Chunk T-Shirts | Chunk Clothing and Polo Shirts
Chunk t-shirts – born in the pub and cool on the street.
As with many great ideas to come out of the UK, the Chunk t-shirts brand was born over a pint of beer and a packet of peanuts. Beginning life in 2001, the first collection of Men’s Chunk clothing featured twelve iconic covers from the Haynes car manual. These officially licensed designs became an instant hit with fashion followers and retro car enthusiasts.Early designs included such classics as the Volkswagen Beetle and camper van. As demand increased the Chunk brand expanded into the world of cartoon nostalgia. Impressively, the label manged to secure the rights to produce designs featuring characters licensed from Warner Bros. It was at this point that Chunk t-shirts began to make its mark amongst the UK Men’s fashion followers.
Retro cartoon characters such as Hong Kong Phooey, the Anthill Mob and Captain Caveman were given the Chunk clothing design treatment. This involved iconic imagery combined with unusual scenarios to create a unique form of Chunk inspired humour. Further success paved the way for more Chunk t-shirt collaborations including license deals with the BBC, Looney tunes, Marvel comics and even Monty Python. However the biggest design venture was yet to follow.
Chunk clothing – officially licensed Star Wars range takes success to a new galaxy
In 2007, the success of Men’s Chunk clothing reached a whole new level or galaxy you might say, with the award of the rights to produce Star Wars inspired designs. Lucas films granted Chunk the right to use characters such as Yoda, Darth Vader and the Stormtroopers. This has become a hugely successful partnership for the brand and resulted in many memorable and humorous design mash-ups.Yoda and Darth Vader have been re-invented on many Chunk t-shirts and the latest designs have seen key Star Wars characters become part of the Dj and music scene. Offering bold graphics and tongue in cheek humour, combined with the huge cult of Star Wars has resulted in Chunk clothing evolving into a global brand phenomenon.
Such demand for cool Men’s retro t-shirts has resulted in the latest Chunk clothing enjoying distribution throughout the World in countries such as Italy, Belgium, Germany, Spain and France. This once again demonstrates how the UK continues to influence world fashion and set the trend in Men’s designer fashion.
