Like all good legends, the idea for Original Penguin emerged out of an elegantly wasted evening. Abbot Pederson was in New York on business. In search of a taxi rank after a late night at the bar, Abbot took a wrong turn and found himself outside a taxidermist's shop window, looking at a stuffed penguin. Abbot took to Pete (as he was to be named) so much he bought him the next day and eventually immortalised him as the logo for Original Penguin.

Growing out of a range of golf shirts that were adopted by some of America's most iconic figures, including Rat Pack legends, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra, Original Penguin revives the 50s and 60s tradition of great tailoring with effortless cool. You can see this from our range of polos, v-necks, t-shirts and shorts which combine athletic spirit with a laid-back attitude.

Whether you're on the golf course playing a quick nine holes or sipping a martini in a New York bar, Original Penguin is always the brand to wear.
