Designed with authenticity in every stitch, Goodwood’s Overalls and Dungarees are inspired by the utilitarian workwear of racing drivers, mechanics, and engineers, reflecting a Goodwood legacy that began in 1948.

Styled after the overalls originally worn by the current Duke of Richmond’s grandfather, Frederick “Freddie” Gordon-Lennox, during his motor racing career at Brooklands in the 1930s and later at the opening of our beloved motor circuit in September 1948, these reimagined vintage pieces exude heritage and tradition.

A Legacy of Heritage

This iconic workwear is not just a symbol of the past but a testament to timeless fashion. In a world where trends change with dizzying speed, Goodwood’s Overalls and Dungarees offer a blend of heritage, durability, and sustainability, proving that some styles are truly evergreen.

Crafted with Perfection

Originating from the heart of the global textiles industry, each pair of overalls and dungarees is produced in a facility managed by a perfectionist tailor. After spending 15 years mastering the trade at his uncle’s business in London, he has been producing custom-made clothes since 1998. His passion for craftsmanship is a family affair: his son now works alongside him, his brother manages production, and his sister-in-law designs garments by hand, eschewing computer-aided design to showcase traditional skills.

Quality and Sustainability

Goodwood’s commitment to quality is evident in every stitch. Made from 310gsm 100% cotton fabric dyed to our own specifications, all garments comply with the OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, ensuring they have passed rigorous safety tests for harmful substances. This heavyweight fabric embodies the Revival ethos of “Revive and Thrive,” driving a modern community to rethink garment creation, repair what is broken, and re-wear time and again.

Versatile Styling Options

Available in classic khaki, deep navy blue, white, and pale blue, you can pair the overalls with a flat cap and Freddie March Tartan neck scarf for an authentic mechanic or driver look or wear the khaki or navy blue dungarees with a simple plain t-shirt and headscarf for a classic land girl style. Younger Revival goers needn’t miss out. The full complement of colours is available as overalls for them too, ranging from one-year-old sizes to teenagers – you can count on a cuteness overload.
