Chums

Chums

 In 1983 Chums inventor Mike Taggett was tired of watching his customers lose their sunglasses to the bottom of the Colorado River. This is where the idea for the Original Cotton Chums was born. Living in the back of a VW van with a $60 sewing machine Taggett started producing the first round of Chums. Grab a retainer for you favourite glasses, keys or hat, a wallet or phone float.
