The Riviera Club label was conceived by Joe Sadler, Derek Buse and Greg Ullery on a golf course. The Riviera Club Fall Winter 2010 Collection is inspired by "Men's Outing Clubs" of the 50's and 60's, specifically a club called the "Dry Ski Club" of Dartmouth. This club trained for the ski season before the snow fell.
Riviera Club is the perfect blend of Surf and Snow.
Revolver sat with Derek, Greg, and Joe to talk about the brand, the fabrication and the soul of the line.
Q: What's the deal with Riviera club? What's the history, who's it designed for, and what ideas have progressed with the line?
A: RC was inspired by the golden age of California. Its designed for any guy who likes classic looks and premium fabrics. Stories help progress the line. Each season we choose a new story to tell which helps us unify the collections.
Q: The line seems very inspired by nature - woods, the ocean, etc. What do you love about these elements & how do you feel these natural aesthetic is incorporated into the line?
Q: Your site is packed with photos - from telling the story of your collection to your blog - what importance do you find in photography?

Q: Denim, knit, flannel, furr - how do you choose which materials & textures to include in the collection?
Q: You manufacture your pieces in the US - can you elaborate on your opinion of the importance of US made apparel and/or goods in general?

Thanks!
