Our Story

We’re 1892 Supply Co. — a clothing brand built on the backbone of Grimsby’s dockyard heritage.
Founded by Joshua , Elliot , and Sam , three mates who’ve spent their working lives in engineering, the brand was born out of pride for where we come from — the docks, the sea, and the hard-working hands that kept them moving.

Everything we make is inspired by the Dock Tower, the trawler fleets, and the working men and women who built this town.
Every stitch, print, and label tells a story of industry, pride, and resilience.
We don’t chase trends — we build timeless gear that feels as real as the people wearing it.

Our tees, hoodies, and workwear are made for everyday use, oversized for comfort, heavy in weight, and honest in design.
No plastic blends. No throwaway fashion. Just proper gear, built to last.

OUR STORY

We grew up under the shadow of the Dock Tower — a landmark that stood watch over generations of dockers, trawlermen, and shipbuilders.
When we looked around, we realised that history was fading — and we weren’t having it.
So we built 1892 Supply Co. to carry that legacy forward, one piece at a time.

Each collection is a chapter of that story — the Core Range for the grafters, the Limited Memorial Drops for the ones who never came home, and the Marina Co. line for the modern coast.

This isn’t just clothing — it’s a tribute.
To the docks. To the trade. To the town that built us.

WHAT WE STAND FOR

  • Honest Quality: 100% cotton, heavy-weight, built to last

  • Oversized Comfort: Cuts that feel right — not restrictive

  • Real Heritage: Every piece inspired by Grimsby’s dockside grit

  • Respect for Craft: Designed for workers, not mannequins

  • Local Pride: Born and designed right here in Grimsby
