What to know about Sunray Sportswear
Loopwheeled in Japan, designed in Cornwall
Fabric is knitted on rare antique loopwheel machines at a family-run Miyazaki factory running since 1928, giving side-seam-free, low-tension jersey.
Heavyweight jersey in 1950s proportions
The range is essentially tees and sweatshirts, cut boxy on mid-century athletic lines and named after Hawaiian surf breaks like Makaha and Laniakea.
Materials choices carry the mid price
Recycled and ochiwata cottons, plant-based dyes and compostable packaging explain why basics here sit above high-street pricing without reaching luxury tiers.

Brand facts
Sunray Sportswear designs heavyweight jersey basics in Newquay, Cornwall, and manufactures them in Miyazaki, Japan. Founded in 2019 by Colin and Emma Campbell, the label works with a family-run knitwear factory operating since 1928, knitting fabric on rare antique loopwheel machines that produce side-seam-free, low-tension jersey. Core styles carry Hawaiian surf-break names — Makaha and Haleiwa tees, Laniakea and Puamana sweatshirts — cut boxy in 1950s athletic proportions. Recycled and ochiwata cottons, plant-based dyes, and compostable packaging support the brand's sustainability positioning. Stocked by heritage-leaning retailers including Lost & Found, Redcast Heritage, Extra Butter and Farfetch.
