Our new colours for the spring and summer are now available here on our website. There are several new blues there (including ‘cobalt’ and ‘india ink’), a subtle grey we’re calling mist, and even a pink.

Contemporary shopping, Japanese style

Julian Firth: aviator, adventurer, style aficionado
Bringing a design classic back to life
Tuesday, 20th April 2010
Julian Firth is an unusual mix: a man of action and a fan of great British design. But when you see the kind of design he loves – that cool modernist style from the 50s and 60s – it all makes sense. This was an era when men of action looked sleek and stylish (and so did their aircraft). Read full article »
Sunspel saves the day
Keeping the funk alive
Monday, 19th April 2010
We got a distress call at Sunspel HQ this afternoon from some good friends in New York. They told us that some friends of theirs have been trapped in the UK because of the Icelandic volcanic ash cloud, which is currently causing havoc with flights across Europe.

From Dazed & Confused to the Mail on Sunday
An unusual appeal
Wednesday, 7th April 2010
Sunspel clothing has appeared in recent weeks in both Dazed & Confused magazine (a self-consciously cool style mag) and the Mail on Sunday (a middle England favourite). We’ve also recently been featured in the Sunday Telegraph as well as GQ. It seems we cut across the normal boundaries. Or the normal boundaries are dissolving.
It’s now open!

Well it may have a little scaffolding on it, but our first permanent London store is now truly open for business. We’ve spent the last week or two frantically preparing it, sorting out the interior and working on the exterior, and at last we’re proud to say we’re open.
Bad news from the far north
Ben Saunders trek runs into trouble
Wednesday, 31st March 2010
Afraid there’s been some bad news from the Arctic. A few days ago, far out on the ice, Ben discovered that most of his food had been contaminated by fuel after a canister cracked following some particularly intense pounding. Losing that much food is catastrophic for an expedition that relies on being very fast and very light. So he returned to base to consider his options.
