About Postal Clothing

A Dundee brand that started with a graffiti tag

Neil Roy — Nel to most people — was working as an assistant manager at the Scottish clothing shop Manifesto when he started designing t-shirts. He had spent enough time handling stock from expensive labels to think the prices and the quality had drifted apart, and said as much to colleagues before deciding to do something about it. He named the brand Postal after his old graffiti tag, screen-printed a short run and posted a picture to his own Instagram. It sold out in a couple of hours. He repeated it for six months until it became a business. Postal has since run two capsule collections with the Glasgow DJ and producer Jasper James, and is stocked by 18montrose and Seven Store.

The prints

Postal is a graphic brand first. The Sickboy print appears on both a tee and a hood, and the Kinks print tee carries the heaviest artwork in the collection. The prints reference club culture and music rather than logos, which is why the branding elsewhere on the garments stays minimal. Cotton bases are heavier than a standard tee, which holds the print better and stops it looking flimsy on a black body.

The outer layers

The Headline Track Top is the more wearable piece here — polyester shell, covered centre zip, ribbed cuffs, adjustable hem and front pockets, with the branding kept to the chest. It works as a light layer on days when a hood is too warm. The Ledger Windbreaker is the lightest thing in the collection and the plainest, for anyone who wants the brand without the front print.

More graphic tees are in t-shirts, with related pieces in hoodies and No Problemo.

Postal FAQs

A Scottish streetwear brand from Dundee, founded by Neil Roy, who goes by Nel. He named it after his old graffiti tag and started by screen-printing short runs of t-shirts, which sold out within hours of being posted online.
The Sickboy print tee and hood, the Kinks print tee, the Headline track top and the Ledger windbreaker. All in black, with the graphic print doing most of the work.
Club culture, music and personal imagery rather than logos. Roy has described the approach as thought-provoking artwork on embroidery and print, which is why the brand marks elsewhere on the garment stay small.
Yes. Postal has produced two capsule collections with Jasper James, the Glasgow DJ and producer, both of which sold out.
Turn it inside out, wash cool at 30°C and avoid the tumble dryer, which is what cracks a print over time. Don't iron directly over the artwork. On a black cotton base, a cool wash also keeps the colour from fading.
Subject to stock, yes — at 13 Old Bank Street in Manchester and 86 Pinstone Street in Sheffield. This is a small collection, so call ahead before travelling for a particular piece or size.
