Turtlebacks is a golf-inspired premium performance apparel brand for boys. Founded by a mom of three, the brand was created to fill the gap between what boys want to wear—comfortable, sporty clothes—and what occasions require—polished, dress-code-approved outfits. Our signature Play All Day Pants deliver the stretch and softness of sweatpants with the refined look of dress pants, making them versatile enough for golf, school, church, family photos, and more. Since launching, Turtlebacks has grown into a full collection of shorts, polos, and hoodies—all gear that boys actually want to wear, and parents are proud to choose.
Founding Story
Emily Sprague is the founder and creative force behind Turtlebacks. A former attorney and mom of three, Emily built the brand out of her own family’s needs: two young athletic boys who love golf, but resist traditional “hard” dress pants. She splits her time between Alexandria, VA, and Pinehurst, NC, where she’s deeply connected to the junior golf community. As both a mom, former D1 athlete, and entrepreneur, Emily brings an authentic, relatable voice to the brand’s story.
