What Rodd & Gunn is known for
New Zealand gentleman's outfitter since 1946 — English Pointer crest, premium cotton and merino, leather care and rugged refinement.
Rodd & Gunn is a New Zealand menswear brand founded in 1946 by Jim Jarvis, bringing Southern Hemisphere values and craftsmanship to an international audience. The company's foundation rests on the classic button-down shirt, a hero piece that remains central to its collections. The brand's most recognizable symbol is an English Pointer dog crest, representing the company's values of loyalty, quality, and timeless appeal. Rodd & Gunn designs premium men's clothing and accessories emphasizing durability and natural fibers. Pieces feature premium Italian cotton and New Zealand-sourced wool, particularly Good Earth Cotton and ZQRX Merino Wool initiatives demonstrating environmental stewardship. The brand extends beyond shirts to encompass polo shirts, t-shirts, jackets, trousers, and leather accessories, each crafted for longevity. A 2-year product guarantee underscores the company's commitment to lasting construction. The brand gained broader recognition when selected to outfit the New Zealand national team for the 2012 London Summer Olympics. Operating from a flagship base in New Zealand while maintaining stores across both hemispheres, Rodd & Gunn embodies what it calls an "Antipodean Attitude"—a quietly determined commitment to quality accessible to international customers.
