The path to Strong Island Clothing Co becoming the brand it is today could not of been a more organic growth experience. I designed the 'Branded' anchor logo for the original Strong Island website back in 2010, which is a now well read and popular online cultural resource for Portsmouth & Southsea.

The logo was well received and after a few months we printed a short run of 30 one colour tees, all individually wrapped with hand stamped labels. To our surprise we were getting more tees printed the following week after selling out straight away, and over the following 2 years we produced the design in various colours.

Support local business 😍. We buy lots of clothing from Tristan and he sells some items that make great gifts, great calenders too.
Stock is changed regularly with new designs so you can always find something that is new and different 😀

After placing an online order and accidently pressing 'collection', Tristan emailed and posted the order out free of charge. Very grateful. Lovely products, true to size and great customer service.

Ordered one of their beautiful jackets using the click and collect function and it was ready to collect with a smile from the shop in under an hour! You can’t do that on Amazon! ❤️

Love anything local Pompey being Pompey born and bred but now living in Glasgow. Ordered the 2021 calendar and a tee from here and the quality is superb. Tee-shirt was for gym but far too good for that use. Will be sure to get plenty more from these. PUP mush😘👍

This is a brilliant business, really high quality and original clothing from t-shirts to bobble hats to sweatshirts as well as a host of other gifts. My favourite shop in Southsea.

This place is putting Pompey on the map for all the right reasons - I've got a great woolly hat, a rain coat, two stylish enamel mugs, and my favourite jumper from here and I'm always being asked where I got them from by my friends. The clothes are really good looking and hard wearing. It's not a budget place but certainly worth the money. The only thing think they could improve on is to expand the selection of ladies clothes - I have no trouble finding man's stuff every time I come in here but my girlfriend struggles to find ladies clothes of the same quality here.

The gear is top quality and nice that where possible it is produced locally to the south coast. My wardrobe is 75% Strong Island tees.
