ICONS, LEGENDS AND HEROES ALL HAVE AN ORIGINAL STORY. HERE THE ORIGINAL PENGUIN. AMBASSADOR CAMERON SMITH.
In 1955, a sportswear icon was born in the most unusual of places. After drinking a little whiskey while his flight was delayed, Abbot Pederson bought himself an unlikely drinking companion for his flight home: a stuffed penguin, whom he named Pete.
At one point during the flight, and after two or three cocktails, he accidentally bumped Pete the Penguin's head. A stewardess on the flight wrapped a scarf around the penguin's neck and joked: " It would look great on a shirt " This is what led Abbot Pederson to embroider this character on his new shirts. An icon was born.
Since then, Pete the Penguin has left his mark on a whole series of legends, from Frank to Bing and Clint to Arnie. Original Penguin has found favor with the greats of culture and sport, eager to position themselves as American classics, also gifted with fun. Still revered by those who, today, refuse to be conventional, this iconic brand has now fully embodied a lifestyle that is original and entertaining. We offer what you wear to enjoy your best moments.
