The story of Original Penguin dates back to 1955 and Munsingwear, a Minneapolis-based underwear and military garment store, that launched the Original Penguin golf-shirt in the United States. Worn by the likes of Richard Nixon, Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, Arnold Palmer, and Bing Crosby, this golf shirt became a symbol in suburban leisure until well into the 1980s. This year, however, they have a new Creative Director in Ann Doty Payne, who lends her unique aesthetic to the brand by introducing new patterns as well as reinvigorating heritage prints with new colourways and silhouettes. We applaud Ms Payne as she put together a nearly perfect collection for the Holiday season. We’d be hard-pressed to choose a favourite, and there’s probably only one or two items we’d wear with a bit of reluctance. Our hats off to Original Penguin for creating menswear as it should be. mash rating: 9/10
