We first started using our Sea Island Cotton back in 1922 when we were renowned for our high-quality underwear. The thermal properties of cotton made it the perfect materials for the most comfortable long johns and vests during the colder climates. It wasn’t until ten years later that we manufactured our first outwear pieces using our wonderful Sea Island Cotton and we haven’t looked back.

These first iconic garments were pioneers and since then our range of cotton garments has expanded to include men’s t-shirts in over 25 colours, our iconic long-sleeve polo shirts, and even a range of accessories including scarves and stylish men’s socks. With new colour palettes each year, our seasonal hues and original shades are expanding within the John Smedley Sea Island Cotton collection, enabling you to have a choice of many shades depending on your mood and occasion.
