“We make our clothes, quite simply, for men who appreciate and understand high quality, and who like to be well-dressed, whether at work or relaxing. And we see them as classics — clothes which, thanks to the quality of our fabrics, design and production, will continue to look great over a long period of time,” says Hansen & Jacob’s founder and CEO, Johan Hansen.

knitwear, shirts, suit jackets, coats and shoes.
