Original Penguin is working towards more sustainable practices through responsible material sourcing and ethical manufacturing partnerships. The brand focuses on quality construction to create lasting garments.
In 1955, Munsingwear salesman Abbot Pederson bought a stuffed penguin named Pete. When its head fell off on a flight, a stewardess wrapped a tie around it and suggested it would look good on a shirt. This spontaneous idea created one of fashion's most iconic logos.
Original Penguin began as a golf brand, with its shirts worn by legends like Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. While maintaining golf heritage, it's evolved into a full lifestyle brand offering clothing, footwear, and accessories for everyday wear.
Pete the Penguin represents the brand's heritage of effortless cool and playful sophistication. The logo has been associated with style icons since the 1950s and remains a symbol of the brand's distinctive identity.
Original Penguin primarily focuses on menswear but has offered women's collections and accessories at various times. The current range is predominantly menswear with some unisex accessories.
