British Racing Green

Few colours are so closely intertwined with a particular strand of the British cultural fabric. The dark, lustrous green associated with car racing at the start of the 20th century endures as a signifier of panache. The drivers of that era were always identifiable by the confident way they carried themselves, regardless of their position on the podium.

British Racing Green

British Racing Green capsule collection, created to celebrate the daring and the debonair. No other shade can hold a candle to ‘BRG’ when it comes to associations with rakish charm and the performance mindset (although this latter must never be prioritised to the detriment of cutting a dash). No specific tone has ever been defined for British Racing Green: you will find it on no Pantone chart and there is disagreement about which hex-code best approximates it. What is agreed upon is that it is a lustrous, dark green shade – probably first used as a nod to the verdant tones of the island of Ireland. When dyed onto high-grade vegetable-tanned leather, the impact is immediate and obvious: timeless appeal, steeped in British heritage.
