Why does every boxer wear Lonsdale?
Lord Lonsdale was the 5th Earl of the Lonsdale family, and was the president of the National Sporting Club of Britain. In 1909 he organised professional boxing according to the Marquis of Queensbury rules. He donated the Lonsdale belt as a gift and trophy to the sport.
Every British boxer who won a championship and successfully defended it three times was awarded a Lonsdale belt. Until 1960 – when commercialisation happened to the label – you weren’t considered a British boxing champion unless you were awarded a Lonsdale belt.
What do the belts look like?
The workmanship on them is amazing. They were made by Mappin and Webb who make the Queen’s jewellery. Today, the belts sell for anything up to $50,000 at auction.
Why did everything change in 1960?
Bernard Hart, an ex-boxer, wanted to get into business. He approached the Earl’s grandson and asked him for a licence to use his name for a range of boxing equipment. Hart understood the game, and made quality boxing equipment. Since then, boxers have wanted to wear his gloves, shoes, etc. However, he always had a practice of non-commercialisation. He never paid anyone to wear Lonsdale; only boxers who chose to, wore it.
Which boxers have been seen in Lonsdale Gear?
Muhammed Ali, Lennox Lewis, Henry Cooper and Mike Tyson are some who have worn the label, but have never been paid to do so.
When did Lonsdale move out of the ring and into sportswear?
Lonsdale always made T-shirts, even though the company was never promoted as a fashion label. In 1979, Paul Weller from The Jam walked into the Lonsdale shop in London to buy some T-shirts. The boxing crew had no idea who he was. He then went on tour wearing Lonsdale T-shirts, which established a cool image for the label, and worldwide demand.
What does the label say about the wearer who isn’t a boxer?
They are a leader, not a follower. Wearing Lonsdale makes the statement, “I’m a fighter, I’m a winner.” It doesn’t matter whether you’re a guy or a girl, it’s about confidence and attitude.
What’s the vibe style-wise?
We do a lot of T-shirts, tanks and singlets. We do cargos, and footwear is a new part of the business. Our bags and accessories – for guys and girls – are also growing fast. Vintage is a big influence for us. The whole move towards retro sportswear is where Lonsdale has always been.
