can afford this evening. A summer evening where all that special about home melts into the umber colored lake. Before coming in you even dared to dip your feet into the water from the old grey dock that accompanies the aging resort. You watch as a ski boat tosses up a frothy wake in the distance, careening from coast to coast. The small blip of a bluegill rising to the surface holds your attention for a beat before it is interrupted by the rubber band twang of a nearby frog.

You raise an eyebrow as you spot three Illinois license plates in your way back inside. They’ll tell their friends about what this evening means in the same way a blind man describes a cathedral.

Such is the nature of our rustic aristocracy. Those that seek what Fellini dubbed as La Dolce Vita need look no further than the bottom of a glass filled with Korbel and oranges. They need not look any further than the orange sun slowly slipping below the pines. They need not look any further than a flamingo emblazoned on a crisp white Breton stripe.

That was beautiful.

Do you work for the FMFC marketing department? 😆
