Happy Father’s Day from Classic Fella

Forget the tie! Dads and Daddies deserve good under-duds, and this gay-owned menswear company saw a gap in the market for quality and style.

Classic Fella was established to empower men to live at their greatest potential by its founder, Stephen Powell, who was raised in northern Mississippi to aim high and pursue his passions. As a form of creative expression, Stephen began developing the concept of Classic Fella in Spring of 2021 — as a sideline to his profession as a physician.

The result is high-quality undergarments that embody the wearer’s aspirations of a life well lived. Classic Fella is built around the principle of being one’s best, truest self, a thought that echoes the teachings of Stephen’s upbringing. Today, Stephen resides in Atlanta, where he continues to inspire men through Classic Fella, not just in terms of outer presentation but, more importantly, the cultivation of character.

The simple throwback style is simple and elegant, and the high standard Powell has set is immediately apparent at first touch.

The Classic Fella brand tells the story of the discerning man. Specializing in high-end undergarments, we are driven by an initiative of authenticity and camaraderie objectified through wardrobe standards of exceptional quality and lasting style. Inspired by the mid-century American spirit, Classic Fella offers underwear that lasts and it a pleasure to put on.

“Our ideal to live with balance and confidence exemplifies the benchmark of what it means to be a man at his peak – symbolized by our focused Archer,” Stephen says of the brands discreet logo.

“Sustainability is a fundamental part of the brand, adhered through our small physical footprint, usage of natural fiber fabrics, and recycled materials for packaging. Our heritage inspired, made in Italy products are a natural addition to collections of the most selective men, available directly online with plans for key retail partnerships in select men’s stores.”
