Introducing our latest collaboration collection from Nigel Cabourn x Sunspel, two British brands with over 200 years of combined history. This collaboration sees Nigel team up with heritage brand Sunspel for a considered capsule collection of men's clothing – from classic Supima Cotton t-shirts to vintage inspired knitwear with signature Cabourn details.
Sunspel, renowned for its luxurious essentials crafted from the finest materials, and Nigel Cabourn, celebrated for its vintage-inspired designs rooted in military heritage, may seem like unlikely collaborators at first glance. However, it is precisely this contrast that forms the foundation of their partnership. By combining Sunspel's expertise in fabric innovation with Nigel Cabourn's passion for historical authenticity, the collaboration breathes new life into classic wardrobe staples while honoring tradition. As Nigel Cabourn said "we've got the elegance and we've got a little bit of the roughness".
Since 1860 Sunspel have been crafting wardrobe basics from the world's finest materials, and have built a lasting reputation for quality, timeless designs and comfortable essentials. Based at their Long Eaton factory for over 80 years, Sunspel are committed to craft and their classic t-shirts are still handmade in that same factory. 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 their business ever since. Sunspel have invented groundbreaking fabrics, sold their products around the globe and have developed some of the most iconic menswear styles.
Beyond the garments themselves, the Sunspel x Nigel Cabourn collaboration is a celebration of authenticity. It is a reminder that true style transcends trends and fads, rooted instead in a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and heritage. Each piece in the collection tells a story, from the journey of the materials to the inspiration behind the design, inviting the wearer to become a part of a rich sartorial narrative.
