After three years of research and development, fabric testing, focus groups with distributors and end-users, leading active wear provider, Charles River Apparel, based in Medford, Mass. announced the nationwide launch of Charles River Sport, a shirt line made exclusively with TopShield moisture-management fabric.
“We didn’t make this decision lightly,” says president and owner Barry Lipsett. “We know how admired we are as being the ‘experts in outerwear’ however we couldn’t ignore the requests from our customers to apply our expertise to shirts. Lipsett continued, “This was a personal project of mine that I started several years ago and I insisted that the moisture-management properties, fabric hand feel and styling had to be perfect or I wouldn’t introduce it.”
Charles River’s new moisture-management shirt line consist of solid and color blocked polos and solid crewneck tees. All styles are offered in men’s and women’s complimentary designs. TopShield is not a treatment applied to the fabric, instead, TopShield’s wicking properties are built directly into the fiber’s structure.
