K-Class is a unique clothing brand that stands as an expression of style and simplicity.
It started as the dream of two brothers in the West Midlands. In 2019, Joe and Jake designed a brand that symbolises unity. It was born with inspiration from family and close friends, who have contributed with ideas and support to make K-Class possible and define what it is today.
K-Class highly understands the heritage behind the polo shirts, and even though there are countless versions of this remarkable piece of clothing in the market, we pride ourselves on introducing unique designs made in England, where we have teamed up with local businesses to support each other and to deliver exclusivity and quality to every polo shirt that we release.
The founders have always seen this garment as a stylish, yet affordable option during their working-class background. They quickly became polo shirt’s enthusiasts, resulting in an educated view when it comes to the quality of the fabric, the neatness of the stitching and the appreciation of fine embroidery.
K-Class is a polo shirt company at its very core. We have the vision of carrying on growing and reach high-quality standards on every collection and be part of the forefront of the British fashion industry.
The Brand
The K-Class philosophy is reflected in the logo, which is composed of three elements that describe the essence of the brand.
K
The “K” is in loving memory of the owners’ grandfather, Kenneth, who sadly passed away in 2018. Kenneth was a kind, honourable man who taught Joe and Jake a great amount throughout his life and will always play a massive part in the inspiration that both have put into this brand. A true gentleman.
C
The “C” stands for Class. We produce every garment with the sole intention of celebrating the classy lifestyle of a gentleman. We understand that the art of class is about being stylish and sophisticated. We design our clothing to reflect a combination of comfort and refinement on every detail, from the fabric to the stitching, to the precise embroidery.
V
The last element is a “V” which represents the first letter of each collection to be released. Each collection will be moving forward with the trends of the fashion industry and targeting areas and global issues that we feel are important while keeping the nature of the brand. Certainly, we believe that this makes K-Class an exceptional design brand unlike any other in the industry.
Our Mission
To create stylish and better fitting clothing with top quality material, constructed through local businesses, while always working with and building a close bond with our customers.
Making K-Class possible has been our dream and we wanted to share it with others. K-Class will always be in memory of our beloved late grandfather, who always gave us the courage to pursue our dreams. We dedicate our clothing brand to him and to anyone else interested in making it grow. With your help, we will carry on delivering the style and the support to global challenges that we promise in this mission statement.
Since the very start of the idea of creating a clothing brand, the word inspiration has been one of the pillars to achieve our goals. It is about getting inspiration from the fashion industry, however, it is also about inspiring others in taking part to make our world a bit better.
In the progress of the K-Class, we have seen a pandemic that made us realise the importance of supporting each other. Therefore, we pride ourselves that, even before this worldwide chaos, we partnered up with local businesses to ensure support, exclusivity and fellowship.
We, as manufacturers, have the responsibility of creating awareness of social concerns and invite others to cooperate. We believe that businesses can have a voice that can lead to change. We have an ethical responsibility and we always will. (Read our ethical statement to learn more).
Thank you for stopping by and have a brilliant day.

In memory of Kenneth D. (1931-2018)
