About Munsingwear Original Penguin:
In 1955, Minneapolis-based Munsingwear —an underwear and military supply company—ironically became the touchstone of suburban sport with the introduction of the first iconic golf shirt in America – an Original Penguin®. The now famous Original Penguin logo has an interesting story behind it. As history tells us, one of Munsingwear's salesmen spotted a flock of penguins in the window of a New York taxidermist—and on what seems like a lark, bought one of the stuffed birds. And before long, the “Pete” the penguin became the official mascot and logo of golf shirts. Its first shirt –the 1955, was an instant golf classic, first to feature an “action guest” or a ribbed slice of fabric on the underarm to avoid rips during even the most enthusiastic golf swing.
An Original Penguin® by Munsingwear became a staple among the masters of suburban leisure well into the 1980s—worn by the likes of Arnold Palmer, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby and Richard Nixon. In 1996, Perry Ellis Incorporated acquired the Munsingwear trademarks and re-launched the Original Penguin brand as a complete sportswear collection in the Spring of 2003.
Penguin Watches:
Inspiration for the Original Penguin watch collection is derived from the philosophy of the brand itself: a commitment to the 1950's heritage, combined with the ideology of a new generation that demands quality and design. Every detail is intentional – a message we are confident that will speak to the ethos of this new generation.
