Blue Marlin Corp was established in 1994 in San Francisco, California. They began making vintage baseball caps honoring the teams of the Negro, Latin and Minor Leagues from the early 20th Century. These hats were handcrafted in San Francisco and became widely imitated.
In 1996, Blue Marlin Corp introduced sportswear collections including the zip-front “New York,” “Brooklyn,” and “Havana” jackets. Their offerings include t-shirts, polo shirts, blazers, premium denim and a recently launched accessories line.
Blue Marlin’s fabrics, construction, design detail and finishing take their inspiration from the high standards of vintage craftsmanship.
Their fan base has grown to include Leonardo DiCaprio, Steven Spielberg, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Colin Farrell, Nick Lachey, Mos Def, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Ryan Phillipe, Matt Dillon, Terrance Howard, Chris Evans, Ryan Gosling and Jake Gyllenhaal.
In 2002 Blue Marlin created Five Star Vintage, a young men’s brand that took its influence from successful Blue Marlin styles. It has grown into an independent brand.
Among Five Star Vintage fans are The Black Eyed Peas, Nick Cannon, Diego Luna, No Doubt, Danny Masterson, Frankie Muniz, Chad Michael Murray, the cast of the OC and many personalities on MTV.
Blue Marlin Corp's CEO is Erik Stuebe.
