THE Brands | Sunspel

Sunspel have been making luxury men’s underwear since 1860 and was the first firm to introduced the boxer short to Britain in 1947. From that iconic Levis Launderette advert in 1985 featuring Nick Kamen stripping down to nothing but his pristine white pair of Sunspel boxers, the company has established itself as an essential wardrobe mainstay. 

They are notably much more than simply a luxury ‘essentials’ brand, as renowned costume designer Lindy Hemming foresaw; “I have dressed so many different characters in film and theatre in Sunspel because they are classic, timeless and beautifully made. With Daniel Craig as the new Bond, I thought it would be a perfect collaboration of quality and Britishness to ask Sunspel to create all his t-shirts, polo shirts and underwear. He looks very sexy and happy in their clothing.”

 And Lindy is not alone, Sunspel is widely respected in fashion circles, with design luminaries such as Paul Smith, Thom Browne and Kris Van Asche approaching them to collaborate. This, together with their obsession with developing exceptional fabrics, make us confident that Sunspel boxer shorts and t-shirts are among the best that you will ever wear.
