The original Thomas Pink shirts were constructed on an authentic block and made from 38 separate components, with a 14 piece hand turned collar.

Thomas Pink was founded by three Irish brothers and entrepreneurs, James, Peter and John Mullen.  The company brand name, Thomas Pink came from a London tailor who made red hunting jackets, a color that was  referred to as “hunting pink”  (see “hunting pink” is more red than you think).

“In the Pink”- is an idiomatic expression for in good health.

Thus, the term “in the pink” has been used to refer both to the color of the hunting jackets (those lucky enough to own one) and hunters’ healthy and energetic approach to their pasttime.
