The history of Kappa

Originating in Turin, Italy, Kappa was born as a sub-brand to the socks and underwear company, Calzificio Torinese. In 1956, to amend the loss of sales after a production error, the products were labelled with ‘K-Kontroll’ – a monogram guaranteeing that the quality of the products aligned with German standards. Sales surged, and in 1967, the Kappa (the Italian letter for K) trademark was created.

FAQs

Are Kappa shirts true to size?

  • Kappa shirts generally run true to size, but this can vary depending on the specific cut and style of the shirt. To ensure the best fit, please consult the size guide for each product. If you are in between sizes, it is advisable to go up a size.

What size should I get in Kappa?

  • It’s always best to take measurements and compare them to our size chart. If you prefer a more relaxed fit, stick with the size that corresponds to your measurements. If you prefer a looser fit, you may want to size up if items are described as slim or athletic, as they tend to be more tight-fitting. 

Do Kappa sizes run big or small?

  • Kappa clothing can run slim, so it may be best to size up if you prefer a looser feel; however, sticking to your usual size should still offer a comfortable fit. We’d also suggest sizing up if you are in between sizes (e.g. 8/10, 12/14 and so on).
