SUIXTIL HISTORY
 
Suixtil grew into a well-known brand in Argentina in the 1940s and ‘50s, founded on its high quality gentlemen's wear, sportshirts and suits, and its constant involvement in international car racing, a sport then as now, full of heroism and glory, that gave the brand its renown and cachet.
 
In 1948 the Argentinean Automovil Club (ACA) created a national team of race drivers, called the "Armada" (team), to contest the Formula 1 and Formula 2 Championships in Europe. Juan Manuel Fangio, a 35 year old truck driver from Balcarce, was the star of the Escuderia Suixtil driver line-up, which included Argentinean team mates Benedicto Campos in 1949, Jose Froilan Gonzalez in 1950 and Onofre Marimon in 1951.
 
The Escuderia Suixtil team raced the Maserati 4CLT/48, and later two Ferrari Tipo 166 F2 cars. Fangio also secured a seat in a Simca-Gordini, which saw Escuderia Suixtil team compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1950-51.
 
Suixtil sponsored the national Argentine team and supplying all the racing outfits, which gave the company title naming rights, hence the "Escuderia Suixtil" name. The specially crafted Suixtil racing uniform consisted of light blue race pants and a yellow or white short sleeve shirt, both proudly sporting the distinctive red Suixtil embroidered name.
 
As the success and fame of the Escuderia Suixtil grew, so did the popularity of the Suixtil racing outfit and its clothes. Fangio gladly gave away the Suixtil race pants and shirts to other Formula 1 drivers and friends, including Stirling. The Suixtil race gear became the "must-have" outfit for any race driver in Europe and the Americas. It was the very first generation of professional race gear.
 
For the remainder of the 1950s, Suixtil was worn by many legendary racing drivers who garnered an impressive and unmatched palmares whilst wearing their Suixtil race gear. Today, the same Suixtil race pants and shirts, together with the red long sleeve polo shirt and the navy blue sweater, have become the foundation of Suixtil Heritage Line, a faithful and authentic recreation of that original Suixtil racing uniform.
