Case Study
The Harbour Town Yacht Club
A complete uniform program blending nautical heritage, refined tailoring, and marine-grade performance.
The Harbour Town Yacht Club, Hilton Head Island, SC
Full uniform design and supply for Dock Masters, Marina Staff, and Clubhouse Personnel (100+ staff).
Creating a uniform that is elegant enough for the clubhouse yet durable and weather-resistant for the demanding marine environment.
The Challenge: Nautical Elegance and Durability
The Harbour Town Yacht Club required a uniform that reflected its prestigious status and location. The apparel needed to be instantly recognizable, projecting an image of professionalism and nautical heritage, while also standing up to sun, salt, and water exposure.
The CDM Solution: Performance Marine Textiles
We utilized a classic navy and white color scheme, incorporating subtle red accents for a traditional nautical feel. The key was the use of specialized marine textiles:
- Marina Staff: Quick-dry, UV-protective polos and shorts, with water-resistant outer layers for foul weather.
- Clubhouse Staff: Tailored navy blazers with custom brass buttons and crisp white shirts, providing a sharp, formal look.
- Executive Team: Bespoke-fit suits and separates for leadership, crafted from lightweight, travel-friendly wool blends.
Results & Management
The new uniforms successfully elevated the club's visual identity, drawing praise from members for their classic style and quality. The staff appreciated the functionality and comfort of the marine-grade fabrics. Our management system ensures that the club's seasonal uniform needs and inventory levels are always perfectly maintained.
"The attention to detail, from the custom embroidery to the fabric technology, is exceptional. CDM Inc. truly understands the needs of a luxury yacht club." — Commodore, The Harbour Town Yacht Club
