Charles River Apparel

In 1983, Walter Lipsett founded Charles River Apparel with an innovative yellow rain slicker. Inspired by the unpredictable nature of New England, he built the business on reliable rainwear that has since transformed into an ever-expanding line of styles that includes outerwear, activewear, corporate attire, and more. Three generations later, Charles River Apparel remains a family-owned and operated business based outside of Boston.
