Gant clothing and accessories

Gant is a premium lifestyle brand known for its heritage in American sportswear. Founded in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1949 by Bernard Gantmacher, the brand revolutionized the men's shirt with features like the button-down collar and the locker loop. While it began as a specialized shirtmaker, it evolved into a global fashion house offering a full range of clothing and accessories.

Today, Gant's production is distributed across multiple countries to maintain its global supply chain, including manufacturing hubs in Asia and Europe. The brand emphasizes high-quality materials and a preppy aesthetic that blends European sophistication with American East Coast style.

Ownership of Gant has changed hands multiple times. After being owned by Swedish investors for several decades, it was acquired by the Swiss holding company Maus Frères SA in 2008. Maus Frères remains the ultimate owner today, managing Gant alongside other high-profile brands like Lacoste and Aigle. The company continues to headquarter its operations in Stockholm, Sweden, preserving its strong European business ties.
