Great, great piece, guys!
Sloop is definitely on the must do list.

what a great piece. thanks for that. we were out there but didn’t stop at Sloop’s. It felt like we’d be intruding on someone’s home so I hesitated going up the driveway. Next time!

This is great! We stayed at Islands End in 2000 and discovered Sloop Jones the first day. Needless to say, we have a few pieces to wear and display at our home. Thanks for the great road trip.

First I love the music and the shots you all took b4 the chat and during.
I love Terry and Barbara, I have had many of their pieces and given many as gifts.
I totally agree with Terry when he says he does not mind the drive to Cruz Bay from the E. End it is beautiful……..he is right…….totally right.

Terry’s right about his shirts, ours are on their 4th year and still lookin’ good!! Thanks for a great video. Terry & Barbara invited us in 4 years ago and made us feel right at home. Love the east end!

I can’t wait to get one of those rum ties. That will be a conversation piece in the office!
Thanks for the great profile of Sloop. I’m heading to the East End first thing on the next trip.

no venture to St. John would be complete without a visit to Sloop’s. I’m always looking for someway to capture the island experience and bring it home for future reference. At Sloop jones all the color, vibrance and hospitality is ready to go. Each piece a memory of favorite island moments.

“Sloop” is my entire summer wardrobe. For years it has proven to be the most comfortable–no matter where I travel. Visiting the studio is a joy to behold. I love the beautiful flowers and fragrances that Barbara and Terry painstakingly maintain. Their love of their “Island Home” is a joy to share. So all this before you even get to the studio!! A must see experience.

Terry and Barbara, John and I love this video! I is a joy, Terry, to hear you talk about your work. You really are the master of color. Like others above, I have many Sloop outfits that I have worn for years and love them still! My newest, my 4th of July shirt, is just fabulous and I got a lot of compliments on it when I wore it on the 4th!
It is true, the trip to the end of the island is an adventure that ends with the idyllic tropical paradise that is Barbara and Terry’s home and studio. Dan Johnson, our best man, is coming to St John for his honeymoon soon and you can be sure we have sent this on to him!
