Get to Know Us

1892 Supply Co. is a heritage-inspired clothing brand rooted in the maritime grit of Grimsby, United Kingdom — a historic fishing port defined by hard work, resilience, and community. Named after the year the iconic Dock Tower was completed, the brand channels the industrial soul of the docks into modern, wearable garments for everyday life.

We design durable, story-driven apparel that honours the past while shaping the present — from dockside grafters and trawler crews to today’s creators, makers, and urban explorers.

Our Mission

To preserve and celebrate working-class history and maritime identity through bold, honest design — offering premium, accessible pieces that feel lived-in, built to last, and rich in meaning.
 

Why 1892?

Because Grimsby’s Dock Tower isn’t just a landmark — it’s a legacy.
And that legacy deserves to be worn, remembered, and passed on.

About Us – 1892 Supply Co.

From the Dockyard to the Deck



We’re Josh Oxley and Sam Ogden — founders of 1892 Supply Co., and best mates since we first met at secondary school at 11 Years old and that was a long time ago.

Both of us came up working in the engineering world, grafting in tough environments where quality gear and hard-wearing kit actually matter.

Sam spent 8 years serving in the Royal Air Force, which is where the inspiration for our military tribute line came from — honouring those who serve and those who never made it home.
We both grew up around the dockyards and always felt like the heritage here was being forgotten. 
1892 Supply Co. was born out of pride for where we’re from — Grimsby, its dockside grit, and the history etched into the brickwork of the tower that’s stood over this town since.

That tower isn’t just a landmark — it’s a symbol of working hands, cold mornings, and strong backs it’s a symbol of what built this town. Everything we make is a tribute to that

We built this brand for people like us. People who respect legacy. Who carry weight. Who show up, get on with it, and stand for something.

“We’re not just making clothes — we’re telling the story of the coast, the fleet, and the ones who kept it all afloat.”

What We Stand For:
   •    Oversized fits that don’t cut corners
   •    Heavy cotton, bold graphics, heritage feel
   •    Pieces inspired by fishing fleets, dockyard trades, and military service
   •    Designed in Grimsby. Built for anyone who grafts, anywhere
