Sunspel is a British luxury clothing brand with a proud heritage of innovation. Since 1860 we have been crafting elevated wardrobe essentials from the world's finest natural materials, building a reputation for exceptionally comfortable fabrics, timeless design, and uncompromising quality. Our story began in 1860 in Nottingham, England and we have since developed a global reputation for innovation and quality. The business was founded by textile innovator Thomas Hill in 1860 to craft luxurious garments from cashmere, silk, merino wool and Sea Island cotton. It was passed down through the Hill family, surviving two world wars and the Great Depression, and despite these challenges, the values of quality, innovation and craftsmanship have remained at the heart of our business ever since. We made some of the world's earliest T-shirts and have been perfecting them for over 100 years. Our Classic T-shirt is still made by hand in our English factory. We introduced the Boxer short to Britain in 1947 after John Hill, the great grandson of our founder, discovered the style in America. We designed the Riviera Polo Shirt in the 1950s in a breathable mesh for the summer heat and we tailored it for Daniel Craig's James Bond in Casino Royale.
