We are proud to introduce the latest addition to our collection of legendary colors, Slate Blue/Autumn Glory, in honor of the University of Virginia!
A Brief History of Robert Redd & The University of Virginia
The fascinating and unpredictable Legend of Robert Redd was in part forged by his time at the
University of Virginia. Indeed the Legend of Robert Redd began in his early years, yet, was
further bolstered while attending The University before the turn of the century.
It is fitting then; the Legend and the University are brought together in this year, once again.
Like those years after Reconstruction, Charlottesville was, at worst, an environment of open-
mindedness and creativity. Robert Redd was a Cavalier of course, evident in his zest for
progress, his love of fine ladies, and a most unique sense of humor.
Robert Redd occasionally found himself prey to the beautiful ladies at the University… apparently,
he was quite well thought of. While attending the university Redd had his hand in many projects
and endeavors. In fact the REDD Gentlemen’s knit shirts inspired by the Legend of Robert Redd
are superbly designed and fit the frame of any gentleman and even a lady or two…Thus making
him twice, nay thrice as desirable!
The Robert Redd UVA shirts are not only in high demand, but made specifically for lovers of the
University.
Please see our unique and fun color story of the founding of the University of Virginia Colors of
Orange and Blue how Robert Redd allegedly played a part.

The Doering: Cool, swift and graceful—like the perfect golf swing, or an immaculate fly cast. Or driving along a winding country road in a Ferrari, your hood down, effortlessly hugging the curves. You get the idea.
At REDD, we design each of our shirts to produce a particular effect. Each has its own style, purpose, character—you might even say a persona. The Doering is the latest addition to the REDD family of knits, and what sets it apart, not only from our other shirts but from any polo of its kind currently on the market, is the way it lets you move: with the fluidity of a dancer, the precision of a surgeon, and the follow-through of a championship golfer.
Look: We can't promise you that wearing The Doering will imbue you with the golden touch. Mastery of any skill requires tremendous time and effort; meticulous attention to every detail of your craft; and, more than anything, the tenacity to persevere through the inevitable plateaus in your development. And The Doering is ideal for just that. With its lightweight, generous Sporting Fit, open sleeves and razor sharp lines, it's specifically designed for the crafty gentleman—or the gentle craftsman—invested in the honing of his practice and the cultivation of a surefire, hole-in-one maneuver.
And speaking of sharp lines and slick maneuvers, gents, The Doering works just as well on the ladies as it does on the green.
Click here to take a look at The Doering in various sizes and colors.

The Charles: Unique, versatile, classic and yet fashion-forward—a knit made to match every gentleman and gentle everyman. Let's face it: There aren't many shirts that look good on both the halcyon youth and the experienced man in autumn, but The Charles is one of those few to strike a handsome note at any age, making it the perfect keepsake. And with its quality composition, self-fabric collar and make of 100% pure Peruvian Pima Cotton, it makes the perfect heirloom as well.
In a Charles, you'll always feel dressed for the occasion. In the club or on the court, out on the town in the middle of the day or wining and dining with the lady of your choice, The Charles suits your style needs and then some. Don't miss out on one of our best-kept secrets—check out The Charles in various sizes and colors.

The Murdoch: Sturdy, classic, quintessentially REDD. For young guns exuding confidence and an adventuresome spirit, and sporting a lean figure to boot. The most high-definition REDD knit, so to speak—perfect for the gentleman with an eye for impeccable detail, and eyes on him for the same.
As we've said before, REDD designs every make of shirt with particular personal qualities in mind. The Murdoch—a lightweight jersey available in both Classic and Slim fits, each featuring the signature left chest pocket and three-button placket—distinguishes itself for being perhaps our most powerful shirt, striking a bold statement with its flat-knit collar and banded sleeves, yet remaining in possession of a quiet, steady reserve. Exuberant, but not loud; forceful, but not violent; fitting you with the white-hot precision of a laser beam. Look up "strapping" in the thesaurus, and you'll see "The Murdoch." And then the thesaurus will explode.

Robert Redd, LLC has come a long way since our early days.
I first conceived of Robert Redd®, the Concept, Brand and Products offering while renting a summer cottage in the dead of winter in Newport, Rhode Island; about four months after 9-11. At that time I was selling software/global partnerships and working for a company that sold a platform that didn’t work so well.
In the preceding years, I had co-founded an educational software company and I just knew that I wanted to do something else (again). I had already created Earlyman, my consulting firm that specialized in branding and marketing, but it was very important to me to create a business out of something tangible.
Initially, I wasn’t sure what that idea would be, but I knew I wanted to stop focusing on revenue models that were based solely on advertising and sponsorships. Additionally, I recognized that if I really wanted to do well financially, I would have to sell something of quality that worked and worked well. Hence the desire to find the finest materials on the planet!
Most importantly, I decided that then and there if I were to use the finest materials, I would also have to come up with a compelling story for this product, whatever it would be. Everyone knows that a good story is the oldest form of entertainment on the planet. So I set out to couple the two in the most memorable way.
The Legend of Robert Redd™ was naturally the most effective delivery mechanism for future products that I would create and sell. Once the foundation for the Robert Redd brand was established I set out to compliment it with ideal products.
Naturally, I contemplated all kinds of tangible products. From electronics, to building materials, to writing, international shipping, to apparel…I am a clotheshorse and it seemed like a good idea at the time, so I investigated apparel more deeply.
I would learn that one of the finest and most superior quality materials available for producing apparel was Peruvian Pima Cotton. Coupling that material with my unique idea for branding, marketing, packaging and positioning would produce a unique product, but what product?
I started with gentlemen’s knit shirts: The Charles and The Murdoch. I knew if I could produce the first styles and successfully brand it with the Robert Redd name, I would have a winner.
And we do!
Thanks to our wonderful customers, partners, employees and supporters Robert Redd’s legend continues to grow!
In the next post I will shed some light on how the Legend of Robert Redd comes to life and how the story unfolds. Until then, we hope that you will follow us and share your thoughts with us as we trudge the road to happy destiny. Please enjoy, as we share our experience, strength and hope with you!
Here’s to you with future adventures in mind . . .

For most of the US, tonight marks the night where we move
our clocks forward one hour and begin Daylight Savings Time. Some grumble
(yours truly included), saying we are losing an hour of sleep. On the other
hand we should take this as a mark able opportunity to get a jumpstart on
spring.
Several things are advised you do this weekend in preparation
of the spring (checking your smoke alarm), but I am going to give you a
piece of advice for springing your wardrobe into the warmer months of the year.
This is something Robert Redd knows a thing or two about… we do make short
sleeve knits!
So, you took advantage of our Early Spring Sale (if not,
don’t worry there are still a few days left), and now you need some pants to go with that Antiguan Blue/GG Green
Murdoch that just arrived in the mail.
Well here are a couple of suggestions for you:
Bonobos - At their core a true trouser company. Many styles for every occasion. A pair of Easter Island Chinos are the perfect all cotton pairing to your REDD shirt.
Bills Khakis – A great selection of various weights. For the spring I suggest the Leightweight
Cotton Poplins
Mountain Khakis - More option and Colors. For spring try the M's Lake Lodge Twill Pant. They have a
women’s and kid’s line as well.
Keep in mind, these two suggestions are merely my opinion and you know
what they say about opinions…
Speaking of opinions, I would love to read about your favorite bottoms to
go with our tops! Leave your comments
below.
