Behind The Brand
At FGG we’re diehard motorsport fans. From 5am alarms to watch races on the other side of the world to dedicating our weekends to watching 20 drivers risk it all for glory and our entertainment we believe it's the best sport on earth.
There was just one problem...
We wanted to be even closer to the action and show even greater support for our favourite teams and drivers. Naturally, we started motorsport-inspired merchandise that fulfilled our passion for design and the sport we fell in love with as kids.
What started with an idea in 2022 has now grown to Fifth Gear Family of more than 5000 customers and more than 11,000 items sold.
Handmade to order
From our studio in Wimbledon, all of our designs are meticulously crafted by our co-founders Jordan and Zoe.
From subtly embroidered garments paying homage to the greatest drivers and teams of all time, to circuit and track designs sourced from around the globe—each piece serves as a captivating conversation starter for racing fans.
Building a community
As our family grows so does our passion for our craft. We believe its our responsibility to give back to our customers and treat every piece with the care and attention it deserves. We know that this sport is divisive, fierce and competitive but one thing we all share is a love for the pinnacle of motorsport.
