What Old Money Sells
Old Money is a fashion brand built on a deliberate constraint: quality over quantity. The brand states plainly on its site that it prefers to make forty pieces properly rather than four hundred quickly — a positioning statement against the volume-first logic of fast fashion. The collection is small by design, focused on essentials that work across multiple seasons without needing replacement.
The range covers men’s and women’s clothing and footwear. Linen shirts and trousers anchor the wardrobe core. Suede loafers — in tassel and lace-up formats — handle footwear. Polos in knit and woven constructions fill the smart-casual middle ground. Accessories including watches, sunglasses, and jewellery complete the picture without expanding into unrelated categories.
The aesthetic is consistently coastal-preppy: understated, tonal, and deliberately non-trendy. Buyers who want a coordinated wardrobe that reads polished without overt branding will find the collection coherent in a way that multi-category retailers rarely manage.
The Footwear
The Men’s Suede Tassel Loafers are the brand’s signature shoe. Soft textured suede upper, moc-toe stitching, and tonal tassels keep the silhouette classic. A lightweight contrast sole avoids the visual heaviness that wider soles can bring to a slim trouser. The fit is supportive per the brand’s description — suede insoles are noted on the loafer family.
The Premium Formal Penny Loafers take a cleaner direction: no tassels, a sleek silhouette with cushioned insole, designed to transition from office to dinner. The penny loafer format is the most versatile of the dress-casual shoe types — it can wear with a suit, a chino, or a loose linen trouser without looking out of place.
The Tops
The Vintage Stripe Rugby Polo is the boldest piece in the collection. Bold horizontal stripes in a relaxed structured fit — it reads as a sportswear reference without being a sports item. Polyester fibre construction keeps the weight low and the piece easy to care for.
The Signature Contrast Trim Polo is the quieter option: clean silhouette, contrast sleeve detailing, zip-up collar for flexible styling between smart-casual and purely casual. Textured knit construction gives it more visual interest than a plain jersey.
The Men’s Mandarin Collar Shirt is a modern-minimal take on the classic button-up. A band collar eliminates the traditional collar and tie requirement — suitable for settings where a regular dress shirt would feel overdressed but a plain T-shirt underdressed. The lightweight textured cotton and relaxed fit also make it a practical warm-weather piece for travel.
The Palais Trousers
The Palais Trousers are the brand’s wide-leg trouser. Premium-feel fabric described as moving with a silk-like glide, elasticated waistband for comfort, and clean-finish hems for easy styling. Wide-leg trousers in this weight class are most flattering when worn with a fitted upper — the Mandarin Collar Shirt or a fitted knit polo keeps the proportions balanced. The elastic waistband means no belt is required, which keeps the overall silhouette cleaner and makes the trouser accessible across a range of waist sizes without tailoring.
Shipping, Returns & Warranty
Old Money ships to 65+ countries. Orders process within 24–48 hours; standard delivery is 5–7 business days. A qualifying order total unlocks free shipping — the current threshold is on the brand’s site. Returns are accepted within 30 days, no questions asked. Customers cover return shipping. Returned items go to the GiveBackBox charity donation program.
Is Old Money Worth It vs. Alternatives?
The closest direct comparison is Percival, a London-based elevated basics brand with a similar small-catalog philosophy. Percival’s fabrics and fit details are more extensively documented on product pages; Old Money’s editing is tighter. For buyers in the US who want the coastal-preppy aesthetic at a lower entry point than Ralph Lauren or Polo, Old Money fills that gap more cleanly than most direct-to-consumer alternatives.
For buyers who prioritize technical fabric specs, extensive size charts, or live customer service, the brand’s catalog documentation may feel thin. The minimalism of the product pages is on-brand but leaves some practical questions unanswered before purchase.
How We Researched This Review
This review is based on Old Money’s brand website, the About page, individual product listings for all six products reviewed, the shipping and returns policy page, and the GiveBackBox partnership details. We did not order or wear the garments.
A note on what this review can and cannot tell you: Old Money’s product pages are deliberately minimal. Fabric weights, precise thread counts, and country-of-manufacture are not published on the product pages reviewed for this article. The material claims — 100% linen, suede, cotton-knit — are sourced from the brand’s own product descriptions. Buyers with strict sourcing requirements should contact the brand directly before ordering. For most buyers choosing between the Mandarin Collar Shirt and a standard button-up, or between the Palais Trousers and a fast-fashion wide-leg trouser, the available information is sufficient to make a confident decision.
