Everything You Should Know About Champion Sweatshirts
Iconic designs that date back to 1926. Champion
Ponder the most popular types of athletic apparel. Perhaps sweatshirts, soft, breathable shorts and mesh jerseys come to mind. Rightfully so, they re worn almost universally by professional athletes, amateur ones and everyone in-between. But where do these designs originate from? Did they suddenly appear on the market to widespread acclaim?
Not necessarily, but they all stem from one company: a lesser-known manufacturer named Knickerbocker Knitting Mills founded in 1919 by Syracuse, New York-based wholesale clothier Simon Feinbloom and his sons Abraham and William. At first, they specialized in woolen undergarments and protective uniforms for industrial workers. Eventually, the family shifted their focus to a fledgling category for which plenty of apparel was needed: athletics.

The art of getting dressed Rachel Cooke
The fashion writer Charlie Porter has always been a compulsive reader of the language of clothes, his eye drawn irresistibly to the colour of a stranger’s coat; to the cut of their suit or the logo on their trainers. “I think everyone’s a bit like that,” he says. “We all do it, all the time. Clothes are information. A policeman’s uniform tells you what he does. If you feel threatened or out of place, it’s often clothing that gives you this sense first. But because I’ve worked in fashion, I suppose I’m particularly attuned to it.” Is the sartorial ticker tape in his head a bit exhausting sometimes? “Not exactly.” He laughs. “But the pandemic has given me quite a nice rest from it.”
