Very few clothing brands can be associated with the terms “150 years,” “timeless,” “exceptional quality,” and “handmade” in one sentence. Sunspel, the independent British clothing company, however, represents all of this and more. Since 1860, Sunspel has made menswear known for not only it sophistication and high quality but also for their innovation and extremely long life. Sunspel made some of the “worlds earliest t-shirts and underwear” and also introduced the boxer short to the UK in 1947. Paul Smith, Margaret Howell and Thom Browne are just a few of the brands with which Sunspel is proud to have collaborated. As Lindy Herning, the Academy Award winning costume designer, states, “There have been many characters I have dressed in Sunspel vests, t-shirts and underwear because they are classic, timeless and beautifully made.” Herning dressed James Bond himself in a classic polo while he saved the day in Casino Royale and Batman’s wardrobe in The Dark Knight included a selection of bespoke t-shirts by Sunspel as well. Sunspel manufactures their clothing using primarily Long Staple Egyptian cottons and their well-designed, tailored garments provide comfort that no other brand could measure up to. It you are a guy that appreciates great quality and comfort while looking timelessly stylish, Sunspel will certainly save your day. Sunspel will be on site at (capsule) New York this month. In the meantime, check our these behind-the-scenes pictures of the factory.
