- Over the past 20 years, Shep and Ian Murray have built a Vineyard Vines into a business that would impress both Warren and Jimmy Buffett. Founded in 1998, the company now has 95 stores, and sales of its colorful, whale-logoed shirts and neckties hit $476 million in 2016. Even more impressive, the Murrays have managed to scale while maintaining 100% ownership of the company, which Goldman Sachs reportedly valued at $1 billion two years ago when the brothers explored selling a minority stake.

Their tees are comfy af and they fit roomy enough to move. My new fav brand, plus their quality is top notch.
When I was at Villanova university a year ago, almost all the kids wore Vineyard Vines. Now I'm at Temple University, I've never seen anyone wear this brand. The difference is the median income of a family from Villanova is $200,000, but at Temple, it's $80,000. The prices of Vineyard is not affordable to the average family.
just bought 11 tshirts for $205. not too bad since its on sale 50% off. i also get 10% cash back
Get your money up not your funny up .
Yes, so it’s for pompous assholes, I agree.
This brand is taking over honestly
I love their clothes! I have a vineyard jacket for almost 10 years and it’s still in great shape and super warm. I also have 2 vests, a pullover sweater, and a cute blue cap from them. Ralph Lauren and vineyard vines are my favorite brands.
Vic292 did not ask nerd
aJordan Probably just hating because you can’t afford their clothes? 🤣🤣🤣 you mad?
I wear their stuff. It fits nice
Marvin Simelton it really does honestly
Same
I own some of their products. I get it from the outlet store near me. Super cheap and convenient. I know their regular stores are expensive but they have a lot of items on sale.
Their clothing is extremely comfortable, I wear it every day.
Everyone is starting to wear it now 😐🙄🙄🙄🙄
Fan Of Horror I know it’s annoying
Lol
A M cause it’s good quality and super comfortable
I mean, it’s the modern day Abercrombie.
Very expensive which sucks BUT I’ve never been more comfortable than I am in a pair of their performance shorts and a performance polo. Or their t shirt on the beach, the sleeves on the t shirts are kinda big for me but if you can let that feeling go in your mind you’ll realize you’re super comfortable.
FYI. They grew up in Greenwich Connecticut, and went to private school. I live next door to Greenwich. CHECK the Income per household in Greenwich. These guys were wealthy going into the Business. Greenwich is probably the wealthiest town in the United States. one for sure. Quitting your job is not that easy! FYI I live right next door to Vineyard vines, and All my next ties are from Vineyard vines, and Brooks brothers. I definitely support them ...
Im from Connecticut aswell
@BH Paradox THEY LIVED IN GREENWICH! DO YOU KNOW GREENWICH IS LIKE THE WEALTHIEST TOWN IN LIKE THE COUNTRY.. THESE GUYS WERE BORN INTO WEALTH LOL
@@synder1461 :3 NICE
@BH Paradox dude I'm telling you a small house in greenwich is like 1 million dollars. I live in Darien CT right next to greenwich my house was super small and on the market it went for like 1.8 million... Greenwich is super wealthy .. Rodeo DR has nothing on the wealth is CT.
@@iTzShakenJoE Ok, Jew.
This is the new Abercrombie
Lol but The difference is Vineyard Vines stores don’t give you a migraine from all the cheap cologne and body spray and it actually is marketed towards all age groups and not just teens.
@@milehigh1890 and they don’t make you feel like you don’t belong haha
Just realizing I was pronouncing it wrong...
581fl same
you say your not in it for money.....then why is a button down shirt $195 or a polo is like $100 .......your clothes is way over priced for the average working stiff, and all that over priced clothing is making you filthy rich......sounds like greed to me
U should design your own cloths to help out the lower class people then ☺️
Worn these my whole life and the sport long sleeves are the best ever it’s just the cotton casual shirt the neck stenches
Amazing clothing, worth buying!
i wear their stuff and it’s really nice and comfortable. i would recommend it to literally anyone
Love VV not a lot of people wear these in my school but most girls know about the brand except they just don't have the money to afford one. I own 5 of these, and hopefully I get more in Christmas 😏
Update: I got 7 long sleeves now so I can wear different ones in a 7 day week, man everyday should feel this good 😉

A clothing company
Why do half the kids at my school wear this expensive stuff it’s a public school
Are you sure?

You know, I don’t say this enough but I love whales, whales are cool
Basic White Guy Apparel thats colorful
I wouldn't say white guy. It's a preppy branch. Clothing should never have a race attached to it.
Yosef Roth How many Asians & Black have u seen modeling & working for Abercrombie and Fitch before 2010?
For frat boys with no personality.
Wow

LOL im getting addicted to it. I got 1 Longsleeve and a shirt. I want to buy more but i guess im just gonna try my luck through thrift stores. Hahahah.

Shep & Ian . At this rich kids school where the kids are mostly drunk or knocked out on weed and Xanax, this is the go to clothing. I’m retired Army, so I don’t get along with that crowd trying to do graduate school.
These guys sound drunk
Vineyard vines who?
😅😂🤣😭😅
Expensive trash
Its not even that expensive. When i think lf expensive clothes i think of gucci and all the diesigner brands. I dont even like the brand but to me Vineyard vines is affordable
Not expensive, it’s good quality and fresh clothes
@@JL-ut4md $228 for the Guana Floral Tiered Midi Dress?? That’s literal gas and grocery money dawg I have no idea what kind of life or community ur from, but that is nooooooot affordable for the majority of us working class people lmaoooo
