Brands to Know: Freeman’s Sporting Club

We’re always supportive of brands that do things the right way and there are few examples better than Freeman’s Sporting Club who manufacture all of their goods either in Manhattan, Brooklyn, or New Jersey. They’re one of the brands that has been at the heart of the recent Americana boom in fashion as they draw their inspiration from classic 18th and 19th century American wardrobes combining style with a greater sense of functionality than what you’ll see in any designer collections. While most guys think of selvedge denim and chambray shirts when it comes to the new workwear phenomenon, we love Freeman’s emphasis on classic tailoring.

All of their hand-tailored suits are made in Brooklyn by the famous Martin Greenfield Clothiers, so you can be sure that they’re of the absolute highest quality. When you think of Freeman’s Sporting Club, you’ll think of sturdy donegal tweeds and worsted wools made from deadstock fabrics that you’ll only find with them. Of course, their collection does go past tailoring as they offer sport shirts, outerwear, trousers, and some very solid jeans. If you’re ever in the Lower East Side of New York, be sure to check out their new digs on 8 Rivington St. or at least check out their great online shop.
