(TORONTO) — Leading sportswear brand Dunning announces the introduction of its Spring 2010 collection, featuring a broad range of precisely-crafted menswear staples — including new Tour Slim Fit tops offering close-cut, vintage 60s inspired tailoring.
Available at finer retailers throughout North America — including Bloomingdale’s and the new Dunning Toronto Boutique opening this October in the Yonge Eglinton district — Dunning’s authentic, premium-quality clothing includes shirts, pants, shorts, sweaters, outerwear, thermal and compression pieces.
Showcasing proprietary technical blends, as well as fine wools and cotton, the brand’s classic country club garments can be paired to create an array of versatile and complimentary looks ideal for business, leisure and athletic pursuits. Distinctively styled with clean lines, proper fits and a refined color palette, they speak directly to the traditions and heritage discerning gentlemen have embraced for decades.
“There’s an inherent price-to-quality ratio to all our clothing that just can’t be matched,” says company founder Ralph Dunning. “Whether it’s our natural fabrics or performance blends, we’re raising the bar by working with the finest materials and very best craftsmen to create enduring looks. The results are tremendously versatile pieces that are perfect for wearing to the office, after work and on weekends.”
Highlights of the new collection include:
* Dunning Tour Slim Fit Tops (MSRP: $65-89)
Designed and engineered for those seeking a true athletic fit, the Dunning Tour label offers close-cut, vintage 60s inspired tailoring. Narrow in the shoulders and torso while featuring a mid-bicep sleeve length and Tour logo detail, these shirts showcase Dunning’s proprietary performance blends.
* Dunning Classic Trouser (MSRP: $150)
Traditional styling is back, as embodied by the Dunning Classic Trouser. Offered in flat front or classic pleat with an unfinished hem for custom tailoring, this pant reflects a unique family heritage of British tailoring and nearly two decades on the leading-edge of technical apparel design. Ideal for the golf, business or fashion-lifestyle experience, it features a proprietary blend of wool, polyester and Lycra®.
* Performance Woven Sportshirts (MSRP: $125)
Showcasing a proprietary blend of cotton, Invista Coolmax® and polyester, Dunning Performance Woven sportshirts are designed to help men of all ages look stylish, stay dry and remain comfortable. They feature a superior hand, superb wrinkle resistance, breathability and moisture-wicking. Quick to dry and extremely lightweight, these tops are ideal for looking sharp in any season or situation.
* Cotton Coolmax® Shorts and Pants (MSRP: $89-$100)
The true hybrid of old-school looks mixed with new-school technology, Dunning cotton-Coolmax® shorts and pants wick moisture and dry instantly. Boasting a lightweight construction and soft hand, these premium-quality prep pieces are available in a variety of classic gentleman’s fabrics and prints — including seersucker, tattersall and gingham — as well as pleated and flat front styles.
* Interface Thermal (MSRP: $90-$120)
Versatile enough for most sporting or leisure activities, the expansive range of Dunning thermal pieces are specifically designed to keep men warm and comfortable while layering without bulk. Crafted to be worn with a close-to-the-body fit, they are available in fine merino wool, cotton, stretch thermal and Thermolite®, a technically-advanced fabric offering superior insulation without added weight along with freedom of movement and superior moisture-wicking properties.
* Heritage Classic Mercerized Polos (MSRP: $80-$89)
These classic, carefully-constructed mercerized cotton polos are designed to provide total comfort. In addition to a luxurious hand, they feature a modern cut with shorter sleeves and a trimmer silhouette. Drawing from a traditional color palette, these shirts are offered in a variety of striped and solid options.
The Spring 2010 collections will begin shipping in November 2009 with sizes ranging from XS-2XL in tops and 30″-42″ in bottoms.

About Dunning
Fueled by both an athletic and authentic country club heritage, Dunning sportswear is built on premium quality, clean silhouettes and classic colors.
Featuring premium quality fabrics and a complete consistency of fit, Dunning garments are born from two decades on the leading-edge of technical apparel design combined with a family tradition of classic British tailoring.
This unique background and unrivalled commitment to producing well-made clothing is expressed in two distinct fabric stories — proprietary performance and traditional materials such as luxurious cotton and wool.
Offering pieces in both categories for each season’s collection, Dunning is devoted to crafting truly versatile menswear staples that are ideal for business, casual, athletic and leisure outings.
Dunning was founded by Toronto native and lifelong athlete Ralph Dunning. A road rider and IRONMAN competitor, Dunning first garnered widespread acclaim in the 1990s for his Rip n’ Hammer line of premium technical clothing for triathletes and cyclists. He also drew praise for work on behalf of some of the world’s largest and most authentic sports brands, including Saucony, GT Bicycles and Cervelo.
Partnering with only the best mills and manufacturing using ISO 9001 facilities allows Dunning to provide discerning consumers with a complete quality assurance. The company also engineers its technical fabrics from the yarn up, meaning performance is built-in and won’t wash- or wear-out after repeated use.
