For John O’Donnell, the phrase “right place, right time” holds a lot of truth. The founder of johnnie-O can attribute just that to the start of his business. From its founding in 2005, johnnie-O has grown from a hobby between two friends, to the clothing dynasty it is today.

The 4 Button Polo

Between growing up in Chicago, living in Wisconsin and travelling to the east coast regularly, John O’Donnell spent a lot of time across the country before settling in southern California. His travels and life spent in the country’s various regions have allowed him to observe and embrace people from all walks of life. His knowledge of the lifestyles of the Midwest farmer, east coast prep and west coast “dude” were blended together to create the casual-cool brand that is johnnie-O.

The brand first created some shirts for friends on a golf trip. Now with a style defined as “West Coast Prep,” the brand quickly evolved from a line of ordinary polo shirts, to products for men, women and children including belts, hats, shirts, sweatshirts and other specialty items. The brand has developed a strong following, including the likes of celebrities from professional athletes to actors. johnnie-O has since expanded to create custom and corporate items.

johnnie-O is a nationally recognized brand philanthropically for its contribution in many charitable organizations including Autism Speaks, The BreesDream Foundation, Friends of Golf Foundation and The John Thomas Dye School Foundation to name a few.
