Confounded by the trend of grown men wearing questionable attire, Seun Olubodun, along with his equally flummoxed English Bulldog, HRH the Duke, envisioned a clothing line that would cater to the more discerning gentleman.

With that goal in mind, Duke & Winston was launched in early 2009 as a light casual-wear brand for men, one that places substance, refinement, and practicality above the flashy, indulgent, and downright barbaric style that has flooded the market of recent.

The Duke & Winston name pays homage to both the aforementioned Bulldog, HRH the Duke himself (placed first on the letterhead at his insistence) and the greatest gentleman of his (or any other) time: Sir Winston Churchill, widely known as the "British Bulldog" for his tenacity (as well as for his wrinkly resemblance to said dog breed). Each, in their own right, embody the fundamental precept upon which Duke & Winston was founded: that true gentlemen (and Dogs) of every era prefer to craft a style all their own.

Conceptually, Duke & Winston draws its inspiration from founder Olubodun’s upbringing in various parts of the world, particularly Olubodun’s formative years spent in the United Kingdom. Aesthetically, our design concepts are drawn from various periods throughout history, and are blended with new and modern notions of gentlemanly style; the result, we believe, is a line of clean and unique apparel that appeals to the fashion-forward man of today, while remaining ever mindful of the past.

As a young company, Duke & Winston is working diligently to create a complete collection that will meet the expectations for quality and style that  our customers should come to expect from us.  As always, we appreciate your patience and support.

God Save the Duke.
