English Laundry began as a vision by Christopher Wicks influenced by his ‘60’s childhood in Manchester, England. His childhood pastime of sketching shirts, shoes, and guitars became a life-long career in designing men’s and women’s apparel. At 22 years old, Chris designed men’s formal shirts for one of England’s largest gentlemen’s shirt manufacturers. 

The English Laundry brand reflects his upbringing in the UK and is well-recognized as a music-driven global lifestyle brand. As the tagline states, the sensibility is Elegant, Arrogant, and English.
