Original Penguin Clothing

When it comes to menswear, Original Penguin by Munsingwear is a real American classic. Established in 1955, the brand was the brainchild of Abbott Pederson, a salesman for the Munsingwear clothing factory in Minneapolis. He developed their first Original Penguin polo shirts; known as 'the 55', they were worn by icons including Frank Sinatra and Clint Eastwood.

Original Penguin clothing was relaunched in 2003 by Perry Ellis and has seen a revival in the UK amongst lovers of mod and retro fashion. Classics that have seen a comeback include ever-popular Original Penguin polo shirts and Original Penguin shirts in gingham, floral print and military style.

This season you can stay on trend at Atom Retro with the latest Original Penguin clothing collections - the Urban Safari collection and Retro Sport Luxe collection. Choose from vintage sportswear including 100% cotton pique polo shirts, retro track tops and t-shirts emblazoned with the spiffy Pete the Penguin (Original Penguin's famous logo). We also stock a large range of Original Penguin sale items.
