Classic Cricket Whites Are Back, Thanks To N.E. Blake & Co.

April 10, 2019 by Angus Wilson in Clothing

As the retro revolution continues to drive culture and fashion statement in the streets and sport, it’s the turn for one of the world’s oldest and most popular games to receive a vintage drop.

Step in, N.E. Blake & Co.

Originally a sportswear business that started in 1926 and operated out of a modest shop in Reading, England called N.E. Blake. Now, over 90 years later, the brand is back for its second innings thanks to Henry Lloyd-Hughes, the great-grandson of the original Founder, Paddy Padwick.

“Having often admired old boys in the nets with proper cotton whites, tailored, made of hard wearing drill cotton, but unable to find them, we’ve decided to make it our mission to create the worlds best cricket whites.”
— Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Founder

An exclusive collection that consist of three items:

  • The “Peter May” Cricket Shirt
