Red x Thread The Shelby American™ Collection

Shelby is a name synonymous with the world of classic motorcars and if you’re a fan of the iconic machine, you’ll definitely want to sit up and take notice of this awesome looking Shelby American™ Collection from Red X Thread. They are understandably proud to partner with Shelby American on a new heritage series of apparel which has been released as a tribute to the work of Carroll Shelby – race driver, car designer, entrepreneur, legend. His association with Ford in the mid 60’s transformed the sporty Mustang into the now-legendary GT350 and GT500 racers and made sure that there has always been a continuing place for the Shelby name in American car culture.

Red X Thread is a Canadian menswear brand that has been directly inspired by the Carroll Shelby legacy and is dedicated to celebrating this rich heritage with high standards of design and craftsmanship. Check out the best bits from The Shelby American™ Collection from Red X Thread below:
