Delta Apparel Acquires COAST Apparel Brand



September 15, 2016

Delta Apparel, Greenville, S.C., acquires substantially all of the assets of COAST Apparel, Pawley’s Island, S.C.

COAST began with a men’s polo shirt, but has expanded into a full line of traditional sports-casual attire, headwear and accessories. The company primarily markets through its two retail stores and website.

“We are pleased to add COAST to our portfolio of lifestyle brands and are excited about its geographic versatility and growth potential across regional markets. Our recent experience and success in nurturing and growing other young brands and start-up businesses, particularly Salt Life and Art Gun, have proven the benefits of early-stage investment in high-growth potential brands and business extensions,” says Delta Apparel chairman and CEO Robert W. Humphreys. “Through our infrastructure at Delta Apparel, COAST should be able to rapidly expand its footprint and grow its offerings to consumers. We plan to immediately add more COAST retail doors and build consumer awareness through enhanced digital outreach, positioning Delta Apparel for even faster e-commerce and direct-to-consumer growth.” — M.Q.
