Designed in Cornwall, UK, and manufactured in Japan, Sunray Sportswear was founded in 2019 with a philosophy of creating timeless, durable basics. The brand’s identity is rooted in a deep appreciation for vintage 1950s sportswear, which it reinterprets through a modern, minimalist lens. Core products consist of heavyweight t-shirts and sweatshirts, celebrated for their classic, slightly boxy fit and absence of side seams—a result of being crafted on rare, antique loopwheel machines. This traditional Japanese knitting process is exceptionally slow, taking over 1.5 hours to produce a single garment, but yields a seamless, tension-free fabric that is guaranteed to hold its shape.
