Classic 1591 Brand Customary Apparel Package
A SEA OF WHITE & RED
The customary attire for everyone attending Fiesta is a uniform of white shorts, pants, skirts and shirt accented with a red pañuelo (bandana) and faja (waist sash). The locals can get a little offended if you show up and don’t honor this important custom because it remembers the beloved Christian martyr for whom the Festival is named. The white represents his sanctity. The red bandana about the neck remembers his blood spilled cruelly. The red sash is always knotted tightly on the left hip symbolizing the blood from a knife to his heart. Local butchers of the time also wore white. The red bandana about the neck captured their sweat, and the red sash about their waist was used to wipe their hands.
JOIN THE CLUB
Social Clubs known as Peña’s are the backbone of the Festival de San Fermin. They provide valuable volunteer support and advocacy for the annual fiesta. Our Official Club “1591” honors the first year of the running of the bulls. The bold graphic on the back of our shirt is a nod to the electric moment in the Opening Ceremony when all in attendance raise their bandana and tie it around their necks in unison. Formed in 2006, the 1591 Club now includes thousands of members from around the globe. Our brand is well-established in Pamplona, and as you see others wearing 1591 gear, you’ll know they’re fellow travelers with whom you share a meaningful connection.
SHIRT TYPES & SIZES
There are men’s and women’s styles of our t-shirts. They’re available in sizes XS – 3XL. The shirts tend to run a little small, so we encourage North Americans to go up one size.
