Thom Morison

Timeless designs and garments of the highest quality are what you can expect from contemporary menswear brand Thom Morison found in Auckland’s Grey Lynn. Established in 2020, the design studio is located on Great North Road and doubles as the retail space. Owner and designer Thom Sussex is always busy pattern-making and sampling his designs in the studio. Guests are always welcome to pop in, try on items and discover more about the clothes and the process of making them.

Inhabiting a heritage-listed 1920s brick building, the studio is bright, airy and intentionally honours and complements the structural elements of the space through hand-crafted objects and a tonal colour palette. Thom’s work table is a focal part of the studio, as is the library of paper pattern designs, illustrating Thom Morison’s against-the-grain, hand-made approach to garment making in a world that is increasingly moving away from this.

The stars of the studio are of course the clothing, crafted from the world’s best fabrics, everything is made in New Zealand. The garment-making process is incredibly important to the Thom Morison brand, quality drives every decision and they make every effort to be as transparent as possible. Detailed information about each supplier and manufacturer can be found on their website or when you visit the studio, Thom himself is happy to chat through this.

Thom Morison was founded on the vision of creating impeccable quality, modular clothing to complement a life well lived. Visiting the design studio, this vision is clear to see and when you buy a Thom Morison garment you know it will be in your wardrobe for years to come.
