Lots of new fly fishing companies crop up yearly, and most of them don’t make it. \u00a0Not for lack of love or even for a poor product (although I have seen some humdingers in the area of look-no-hands rod management over the years, let me tell you). \u00a0Most of the companies that fail simply miss their window; they have the right ideas but at the wrong time, or the technology their product is based on just isn’t ready.<\/p>\n

And then there are the handful of others, like Fishpond or Howler Bros., who do catch the wave. \u00a0They usually do this with good design first, and a quality product to back that up.<\/p>\n

One company that I am starting to think will fall into the latter category is Marshwear<\/a>. \u00a0The brainchild of South Carolina guide\u00a0Logan Roberts, Marshwear is following the Howler Bros path of cool designs on functional, mostly no-frills clothes, for very reasonable prices. \u00a0I’m a particular fan of their Artist Angler series<\/a>, which marries technical clothes akin to what you’d buy from Patagonia or Simms with a Southern Coastal vibe. \u00a0It works. \u00a0Some of their designs are downright Southern Gothic.<\/p>\n

They also have a wide range of trucker hats (natch), but with some truly unique designs:<\/p>\n

\"delanonavy_1024x1024\" \"Mw_hat_stumpy_brown_2048x2048\" \"Mw_hat_rr_grey2_1024x1024\"<\/p>\n

Does this make Marshwear the next big thing? \u00a0Who knows! \u00a0I’ve been pretty impressed with the quality and creativeness of their designs so far, and I expect to see them making big strides at this year’s IFTD show, which is right around the corner.<\/p>\n
