Camplin

The story began at the end of the nineteenth century when the Camplin brand became known within the military environment, as the first supplier of an exclusive garment, the Peacoat, to the Royal Navy.

A success fruit of the enlightened intuition of the Camplin family, of Robert, in particular, inventor of this unique garment capable of dressing British Navy Officers to perfection. A practical, versatile, modern and traditional coat at the same time, which led the inventor to obtain the precious Naval General Service Merit Medal, later becoming an original detail of the Peacoat. An iconic and one of a kind garment: it was Robert Camplin's idea to propose the use of the Peacoat as part of the Petty Officer's uniform to differentiate them from sailors and from the Great Coat worn by senior officers.

His idea turned into an outerwear that wanted to evoke the importance of a coat while embracing, however, the practicality of movement.
