Releases from Andersen-Andersen and Benzak Denim Developers
This week, we’re bringing to the fore two heritage European brands that craft inventive and exceptional garments in the best category-focused workshops in the world. Benzak takes inspiration from mid-century workwear and produces over-built pieces made better than they used to be, with a unique design sensibility influenced by the marriage of western and modern style, all conceived in the Netherlands. Andersen-Andersen brings a highly considered collection of knitwear inspired by the classics but with markedly innovative results, using only the finest materials and extremely specific steps of production to yield extraordinary pieces that will hold up to decades of regular use and changing trends. Just in time for spring, this curation represents the types of garments that can be made when passion, tradition, inventiveness, and style are given equal concentration in every step. All in, this collection of goods is a perfect example of vintage character made with premium quality for the contemporary craft enthusiast.
Andersen-Andersen
With a Scandinavian method towards design, raw material souring, and meticulous production, Andersen-Andersen makes unmatched knitwear in Italy through five workshops that each specialize in a single step. Their garments come with this hyper-directional knitwear focus through a high-minded approach to continually enhance utility and style by ensuring the best fiber, yarn, knit, and pattern developments are used. We’re pleased to bring back a selection of the venerable and verified GOTS certified organic cotton knit Short and Long Sleeve Polos, paired with the finest Patagonian fleece sheared wool Work Jacket and Skipper Vest for stylish endeavors, whether they be industrious undertakings, seafaring voyages, or fairway recreations.
Benzak Denim Developers
Also from our original roster, Benzak has become a cult favorite that combines Dutch discernment in design and precise workshop productions in Japan and Portugal. Representing an iteration of their Japanese-made denim, we have the 711 High Tapered in an 11 oz. Selvedge Natural Indigo dyed denim that uses US grown cotton, contrasting stitching, and exclusive details to reflect this exceptional development from fit to function. Additionally, we have a selection of Euro-made pieces using Collect Mills fabrics with a fantastically hearty, indigo dyed 9 oz. Wabash Selvedge Canvas Utility Shirt and the 6.5 oz. Vintage Blue Denim Work Shirt for two tailored tops with functional style in mind, along with the signature BC-01 Tapered Chino in an all-season 10 oz. Reverse Military Twill that combines rugged wear with a refined finish.
