SEBAGO x GARY JOBSON -

Some collaborations go beyond a simple meeting between a brand and a personality; they tell a story of craftsmanship and culture. With the SEBAGO x Gary Jobson collaboration, Sebago’s nautical world meets one of the great names in American sailing. It is a partnership naturally rooted in the brand’s history and a vision of sailing built on performance, precision, and passion.

A story deeply connected to the sea. Since its inception, Sebago has maintained a close bond with the nautical world. The American brand gained renown for footwear designed for sailing enthusiasts, creating models that offer comfort, grip, and durability on deck. This nautical culture has gradually extended beyond the realm of sailing itself. Sebago shoes have become iconic staples of the American wardrobe, embraced by sailors and fans of casual, heritage style alike. The collaboration with Gary Jobson is a natural continuation of this legacy.

Gary Jobson: an American sailing icon. Gary Jobson is a major figure in US sailing. A renowned sailor and tactician, he notably distinguished himself during the 1977 America’s Cup, winning aboard *Courageous* alongside Ted Turner. Yet his influence extends far beyond competition. Over the years, Jobson has become a commentator, author, and sailing ambassador, playing a key role in sharing and popularizing American nautical culture. His journey embodies a generation of sailors for whom sailing is at once a discipline, a craft, and a true way of life.

The deck shoe as heritage. The Sebago x Gary Jobson model honors the classic codes of the deck shoe while adapting them for a contemporary wardrobe. Its construction prioritizes the essentials: a silhouette inspired by traditional designs, robust materials, and a sole engineered for superior grip. More than just an aesthetic detail, every element recalls the shoe’s primary function: supporting the sailor on deck, in an environment where stability, comfort, and durability are essential.
