Our Story

Too Many T-Shirts was founded in 2017 by Simon Bellamy, its original owner. After spending a few years at university and accumulating a wardrobe overflowing with t-shirts, each tied to a fond memory, Simon realised it was time to find a solution to declutter.

What happened next? Nothing. Those t-shirts remained in the drawers for a few more years. But then, the t-shirt blanket was born! In early 2017, Too Many T-Shirts was officially launched.

Building Momentun

After a slow and steady start, we gained momentum in 2018,
thanks to the support of 319 backers, raising 163% of our Crowdfunder target.
This success allowed us to grow and serve hundreds of happy customers.

Finding A Partner

As demand continued to rise, it became clear that upscaling production was necessary. After a thorough search, we partnered with family owned and Chesterfield-based contact sewing business, Specialised Canvas. This collaboration became a key part of our operations, enabling us to maintain UK-based manufacturing and high-quality products while expanding to meet the growing demand.

A New Chapter

After more than 6 years of successful partnership and
growth, Specialised Canvas reached an agreement to acquire the business in 2024.
Today, all operations are managed from our 25’000 square feet contract sewing
business located just over 1 mile from junction 29a of the M1.
