Strongman Mark Felix has revealed a new collection of clothing from Regatta Professional named after him.

The East Lancashire strongman has showcased the workwear brand ,which was launched in 2020 as part of Regatta Professional’s 300-piece range.

The clothing range is aimed at tradespeople, with sizes from XS to 3XL, with the Mark Felix collection now available to buy in shops and online.

Mark said on his Instagram page: “Today my collection of workwear with Regatta Workwear is available to shop!

“I've been wearing this for work for a few weeks now and it's all been designed to make difficult days at work a little bit easier, I think the trousers with the knee pads are awesome.”

Megan Pacey, marketing manager at Regatta Professional, said: “We’re really looking forward to building the brand with Mark Felix.

"With Mark being in the plastering trade, he’s the ideal partner for Workwear and perfectly embodies the strong determination and proven durability of the brand."

At the age of 23, Felix moved to Great Harwood and turned his attention to strongman competitions in 2003 at the age of 37.

Mark, a regular in the World’s Strongest Man competition ,has wowed crowds across the world for nearly 20 years. The 6ft ft 4inch strongman has set a number of world records in his career including in the Hercules Hold event at Giants Live Manchester 2019 with a time of 87.52 seconds. 

Regatta’s new Mark Felix Collection includes among other clothing legwear, hi-vis hoodies and waterproof overalls.

Mark said: “I really like the Garrison Hooded Jacket and Offensive Wicking Polo.

"I like to look good at work and they both have style as well as having a comfy feel too.

"As a muscly guy, I struggle to find work clothes that fit, but the Workwear range goes up to 3XL – my size!”

Megan added: “We’re committed to working with trades people and providing quality clothing that’s full of features to help when you’re on the tools.”

Mark also has his own brand of clothing and products he offers on his own website to fans across the world.
