Just how much toilet paper do you need for a trip to Antarctica
By Mark Ellwood
If Wes Anderson could have scripted someone's life, it would be Jack Carlson's. The 35-year-old grew up between Boston and London and pursued a passion for rowing on both sides of the Atlantic. He was the coxswain of the US national rowing team, and was also a member of the Boat Club at Oxford University, where he earned a PhD in archeology.
Rather than working in academia, though, Carlson opted for the rag trade and is the founder of the six-year-old preppie outfitter Rowing Blazers, which he named after the book he wrote on oarsmen's classic style. The brand produces clothing for many rowing clubs and teams and has become a cult favorite with offerings such as a reissue of Princess Diana's famous "black sheep" sweater.
