Original Penguin began with a stuffed penguin named Pete the Penguin. It's true. In 1955, Munsingwear salesman Abbot Pederson was in New York when he came across a taxidermist’s shop, staring at a display of stuffed penguins. Pederson bought one of the penguins and named him Pete. During the flight home, Pederson somehow knocked the head off of his stuffed friend. A flight attendant jokingly told him it would be cool if the bird was immortalized by being embroidered on a shirt. Pederson took her seriously, and when he got back to Minneapolis he created a golf shirt for Munsingwear with the embroidered penguin. The soar in design wasn't only about the penguin, but about the comfort and quality of the golf shirt itself. The golf shirt had a new features, an "action gusset" under the arms and moved the pocket to the right chest so you would not have interference in your golf swing. Celebrities like Richard Nixon, Frank Sinatra and Clint Eastwood joined the penguin bandwagon. The classic design of the shirt now makes it popular with women and men everywhere. The brand also includes suits, watches, bags, belts, hats, shoes, and women's and kids' collections. It was bought by Perry Ellis International in 1996, and a new sports line was introduced in 2003.
