Original Penguin Clothing
The quintessential American clothing company, Original Penguin, made its mark during the 1950s when it was all about polo shirts, penny loafers and well fitting trousers. One man's vision resulted in the powerhouse now known as Original Penguin. It's the classic success story that continues to deliver fine men's clothing, year after year.

The
Penguin label (also known as Original Penguin) is an American clothing label sold throughout the United States and Europe. Penguin offers clothing and accessories for men, women, and kids. Penguin produces a variety of leisure styles, and has been producing this type of style since its beginnings in the 1950s and 1960s.
The Penguin label got its start in a Minneapolis based garment store. From there, the label became nationally and internationally known first for its Original Penguin golf shirt, then for additional clothing and accessories. And although the label’ roots lives in a small Minneapolis clothing shop, the label is now owned by Perry Ellis International.
From the beginning, Penguin was popular with suburbanites and Hollywood alike. Some famous men to wear the Penguin label was Bob Hope Frank, Sinatra, and Richard Nixon. And because the brand has also been featured in American television, it has helped the brand to gain popularity with young men today. This has also led new Hollywood icons such as Brad Pitt and Jake Gyllenhaal to sport the label.
There are two labels to the Penguin brand: Original and Black. The Original label offers clothing for men and also includes sunglasses, belts, and footwear. Penguin’s Black label is a men’s only line that offers a design inspired by golfers. The Black label is sold at the higher end boutiques and specialty stores.
